Ahh, well that's maybe a little bit better than I thought

My concern with the stacked plates is the possible lack of lateral heat spread from plate to plate.
The same concern I have.. I'm especially worried about the heat transfer capability of silver-solder as I'm not sure what it's made of (apart from a small part of silver) If the heat transfer is good, i think I have a solution for that problem.

The design is sound, but getting it to perform requires a little more effort than simply slapping some plates together.
Hehe, oh yes.. I'm well aware of that, and that's much of the reason I tried the idea in theory here first.

About your nozzle, if you could vacuum-mold (or whatever it's called) the top with plastic resin you could probably achieve a better flow by narrowing the inlet gradually. To see what i mean, take a hose, squeeze it flat about an inch from one end and voila, you have a circle -> slit adapter.. On the other hand you get excellent results from your block as it is right now
