Priming considerations of heat pipes in zero-GInvestigations into the forces which govern the geometric configuration of the liquid vapor interface in Grumman's high capacity monogroove Heat Pipe are made. Two separate methods are used to determine the time to prime and computer programs using these mathematical techniques are developed and presented. A description of the two techniques along with a discussion of the variation of the results follows. In addition, experimental procedures for tests designed to verify modeling predictions are described.
