Cf. the human circulatory system, though cooling isn't its primary function
(but is a very important secondary one).

Constructal lawtheory says that optimum cooling is probably fractalchannels,
starting withlarge channels that divide into multiple smallerchannels and so on
until youget down to the boundary layer thickness ofthe fluid and then going
back againthe other way.Doing that has lower pressure drop, so you can get
better flowfor anygiven surface area; and you want high surface area, and it
has *very*highsurface area. Of course you have to have the *right* scaling
factor inyourfractal to give good performance.
