The Thermal resistance data are shown in Figure 14. It can be seen that when the liquid of 65 mL or more is drawn, thermal resistance goes up significantly. The test verifies the role of reservoir in maintaining thermal performance with liquid loss up to the reservoir size of 38 mL and 27 mL beyond that. Figure 14.

The reservoir presence in assembly and its impact on thermal performance was also

It can be seen that when the liquid of 65 mL or more is drawn, thermal resistance
goes up significantly. The test verifies the role of reservoir in maintaining thermal
