Abstract:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate, the first substrate having a face in contact with a coolant and another face in contact with at least one hot medium; the second substrate comprising a bimaterial having an upper layer in contact with at least one cold medium and having a lower layer in contact with the coolant; the faces of the first substrate and the lower layer of the second substrate in contact with the coolant are opposing each other; and the material of upper layer having a higher linear thermal expansion coefficient than that of the material of the lower layer so that the second substrate bends outward relative to the first substrate allowing for more coolant to flow under very high operating thermal conditions.
