Thermal management system and method

An apparatus, comprising:

• an outer annular support member extending about an outer axis;
• an inner annular support member that is nested within the outer annular support member, the inner annular support member extending about an inner axis, the inner annular support member having a size that is less than a size of the outer annular support member;
• plural tubes connected with and radially extending between the outer annular support member and the inner annular support member, each of the plural tubes radially extending along a linear pathway from a first end operably coupled with the inner annular support member to a second end operably coupled with the outer annular support member, wherein:
• the first end of each of the plural tubes is axially offset from the second end along an axial direction of the inner axis
• the plural tubes comprise a first set of plural tubes and a second set of plural tubes, the first ends of the first plural tubes are axially aligned along a first plane, and the first ends of the second plural tubes are axially aligned along a second plane offset from the first plane;
• and
• the second ends of the first plural tubes and the second plural tubes are axially aligned along a third plane offset from the first plane and the second plane.

A thermal management system comprising:

• an inner annular support member extending about an axis, the inner annular support member including one or more surfaces defining a first interior cavity;
• an outer annular support member extending about the axis such that the inner annular support member and the outer annular support member are concentric, the inner annular support member being nested within the outer annular support member, the outer annular support member including one or more surfaces defining a second interior cavity;
• and
• plural tubes connected with and radially extending between the outer annular support member to the inner annular support member, each of the plural tubes including one or more surfaces defining interior passages of each of the plural tubes, wherein each of a first subset of the plural tubes radially extend along curved pathways in a clockwise direction from the inner annular support member to the outer annular support member, wherein each of a second subset of the plural tubes radially extend along curved pathways in a counterclockwise direction from the inner annular support member to the outer annular support member,
• wherein the first interior cavity is fluidly coupled with each of the interior passages and the second interior cavity, and
• wherein a first fluid is configured to be directed through the first interior cavity toward one or more of the interior passages, and through the one or more of the interior passages toward the second interior cavity.
