Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

My general evaluation for the article titled “3D Printed Oscillating Heat Pipe” is as follows. It is believed that the following corrections will be beneficial for the strengthening of the article.

 

1.      The abstract section should be rearranged. In addition, the numerical results obtained as a result of the study should be given.

2.      The number of resources in the introduction is insufficient. In particular, studies of similar nature should be examined.

3.      The literature section remained weak. If there are more current literature studies, these should be examined in detail and added to the literature section. It is a suggestion for the literature part of the article to be more comprehensive. It may be useful to include relevant articles in 2020-2023 in references.

4.      In the last paragraph of the introduction, what was done in this study should be explained.

5.      The texts in the figures in the article should be edited. Figures should be made to look simpler and more elegant.

6.      The article contains many figures. It needs to be simplified a little more. Especially in the 2nd v 3rd section, explanations should be added rather than figures.

7.      The title of the 5th chapter should be the conclusion.

8.      A separate discussion section should be added to the article

9.      The authors should compare the results of their method with those of previous studies. Authors can do compare table (A new table can add about previous studies to result section.).

Reviewer 3 Report

This paper investigates using 3D Printing to fabricate Oscillating Heat Pipe. Totally speaking, this paper is well writing and interesting. The reviewer has the following minor concerns.

1. The title can be more specific with specific AM technique.

2. “which has led to the application of AM to construct designs that are difficult to achieve with traditional technologies.”. For this kind of statement, suggest including references, such as “A survey of additive manufacturing reviews, https://accscience.com/journal/MSAM/1/4/10.18063/msam.v1i4.21”; “Additive manufacturing technologies, Springer book”.

3. “Selected Laser Sintering (SLS), Selective Laser Melting (SLM), and Elec77 tron Beam Melting (EBM), each with its own advantages and disadvantages.”. For this statement, references are also necessary. Also, currently, this paper only has 16 references, should have more.

Thank you for the comments

Reviewer 2 Report

The article has no apparent improvements. As I mentioned in my previous review, there are other similar papers published, even in MDPI. In this context, I cannot suggest this manuscript for publication.
