Fibonacci Optimized Radial Heat Exchanger (FIBONACCI OPTIMIZED RADIAL HEAT EXCHANGER)

摘要

A heat transfer device for transferring heat energy to or from a fluid or gas flowing radially through a plurality of posts or tubes includes a plate having a plate surface. The plurality of posts or tubes are disposed on the plate surface and project substantially vertically. At least about 50% of the plurality of posts or tubes are arranged according to the phyllotaxis layout. Each arc of the phyllotaxis spiral arcs of the leaflet arrangement ends at different locations along the arc radius on the plate at the phyllotaxis arc termination radius, which is smaller than the perimeter radius.
