| Abstract [eng] |
Global transport is gradually moving towards electric transport options, but maritime transport still needs to find alternatives for implementing sustainability measures in a timely fashion. Long-distance shipping also faces the impracticality of all-electric options. Given the marine sector's industrial importance and its significant contribution to global pollutant emissions, there is a pressing need to explore solutions for improving the eco-efficiency of intercontinental cargo ships. In order to reduce hydrodynamic resistance, there is a possibility of altering surface properties, thus reducing the usage of fossil fuels until an alternative fuel is proposed. This research investigates the thermal properties of magnesium hydride coatings to evaluate their suitability in facilitating hydrodynamic drag reduction. The tendency of hydrides to release hydrogen during water interaction suggests a potential contribution to facilitating the Leidenfrost effect. The samples prepared through the reactive magnetron sputtering technique underwent thermal analysis using a Netzsch STA 449 F3 Jupiter analyzer, complemented by Bruker Tensor 27 FTIR spectroscope. The surface characteristics were evaluated via an X-ray diffraction examination. The results of this study provided insights into the potential applications of magnesium hydride coatings as active surface materials. |
