Abstract:
Disclosed is a technology based upon the nesting of tubes to provide chemical reactors or chemical reactors with built in heat exchanger. As a chemical reactor, the technology provides the ability to manage the temperature within a process flow for improved performance, control the location of reactions for corrosion control, or implement multiple process steps within the same piece of equipment. As a chemical reactor with built in heat exchanger, the technology can provide large surface areas per unit volume and large heat transfer coefficients. The technology can recover the thermal energy from the product flow to heat the reactant flow to the reactant temperature, significantly reducing the energy needs for accomplishment of a process.

Claim (Index 11):
The heat exchanger of  claim 2 , further comprising:\n a fourth tube, a fifth tube, a sixth tube, a seventh tube, an eighth tube, wherein:\n the fourth tube, the fifth tube, the sixth tube, the seventh tube, and the eighth tube are coaxial about the longitudinal axis, \n the third tube and the fourth tube define a fourth flow path, \n the fourth tube and the fifth tube define a fifth flow path, \n the fifth tube and the sixth tube define a sixth flow path, \n the sixth tube and the seventh tube define a seventh flow path, \n the seventh tube and the eighth tube define an eighth flow path, and \n the fourth flow path, the fifth flow path, the sixth flow path, the seventh flow path, and the eighth flow path are annular flow paths, and \n the manifold assembly comprises eight plates, with each plate of the eight plates contacting a different tube.
