The announced position is a unique chance to join one of Sweden's most active research environments situated at the Future Energy Center of Excellence (FEC). The position belongs to the FEC research track "Smarter Modelling, Optimization and Management" led by Prof. Konstantinos Kyprianidis.
Position description
The work is part of the research activities conducted under the 9.5MSEK Digi-Boil project funded by the Swedish Knowledge Foundation. The Digi-Boil project brings together three partners, ABB, Westinghouse Electric Sweden AB, and Mälardalen University (MDH), in a joint effort to substantially enhance the capability for simulation and experimental validation in relation to heat transfer. The objective of the project is to develop computational models that will enable the prediction of boiling heat transfer in complex energy systems and improve the understanding of the underlying physical phenomena. This in turn will reduce the energy consumption and the overall negative impact on the environment. The developed models will be used to build a simulation system where complex and large applications can be addressed.
The position involves working in close contact and collaboration with the aforementioned partner organizations. The successful candidate is therefore expected to interact effectively with all project stakeholders. The main part of the PhD student's working time is devoted to his/her own research studies. The PhD work will deal with the development of a new CFD-based tool and models for prediction of boiling heat transfer in narrow channels. The method will provide accurate heat transfer characteristics, including the wall temperature and the vapor fraction, during fully developed boiling in such channels. For such purposes the most efficient development path is based on computational tools which are flexible and allow the inclusion of models of the governing phenomena, such as the open source CFD code OpenFoam. The 3D tool obtained in this project will be used to develop a hybrid 1D and 3D simulation system, using e.g. OpenModelica and OpenFoam, to address the thermal management design and prediction issues for large and complex industrial installations.
The PhD student is expected to take initiatives, develop own ideas and work independently when needed, as well as take responsibility for the work. Furthermore, the project interacts closely with other parallel PhD projects and industrial partners. Thus the applicant needs to have high collaborative skills. The PhD student needs to be able to disseminate and communicate scientific results and knowledge orally as well as in written form within existing and new networks. This includes academia, industry and society at large. The research results will be presented at project meetings, conferences and in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
In addition to research studies, the position may include departmental work, mostly teaching duties, as well as time spent at the industrial partners' facilities. The PhD student will be employed by MDH and will receive a salary according to current salary agreements. Employment is limited and equivalent to full-time studies at the graduate level for up to 4 years, which would translate to up to 5 years for an 80% research / 20% departmental work split.
Qualifications
Only those who are or have been admitted to third-cycle courses and study programmes at a higher education may be appointed to doctoral studentships. For futher information see Chapter 5 of the Higher Education Ordinance (SFS 1993:100).
Employment as a doctoral student requires admittance to a graduate (research) program within a Swedish university. Reference is made to the Higher Education Ordinance Chapter 5 (SFS 1993: 100). To be accepted to the graduate (research) program in Energy and Environmental Engineering the student should have one of the following:
• Completed a Master's degree corresponding to at least 240 higher education credits in Mechanical Engineering, Energy Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or engineering physics.
• Completed a four-year science education with technical content equivalent to a Master's degree within the above subjects.
The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English.
