Title:
Advanced defrosting/defogging technology development
Agreement Number:
1026036
Agreement Value:
$100,000.00
Agreement Date:
Dec 1, 2024 - Mar 24, 2025
Description:
Betterfrost will develop a thermal simulation model for fog formation and fog prevention. This simulation will be used on surfaces such as the interior glass used in vehicles and eVTOLs. Current models treat the glass as a boundary layer and ignore the detailed thermal transfer behavior inside of multi-layered, multi-material glass and the thermal transfer at multiple boundary layers between these layers and the outside / inside air flows. This simulation will be validated against climatic wind tunnel testing and help us reduce or eliminate the need for this type of testing which is very expensive at $2-10k per hour.
