... coefficients in heterogeneous and hierarchical heat transfer devices was outlined and implemented for the simple case of cross flow over staggered cylinders, which is commonly implemented in heat sinking and compact heat exchanger devices. Measurements obtained using this method allow for thermal-fluid...

...Robert J. Moffat; John K. Eaton; Andrew Onstad Metallic and graphitic open-cell foams are being used or proposed as extended surfaces (fins) in heat sinks for electronic cooling and compact heat exchangers for aircraft applications. Three parameters must be known to calculate the heat transfer...
