A microchannel device includes several mass transfer microchannels to
receive a fluid media for processing at least one heat transfer
microchannel in fluid communication with a heat transfer fluid defined by
a thermally conductive wall, and at several thermally conductive fins
each connected to the wall and extending therefrom to separate the mass
transfer microchannels from one another. In one form, the device may
optionally include another heat transfer microchannel and corresponding
wall that is positioned opposite the first wall and has the fins and the
mass transfer microchannels extending therebetween.
