Multi-fluid heat exchangers harness multi-stream configurations to achieve efficient thermal exchange among three or more fluid circuits. Benefits include compactness, enhanced interfacial area and ...

Given this design freedom, Qian set out to discover a design for the hot and cold fluid channels inside a heat exchanger that would maximize heat transfer. He harnessed his expertise in topology ...

However, not all innovations are equal and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

MADISON — By combining topology optimization and additive manufacturing, a team of University of Wisconsin–Madison engineers created a twisty high-temperature heat exchanger that outperformed a ...

And they used an innovative technique to 3D print—and test—the metal proof of concept. High-temperature heat exchangers are essential components in many technologies for dissipating heat, with ...
