Synthetic diamonds transfer heat better than metals.

OK, OK.

The flow-temp rise constant is 2.3 in Liters/sec and degrees C.

NOW you can design the heat exchanger for me!

Heck a central heating heat exchanger may be a bit on the large side, but certainly not enormous. This whole thing is 67 cm tall and 40 cm wide:

Delivers 28 kilowatt to hot tap water, and 23.5 kilowatt in heating water heated from 30 to 50 degrees. Flue gases are cooled below boiling to condense water vapour and get the heat from that.

That thing contains two heat exchangers (gas to heating water, and heating water to tap water), the circulation pump, gas valve, fan for combution air, and controller.

Reducting to chip size is left as an excercise...

CPU cooling is not such a big deal in other than single chip systems, For other systems RAM cooling in more important than CPU cooling.

Huh? Modern CPUs consume orders of magnitude more power than RAM chips.

But that's only because RAM only even consumes power at moron places like IBM Headquaters, Everywhere else it consumes 300.05 Tera-ergs per fotrnight squared.

Idiot.

You're obviously an AT&Tt Moron who just learned how to log into Xerox's Z files.

You haven't a clue but I'm not telling anyone anything that wasn't obvious.

This semiconductor design space was explored by the US military about
