Research abstract
This proposal uses a novel architecture to build a heat exchanger that vehicle heat rejection by 5% while maintaining the same space claim and pressure drop as legacy systems. The novel design results in a substantial decrease in the pressure drop and an increase in thermal performance relative to state-of-the-art configurations. Conventional high volume component production methods will be combined with the highly scalable manufacturing process to yield cost effective volume production.
