Abstract: A tapered groove width heat pipe is disclosed, including a tube having an internal surface, a first end, a second end, and a central axis. A plurality of groove walls on the internal surface define a plurality of trapezoidal grooves. Each groove wall has a proximal width closest to the central axis and a distal width furthest from the central axis, the proximal width of a portion of each groove wall tapering gradually between the first end and the second end.
