Advances and prospects in heat pipe: A critical eview

As an efficient heat transfer element, the heat pipe has excellent thermal conductivity. It has important application value in chemical, building materials, metallurgy, power engineering, bioengineering and other fields. In order to systematically analyze the development trend of heat pipe, the paper takes the literature on heat pipe from 2010 to 2020 included in the Web of Science database as the data source, and analyzes the collected data with information visualization software CiteSpace to draw out the heat pipe technology countries, institutions, research authors distribution network map, showing the technology research power distribution and cooperation in scientific research. The use of software co-occurrence analysis of the hot science and technology of heat pipe technology, at the same time, the key words co-occurrence network diagram and literature citation network are used to analyze the research hotspots, research frontiers and trends of heat pipe technology.
