Which phenomenon inhibits the heat transfer efficiency in heat pipes?

💡 Explanation

Viscous drag increases as liquid viscosity rises because it resists the fluid flow within the heat pipe via the momentum diffusion viscous mechanism. Therefore increased viscous drag impedes efficient heat recirculation, rather than simple condensation or gravity.
