A core body includes a structure having a plurality of connected unit cells. At least one unit cell has one or more sidewalls that are curved and define a portion of an inner passageway within and through the unit cell. The one or more sidewalls define multiple orifices and include a cone disposed between at least some of the orifices. A dimple is defined along an outer surface of the unit cell at the cone. The outer surface at least partially defines an outer passageway that is sealed from the inner passageway by the one or more sidewalls. The one or more sidewalls are configured to transport one or more of thermal energy from a first fluid or a component of the first fluid flowing in the inner passageway to a second fluid flowing in the outer passageway without the first fluid mixing with the second fluid.

The invention relates to a device, comprising at least one flow chamber (20′) having an inlet opening and an outlet opening, said flow chamber being provided for the flow of a medium therethrough. The flow chamber (20′) is arranged in a single-piece block element (2) and is at least partly delimited by a diathermal wall in order to effect absorption or release of thermal energy through the wall by means of the medium. The at least one flow chamber (20′) is formed in the block element (2) from a plurality of first channels (22) spaced apart from each other, which extend straight and parallel to each other, and a plurality of second channels (23) spaced apart from each other, which extend straight and parallel to each other, the first and the second channels (22, 23) each having two ends and being closed at least at one (27) of the two ends. The second channels (23) are arranged at an angle to the first channels (22), the first channels and the second channels thus crossing. Support pillars (21) having a parallelogram-shaped cross-section are present within each flow chamber (20′) between the crossing points of two adjacent first channels (22) and two adjacent second channels (23). A turbulent flow of the medium can be produced very effectively in the device according to the invention.

The present disclosure provides a technique related to a cooler including a main channel in which an object to be cooled is attached to an upper surface thereof, and a structure which prevents air bubbles from entering the main channel. A cooler for cooling an object may include: a main channel in which coolant flows, wherein the object is attached to an upper surface of the main channel; and a sub channel bypassing the main channel, wherein a ceiling of the sub channel is higher than a ceiling of the main channel at a branch point between the main channel and the sub channel. Air bubbles trapped in the coolant flow into the sub channel having a higher ceiling height, thus they do not enter the main channel.

Disclosed is a flow device including an inlet, an outlet, and a plurality of fluid flow paths hydraulically connected in parallel to the inlet and the outlet, wherein the plurality of fluid flow paths forms a first ring of fluid flow paths circumferentially arranged at a first radial distance from a centerline of the fluid flow device a second ring of fluid flow patch circumferentially arranged at a second radial distance from the centerline of the fluid flow device, each of the plurality of fluid flow paths has a first hydraulic resistance in a forward flow direction and a second hydraulic resistance in a reverse flow direction, and the second hydraulic resistance is greater than the first hydraulic resistance.
