Hydrogel Coating Formulations for Optimized Heat Transfer and Efficiency

Authors- Boopathi A, Dr.S. Prasanna

Abstract-– This project introduces a novel hydrogel-based coating system engineered to enhance surface protection and operational efficiency across diverse industrial applications. Leveraging the unique properties of hydrogels-such as high-water retention, thermal stability, and environmental responsiveness-the proposed coating addresses persistent industrial challenges including limescale accumulation, inefficient heat transfer, and elevated carbon emissions. By reducing maintenance frequency and chemical usage, the system offers a sustainable alternative to conventional coatings. The architecture comprises five core modules, with the Coating Estimation Module calculating optimal application parameters based on surface area and environmental conditions. Experimental data is iteratively fed into subsequent processes for refinement. Centralized control is managed by the Admin Module, which oversees system operations and securely distributes cryptographic keys. To safeguard sensitive data, Blowfish encryption is integrated for secure handling of coating parameters and test results. The use of Blowfish-an efficient symmetric-key block cipher—ensures robust data protection without compromising system performance.
