STTR Phase II: Low-Cost Nanoparticles for Enhanced Heat Transfer

该STTR二期项目旨在开发用于强化传热的铜纳米流体并将其商业化。开发的低成本纳米颗粒生产方法将为这一应用生产高质量的纳米颗粒。该STTR项目的成功将使强化传热的广泛应用受益，包括：电子、暖通空调、交通运输、纺织和造纸制造以及能源生产系统。该项目还将通过为里诺内华达大学的招生、研究和培训以及课程设计提供机会，从而产生教育影响。

This STTR Phase II project is to develop and commercialize copper nanofluids for heat transfer enhancement applications. The low cost nanoparticle production methods developed will produce quality nanoparticles for this application.Success of this STTR project will benefit a wide range of applications for heat transfer enhancement including: electronics, HVAC, transportation, textile and paper manufacturing, and energy production systems. The project will also provide educational impact by offering opportunities for student recruitment, research and training, and curricula design at the University of Nevada, Reno.
