System, method, and apparatus for pulsed-jet-enhanced heat exchanger

A pulsed-jet active flowfield control actuation system enhances the rate of heat transfer and heat removal in a heat exchanger for better management of thermal loads. The pulsed-jet actuators (43) impart an unsteady component of velocity to the working fluid of the heat exchanger (25). This design i...

Zusammenfassung:A pulsed-jet active flowfield control actuation system enhances the rate of heat transfer and heat removal in a heat exchanger for better management of thermal loads. The pulsed-jet actuators (43) impart an unsteady component of velocity to the working fluid of the heat exchanger (25). This design increases the convective heat transfer, and avoids increases in heat exchanger volume and weight for a given performance value.
