PhD: Ammonia Clearance-Flow Research for Marine Engines

Technical University of Denmark; Kongens Lyngby; Presencial; DKK 301.000 - 357.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

The PhD candidate will join a collaboration between a private enterprise and DTU Construct to perform experimental clearance flow research with ammonia and sustainable marine fuels on an in-house test rig. The project will explore pressure and temperature regimes similar to a marine engine booster pump, using measured data to build and validate flow models.

Responsibilities include conducting test campaigns, developing both theoretical and experimental foundations for ammonia-compatible sealing

Formación

• Demonstrated ability to design and interpret high-pressure ammonia flow experiments.
• Experience with data processing of large experimental data sets.

Responsabilidades

• Continue development of high-pressure ammonia flow rig.
• Conduct test campaigns with different ammonia pump components.
• Develop theoretical and experimental foundations for ammonia sealing techniques.
• Safe handling of ammonia and liquified gases in test setups.
• Design and wiring of electronic data acquisition and control systems.
• LabView programming for data acquisition.
• Mechanical design and FEM analysis using SolidWorks.
• Data processing of large data sets using Matlab.
• CMM measurement and Calypso software experience is advantageous.
