Meso- and Micro-Scale Frontiers of Compact Heat Exchangers

  • Chapter
Applied Optical Measurements

Part of the book series: Heat and Mass Transfer ((HMT))

Abstract

By their very nature, compact heat exchangers allow an efficient use of material, volume and energy in thermal systems. These benefits have driven heat exchanger design toward higher compactness, and the trend toward ultra-compact designs will continue. Highly compact surfaces can be manufactured using micromachining and other modern technologies. In this paper, unresolved thermalhydraulic issues related to ultra-compact designs will be discussed and the status of the technologies required for the production of ultra-compact structured surfaces will be summarized.
