DTU Construct offers the best possible training for you to become a mature top-level researcher on advanced turbomachinery, giving you excellent career opportunities. You will become part of a leading international research team and have the chance to conduct ground-breaking research.
If you are establishing your career as scientist and you are looking for the best possible foundation for fulfilling your dreams and ambitions, this is your chance. We offer the best possible training for you to become a mature top-level researcher giving you excellent career opportunities both in academia and industry. As part of a recently started MSCA-DN (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, Doctoral Network) project funded by the EU on two-phase flow in turbomachinery entitled “Training42Phase”, Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark (DTU Construct) currently has four openings for PhD positions with focus on aero-thermodynamics. The other project partners recruiting PhD students are Politecnico di Milano, Italy (two PhD positions with focus on aero-thermodynamics), CentraleSupélec, France (three PhD positions with focus on reliability and maintenance), Imperial College of Science Technology and Medicine, UK (two PhD positions with focus on structural mechanics), and Exergy International Srl, Italy (one PhD position with focus on aero-thermodynamics). The project also includes other industrial partners from large international companies and SMEs.
The green transition of energy systems requires the implementation of a number of novel emerging energy conversion technologies based on turbomachinery with two-phase flow. However, the current level of knowledge and understanding of two-phase flow in turbomachinery is at a very low level, urgently calling for the need of education of scientists that can support the development of such technologies. The aim of Training42Phase is to educate the future leading scientists within turbomachinery with two-phase flow, thereby providing the scientific and technological basis required for the development of the next generation of turbomachinery. Within this project you will get the chance to break new ground at the absolute forefront of what is possible. You may read more about the Training42Phase project here
.
Responsibilities and qualifications
Each of the four PhD students at DTU Construct will focus on one of the following topics: (i) Numerical and experimental analysis of turbo-expanders for partial evaporation organic Rankine cycles; (ii) Modelling of two-phase turbo-expanders for organic Rankine cycle based small-scale multi-generation systems for geothermal applications; (iii) Modelling of two-phase cryogenic turbo-expanders for liquid air energy storage systems; and (iv) Robust design of centrifugal compressors for supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycle systems. These projects will be carried out in close cooperation with the other PhD projects within the project, supported by the industrial partners.
If you have a passion for research and a mechanical engineering background with knowledge about turbomachinery design and thermal sciences, you may be the person we are looking for. You will become part of a leading international research team, and together with colleagues, you will get the opportunity to conduct ground-breaking research within the field of two-phase turbomachinery. The results of your research will contribute to expand the use of renewable energy sources, reducing carbon dioxide emissions and mitigating climate change.
Responsibilities:
- Identify the mechanisms that deteriorate the turbomachinery isentropic efficiency due to the presence of droplets.
- Analyse flashing flows in nozzles.
- Develop mean-line models for two-phase flow in turbomachinery considering non-equilibrium effects.
- Develop high-fidelity modelling methods for two-phase flow in turbomachinery considering non-equilibrium effects.
- Validate the numerical models using experimental data.
- Evaluate the performance of the two-phase turbomachinery on the application.
- Contribute to the teaching activities at the department, for example by supervising MSc or BSc thesis students.
Qualifications:
- You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.
Furthermore, note that the MSCA-DN mobility clause applies; the applicant must not have resided or carried out his/her main activity (work, studies, etc.) in Denmark for more than 12 months in the 36 months immediately before the date of recruitment
. Compulsory national service, short stays such as holidays, and time spent as part of a procedure for obtaining refugee status under the Geneva Convention1 are not taken into account.
Approval and Enrolment
The scholarship for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval, and the candidate will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes at DTU. For information about our enrolment requirements and the general planning of the PhD study programme, please see DTU's rules for the PhD education
