Microstructure Heat Exchanger Applications in Laboratory and Industry

In this article, heat transfer in microstructure devices and its application in laboratory and industry will be described. Basic principles of microstructure heat exchangers made of metal, ceramics, and polymers will be presented. A variety of laboratory prototype applications will be shown, as well as some examples for industrial use of not only microstructure heat exchangers, but also microstructure devices as chemical reactors. A brief outlook will describe possible future application fields.
