Abstract: A hybrid capillary and mechanically pumped loop heat pipe (HLHP) includes a fluid loop having, an evaporator thermally coupled to a heat load, a condenser thermally coupled to a heat sink, a reservoir, and one or more magnetically levitating pumps configured to pump fluid through the loop thereby improving heat transport capacity and system stability without compromising maintenance-free, long life operation of a conventional loop heat pipe.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing lube oil basestocks involving solvent extracting a waxy feed to produce at least a lube oil boiling-range raffinate. The lube oil raffinate is hydrotreated to produce a hydrotreated raffinate, which is dewaxed and hydrofinished.
