The Micro-FloTec project team gathered for the Month24 consortium meeting at Sabanci University.
The Sabancı University team consisting of Prof. Ali Koşar, Dr. Ali Sadaghiani, Dr. Omid Moradi, Dr. Gul Kozalak, Rabia Mercimek, Beyzanur Özoğul, Cansu Yılmaz, Tuğçe Akkaş, and Özge Şahin had a great pleasure to organize the event and host the Micro-FloTec project team.
Over two productive days, the progress of the last six months was reviewed, the challenges were discussed and the upcoming activities for the months ahead were planned. The team also visited the Sabancı University IMC - Integrated Manufacturing Technologies Research and Application Center and Sabancı University Nanotechnology and Application Center.
'Micro-FloTec: Microscale Enabled Advanced Flow And Heat Transfer Technologies Featuring High Performance And Low Power Consumption’ project is a project funded by the European Union’s Horizon MSCA Staff Exchange programme. It adapts an international, multidisciplinary, and collaborative approach to exchange expertise from 17 research institutions and two industrial partners to trigger significant advancements and agile development for heat transfer and thermal management solutions. Sabancı Univesity is the coordinator of this project.
The consortium shares robust experience and skills related to heat transfer enhancement, large-scale electrical energy storage via thermal processes, new generation materials science, multi-phase flow, flow and heat transfer of high-temperature rotating parts, design and modelling for energy-efficient control systems, marketing and entrepreneurship skills, amongst others. The aim is to tackle problems within morphological optimization of multiphase heat transfer performance and flow resistance reduction, surface modification techniques, and application of multi-phase physics for performance prompting. The project will hopefully achieve cost-effective and sustainable solutions, initiate future advancements and investigations, and contribute towards the EU's 2050 long-term strategy for climate and energy saving goals.
