Researcher

• Nov 2020 - Sep 2022

As a part of the global, Horizon 2020-funded Geohex project, I have been researching how to optimize the heat transfer from brine to the working fluid in a geothermal plant. We use a custom rig (heat exchanger) to model the plant and are trying to find the optimal nano-coated plate to place between the two fluids.
