Abstract:

A method of transferring heat from a warmer stream of gas to a cooler stream of gas comprises flowing the warmer stream of gas through a heat exchanger in a manner such that the warmer stream of gas converges as the warmer stream of gas flows through the heat exchanger. The method further comprises flowing the cooler stream of gas through the heat exchanger in a manner such that the cooler stream of gas diverges as the cooler stream of gas flows through the heat exchanger. Another method comprises forming a heat exchanger by solid state welding a plurality of laminate members to each other. The heat exchanger may be a heatsink. The heat exchanger may also condense gas into a liquid.
