ABSTRACT:
A thermal management system (201) is provided herein which comprises a plurality of heat sources (203), a heat exchanger (205), a plurality of heat pipes (207) in thermal communication with said heat exchanger, and a synthetic jet actuator (211) adapted to direct a synthetic jet upon or across a surface of said heat exchanger.
