Abstract (en)

A heat exchange device includes a plurality of flow passages (110). Each flow passage has an inlet (120) and an outlet (122) configured for hot fluid flow in a direction from the inlet to the outlet. Secondary heat transfer elements (132) within and adjacent each flow passage have heat transfer characteristics varying in the direction of the hot fluid flow such that peak metal temperatures limit creep to acceptable values and such that transient thermal stresses are limited to values producing acceptable life of the device.
