Compact and Micro-heat Exchangers

The objectives of this chapter are to enlighten the reader with the current status of compact and micro-sized heat exchangers. Heat exchangers of these types were among the first process sector unit operations to be intensified, and many chemical reactors are based upon their structural features. A good knowledge of available heat exchanger concepts is a useful precursor to the introduction of more complex and combined unit operations based upon such compact heat exchangers. Out with the process sector, the challenges to heat transfer in the aerospace and electronics areas have also greatly encouraged the development of such heat exchangers.
