PhD position within the topic of “Modelling of thermo-hydraulic phenomena in small diameter channels with mixed refrigerants”

Melding til: IVT Fakultetsadministrasjon
Nettopp: Ledige stillinger

A PhD research scholarship for the project “Modelling of thermo-hydraulic phenomena in small diameter channels with mixed refrigerants” is available at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Division of Fluid Mechanics, Department of Energy and Process Engineering, Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology.

The objective of the current project is to develop and apply new heat transfer models for the prediction of heat transfer and two-phase flow characteristics in small diameter channel refrigeration systems involving mixture refrigerants. The multiscale nature of the multicomponent thermo-hydraulic problem will be tackled with diffuse interface methods to simulate mesoscale effects and non-local continuum theory to describe the macro¬microscale phenomena. This model should be able to predict the variation in the heat transfer capabilities with composition, and also with respect to single component refrigerants behavior. Complementary experimental work could also be considered.

The PhD candidate is expected to hold a master’s level degree in a subject relevant for the PhD project and to have a good combination of knowledge and skills in the following areas:

• good knowledge of fluid dynamics / fluid physics

• good know ledge of heat transfer and thermodynamics

• mathematical modeling and numerical methods

• scientific computing and programming Some acquaintance with multiphase flow, multi scale methods, microdevices and experimental work will be useful.

Further information about the position may be obtained from Associate Professor Maria Fernandino (maria.fernandino@ntnu.no) or Associate Professor Carlos A. Dorao (carlos.dorao@ntnu.no).

An application inclusive CV, grade transcripts and other enclosures should be sent electronically through http://www.jobbnorge.no, ref.no. IVT-63/09. Preferably, we want the attachments in one file. Application deadline: July 6th, 2009.
