Original Abstract Submitted
A heat transfer device, such as a heat exchanger, has dimensions and flow speed such that Reynolds number for the flow is in a range from 1 to 1000. The device uses a working fluid which is in a state of elastic turbulence. This enhances transfer of heat to or from the working fluid. In some embodiments the fluid is an emulsion with a disperse phase which changes between liquid and solid so that its latent heat of fusion contributes to the amount of heat carried by the working fluid.
