STTR Phase II: Optimized Nano-Porous Surfaces for Boiling Heat Transfer

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。这项小型企业技术转移研究（STTR）第二阶段项目旨在开发和商业化一种优化技术，利用廉价的电化学工艺生产耐用的纳米多孔表面（NPS），用于传热应用。该技术将对高效锅炉、热交换器和电子冷却装置的开发非常有益。该项目的更广泛影响/商业潜力将是加强锅炉，热交换器和电子冷却设备，服务于各种行业，如电力/公用事业，石油和天然气，化工，食品和饮料，以及建筑和建筑。这个项目的额外好处将是它在高效传热方面的潜在应用，以增加能源输出，减少能源消耗和温室气体，减少化石燃料的消耗和减少有害污染。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) Phase II project seeks to develop and commercialize an optimized technique to produce durable nano-porous surfaces (NPS) for heat transfer applications using an inexpensive electrochemical process. This technology will be very beneficial for the development of high-efficiency boilers, heat exchangers and electronic cooling devices. The broader impact/commercial potential of this project will be the enhancement to boilers, heat exchangers, and electronic cooling devices that serve various industries, such as, power/utility, oil and gas, chemical, food and beverage, and building and construction. Additional benefit from the this project will be its potential application in efficient heat transfer to increase energy output, reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gases, consume less fossil fuels and reduce harmful pollution.
