A heat pipe structure is used for cooling a heat source. The heat pipe structure includes a sleeve tube and a shaft. The sleeve tube includes an inner wall. The sleeve tube has a trench on the inner wall. The trench is at an outlet end of the sleeve tube. The trench extends in a circumferential direction of the sleeve tube. The shaft is connected to the heat source. The shaft is inserted into the sleeve tube from the outlet end such that the shaft is rotatable relative to the sleeve tube. The trench surrounds the shaft.

A heat exchanger includes a plurality of heat exchange tubes arranged into a first row of tubes and a second row of tubes. A fixed mount fixedly positions the first row of tubes, and a movable mount makes the second row of tubes movable between an aligned position in which tubes in the second row are aligned with tubes in the first row, creating a linear flow path for the fluid through the tubes, and a non-aligned position in which tubes in the second row are not aligned with tubes in the first row, creating a curvilinear flow path for the fluid through the plurality of tubes. Heat is exchanged between the first fluid and a second fluid passing through the plurality of heat exchange tubes. The heat exchanger may be employed as an HRSG in a combined cycle plant, among other applications.

A shell-and-tube heat exchanger and an air conditioning system. The shell-and-tube heat exchanger includes: a shell provided with a liquid inlet and an vapor outlet, the vapor outlet being disposed at an top portion of the shell; and a heat exchange tube bundle disposed in the shell in an axial direction of the shell; wherein the heat exchange tube bundle includes: a plurality of first heat exchange tubes located at an upper portion, the first heat exchange tubes having a first spacing therebetween; and a plurality of second heat exchange tubes located at a lower portion, the second heat exchange tubes having a second spacing therebetween; the first spacing is different from the second spacing.

The present application generally relates to a method and apparatus for providing an active heat exchanger with dynamic positioning to improve vehicle aerodynamics. More specifically, aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems, methods and devices for a vehicle fascia having multiple airflow openings, at least one of having an active shutter system and wherein the active heat exchanger is positioned to respond to closing of one or more of the airflow openings when active aerodynamics are deployed.

An apparatus and method for cooling a fluid within a turbine engine. A fan casing assembly for the turbine engine can include an annular fan casing with a peripheral wall having a flow path defined through the casing. A fan casing cooler includes a body to confront the peripheral wall with at least one conduit configured to carry a flow of heated fluid to convectively cool the heated fluid with a flow of air through the flow path.

Heat transfer devices, electronic devices, and methods for heat transfer with an external body. Heat transfer devices include a first disc, a second disc positioned adjacent to the first disc, and at least one spacer positioned between the first disc and the second disc. The first disc defines an aperture and comprises a pin cooling structure extending from around the aperture. The pin cooling structure comprises a distal end configured to facilitate heat exchange between the pin cooling structure and an external/adjacent/separate body and one or more side walls. At least one of the one or more side walls, the distal end, and the aperture at least partially define a pin volume. The second disc defines an inlet that is configured to (i) receive a fluid, and (ii) allow the fluid to flow from the inlet and into the pin volume.
