A fantastic collaboration with the Energy Transport Laboratory of Prof. Solomon Adera at Univeristy of Michigan.
Article "Recently, micro/nanostructured oil-impregnated surfaces have been shown to significantly reduce biofouling, which decreases the overall heat exchange in heat exchangers operating in marine environments. By conducting field and laboratory studies supported by modeling, we report the synergistic benefits of micro/nanostructured oil-impregnated surfaces for reducing biofouling on heat exchanger tubes while maintaining good heat transfer."
