Design and development of three test facilities to evaluate heat transfer performances of advanced and low cost materials and coatings for geothermal application

Geothermal energy is accredited as a flexible, controllable and green source of energy. Heat exchangers (HXs) are one of the most critical components of a geothermal power plant due to corrosion and scaling phenomena. Hence, improvements in the antiscaling and anticorrosion properties as well as hea...
