The Advanced Heat Exchanger Process Intensification Consortia (AHXPI) was established in 1993 with four founding members. It has since grown to more than 15 members, including industry, research institutions, and government agencies. Our industrial members represent companies in the thermal management, environmental control, aerospace, energy/energy conversion, process, petrochemical, and refrigeration industries. Our involvement with both passive and active heat/mass transfer augmentation, thermo-mechanical optimization, and advanced manufacturing techniques for the past nearly twenty years has resulted in a team of faculty members, graduate students, and research engineers and scientists with diverse expertise in both experimental and analytical/computation research in the fields of interest of our sponsors. The consortia research activities have established the technical know-how and the knowledge base critical to successful implementation of emerging technologies in practical applications. The AHXPI group in recent years has introduced innovative design/optimization, manufacturing, and implementation of thermal management systems in both single-phase and phase-change regimes with heat transfer coefficients an order of magnitude higher than state of the art, and pressure drops below that of the state of the art systems. In the mass transfer area our projects have included work on separation and purification of gas and liquid flows, polymerization, and various reaction engineering based applications. Our mass transfer coefficients are nearly four orders of magnitude higher than state of the art. Our approach has focused on use of micro fluidics and micro-structured surfaces that can realize precise flow delivery and enhanced transport phenomena.
