Seminar 22 -- Innovative Design, Materials and Manufacturing Techniques for Heat/Mass Exchangers

This product is a PDF that contains links to files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker (recorded presentation), PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3) as noted.

Recent innovations in heat and mass transfer equipment result in continued improvement in the tradeoff between pumping power and heat transfer augmentation. However, such designs require advanced manufacturing techniques, such as additive manufacturing. The major limiting factors of the additive manufacturing are the low thermal conductivity of the metal used, feature size resolution of 150 micron or more, and build time. In this seminar, internationally renowned experts present their activities through CFD modeling, shape optimization, additive manufacturing of surfaces with disruptively high airside heat transfer coefficients with low pumping power penalties, and additively manufactured heat pipes.
