How Does Nanotechnology Contribute to Lower Pressure Drop?
Nanotechnology offers several innovative solutions to achieve lower pressure drop:
1. Nanostructured Materials: The use of nanostructured materials can significantly reduce surface roughness, leading to smoother fluid flow and, consequently, lower pressure drop. 2. Nanocoatings: Applying nanocoatings on surfaces can enhance their hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity, depending on the application, thus reducing friction and facilitating smoother fluid flow. 3. Nanochannels: Designing nanochannels with optimized geometries can help in minimizing turbulence and resistance, leading to a lower pressure drop.
