MANIFESTS Genius: study of the HNS evaporation process
3 June 2024
On 3 June, Cedre began a series of tests in its wind tunnel, which are scheduled to run until the end of July. This tunnel was developed as part of the European MANIFESTS project (2021-2023) and will be used to characterise the impact of wind speed on the evaporation kinetics of HNS.
Compared with the tests carried out during MANIFESTS, which focused on the evaporation of pure HNS, these tests involve the evaporation of HNS at the sea surface.
The products studied include volatile HNS (cyclohexane, butyl acetate, etc.) as well as new propulsion fuels such as methanol.
The experimental data obtained will be used to improve existing models for predicting slick evaporation.
