Project Title: Next Generation Heat Exchangers

Principle Investigator(s): Reinhard Radermacher, Shapour Azarm (Mechanical Engineering)

Abstract: Based on a brainstorming session with sponsors and using multiscale multidisciplinary modeling techniques including CFD and FEM as well as DOE and meta-modeling approaches and optimization routines, we are searching systematically for heat exchanger geometries that have the potential to be significantly more compact than current micro channel heat exchanger technology.
