Abstract
A monolithic core for a heat exchanger comprises a plurality of three-dimensional unit cells arranged along three orthogonal axes of the core, the three orthogonal axes comprising a first axis, a second axis, and a third axis. Each of the plurality of unit cells has a first dimension comprising an axial extent along the first axis, a second dimension comprising an axial extent along the second axis, and a third dimension comprising an axial extent along the third axis. For at least one unit cell of the plurality of unit cells, the first dimension is not equal to the second dimension.
