A heat pipe is a device that uses heat conductivity and the large latent heat of phase

Question:

A heat pipe is a device that uses heat conductivity and the large latent heat of phase change to transfer heat very efficiently between two solid bodies. Research the subject. What is the role of gravity? Why is the heat pipe evacuated before a carefully measured amount of fluid is added. How can the same heat pipe with the same working fluid be used between quite different temperature objects? Why does a heat pipe fail when it is overheated or sub-cooled?
