Working toward a New Generation of Compact Heat Exchangers

Many years ago, when I chose thermal energy engineering as my major in undergraduate study, I had only a vague idea that it must be something important because thermal energy is needed everywhere. As my journey in the field continued, I not only confirmed the importance of this engineering discipline but also became familiar with the device that makes energy transport possible: heat exchangers. The key role that a heat exchanger plays in energy systems cannot be overstated. The application of a compact heat exchang..
