Abstract:
This study assesses the performance and stability of GEIOS Technologies' proprietary ionic nanofluid, designed for medium to high-temperature geothermal applications. Engineered with boron nitride nanoparticles, proprietary surface modifiers, and quantum-optimized additives, the nanofluid underwent multi-scale testing across 160-230°C in closed-loop U-tube configurations (100mL, 1L, and 10L).
Results demonstrated exceptional quantum transport properties, leveraging phonon-mediated heat transfer and skyrmion-assisted thermal transport to enhance local heat transfer efficiency. Comparative analysis showed up to 60% reduction in parasitic loads versus conventional geothermal fluids, achieving optimal performance at low flow rates (0.5-0.8 m/s) with minimal pumping power. The nanofluid maintained a stable specific heat capacity of 1500 J/(kg·K) and 94% thermal retention efficiency over 1000-hour continuous operation. Scale-up tests confirmed consistent thermal ramp-up rates (26 °C/min) with minimal degradation over 12 thermal cycles.
Integration testing validated its effectiveness in binary cycle systems, significantly improving Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) efficiency by enabling higher operating temperatures. With quantum-enhanced thermal transport mechanisms and proven scalability, this nanofluid represents a breakthrough in geothermal energy extraction, offering greater efficiency with reduced energy consumption.
