3D Printing Heat Exchangers (Air/liquid)
IRstuff: Yes, we need to study how the relative roughness affects heat transfer. Some machines create surprisingly smooth surfaces, and hydrophobic surfaces are even possible. tys90: We were considering computer cooling and refrigeration as possible applications. Acetone vapor baths, very...- kripley

3D Printing Heat Exchangers (Air/liquid)
I am working on a project this summer at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and I am trying to design a heat exchanger that can be made with additive manufacturing methods. We think there would be many advantages, such as reduced cost, fewer limits on geometry, fitting in tight spaces, quicker...- kripley
