This report describes results of laboratory experiments conducted to determine the influence of fouling biofilm formation on heat transfer resistance and fluid frictional resistance. The research is directed at problems of power generation on ship board. Attention has been focused on the rate of biofouling and the influence of environmental and engineering variables on this rate. Results are also reported on preliminary experiments concerned with microbially-mediated corrosion of alloys relevant to Navy application (Cu-Ni and Ti). The combined impact of microbial fouling and corrosion poses significant shipboard problems.
