Abstract
A carbon nanotube heat-exchange system () and method for producing the same. One embodiment of the carbon nanotube heat-exchange system () comprises a microchannel structure () having an inlet end () and an outlet end (), the inlet end () providing a cooling fluid into the microchannel structure () and the outlet end () discharging the cooling fluid from the microchannel structure (). At least one flow path () is defined in the microchannel structure (), fluidically connecting the inlet end () to the outlet end () of the microchannel structure (). A carbon nanotube structure () is provided in thermal contact with the microchannel structure (), the carbon nanotube structure () receiving heat from the cooling fluid in the microchannel structure () and dissipating the heat into an external medium ().
