A nonlinear coolant tube adapted for use in a heat exchanger core that is configured to port a hot fluid therethrough and a cold fluid therethrough while maintaining isolation of the hot fluid from the cold fluid, and including a hot circuit defining a hot circuit inlet, a hot circuit outlet, a first edge, and a second edge, the first edge distal the second edge, the first edge proximate the hot circuit inlet and the second edge proximate the hot circuit outlet. The nonlinear coolant tube is configured to provide a non-uniform heat transfer profile between the hot fluid and the cold fluid from the first edge to the second edge, such that a thermal resistance of the nonlinear coolant tube near the first edge is greater than the thermal resistance of the nonlinear coolant tube near the second edge.

An active vortex generator adapts to a flow rate of fluid through and/or a heat flux applied through a heat exchanger channel to improve the heat transfer rate of the heat exchanger. In some implementations, the movement of the active vortex generator may be induced by the fluid flow through the heat exchanger channel. In some implementations, the movement of the active vortex generator may be induced through an externally applied force on the active vortex generator. An actuated active vortex generator is particularly suited to heat exchangers with high heat flux dissipation requirements. Locating an actuated active vortex generator proximate to such high heat flux dissipation locations provides for improved heat transfer that can be activated when needed, such as upon operation of a high heat flux component.

A thermal management system for a gas turbine engine includes an additively manufactured nacelle component, at least a portion of the additively manufactured nacelle component forming an additively manufactured heat exchanger that extends into a fan bypass flow.

A heat dissipation structure includes a housing. The housing has a bottom surface, a liquid inlet channel, a liquid outlet channel and a protruding portion. The liquid inlet channel and the liquid outlet channel are located at two opposite ends of the housing and above the bottom surface. The liquid inlet channel and the liquid outlet channel extend along a first direction. The protruding portion is located between the liquid inlet channel and the liquid outlet channel and above the bottom surface. The protruding portion protrudes towards a direction away from the bottom surface. The protruding portion has a protruding surface facing away from the bottom surface. A distance between the protruding surface and the bottom surface is increased first and then decreased along the first direction.
