Abstract: A heat sink with a primary flow volume, an inlet, an outlet, a bottom plate, a top plate, distribution, heat transfer and collector sections, and flow paths between pillars. The inlet cross-section defines the primary flow volume cross-section and the length of the primary flow volume extends into the heat sink at a right angle to the inlet cross-section. The distribution section is proximate to the flow inlet and has distribution pillars extending from the bottom or top plate. The heat transfer section is proximate to the distribution section and has heat transfer pillars extending from the bottom or top plate. The collector section is proximate to the heat transfer section and has collector pillars extending from the bottom or top plate. The distribution cross-section is greater than the heat transfer cross-section which is smaller than the collector cross-section. The flow paths extend outside of the primary flow volume.

Abstract: Cooling systems include a cold sink having a number of heat load cooling paths and a heat load associated with each cooling path. An inlet is configured to supply a cooling fluid into the cold sink and an outlet is configured to receive the cooling fluid after passing through the plurality of heat load cooling paths of the cold sink. A pressure regulating element is arranged along each cooling path, each pressure regulating element arranged between the inlet and the heat load along each cooling path and configured to cause a pressure drop in the cooling fluid prior to passing the cooling fluid to each heat load. The pressure drop caused by each pressure regulating element is the same and is a pressure drop greater than a maximum pressure drop across each heat load of a system without such pressure regulating elements.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a heat exchanger core from glass ceramic matrix composite includes placing one or more reinforcing fibers around one or more mandrels into a mold cavity. A glass matrix material infiltrates the one or more reinforcing fibers to produce an infiltrated core and the one or more mandrels is removed to create one or more passages passing through the infiltrated core.

Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a heat exchanger body having a first end and a second end opposed to the first end along a flow axis. A plurality of flow channels is defined in the heat exchanger body extending axially with respect to the flow axis. A first set of the flow channels forms a first flow circuit and a second set of the flow channels forms a second flow circuit that is in fluid isolation from the first flow circuit. Each flow channel is fluidly isolated from the other flow channels. The flow channels all conform to a curvilinear profile.

Abstract: Aircraft fuel system including a fuel vessel containing a non-mixture fuel. A protective vessel is arranged about the fuel vessel such that the fuel vessel is contained within the protective vessel and a protective space is defined between an outer surface of a vessel wall of the fuel vessel and an inner surface of a vessel wall of the protective vessel. At least one mounting structure fixedly positions the fuel vessel within the protective vessel. A fuel consumption device configured to consume the non-mixture fuel. A fuel output fluidly connects an interior of the fuel vessel to the fuel consumption device, the fuel output being fluidly isolated from the protective space. A relief output fluidly connects the protective space to a relief flow path, the relief output and relief flow path configured to vent gas from the protective space and remove any non-mixture fuel from the protective space.
