Cavitation is an ever-present issue in the maritime and pumps industries. It causes damage to the propeller/impeller in the form of erosion, reducing hydrodynamic performance and increasing the underwater radiated noise (URN) level generated. Therefore, containing cavitation is an important research area in order to reduce structural damage, efficiency loss and noise pollution. The leading-edge…

Can nanofluids increase the performance of ORC systems? Is it possible to extract additional heat thanks to innovative nanoparticles? In collaboration with dr. Peter McGrail of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory we have experimentally determined the behaviour of the nanoparticle MIL101, a robust Metal Organic Heat Carrier, combined with the working fluid R245fa. The resulting semi-empirical…
