- •
A microchannel heat exchanger with two heat sinks was designed for cooling CNG.
- •
An extrapolation method for pressure drop gave significant computational savings.
- •
Pin structures in the design provided even flow distribution into microchannels.
- •
A symmetry method used for heat transfer greatly reduced the computational load.
