The DTU Mechanical Engineering covers the engineering disciplines connected to the application of structural and solid mechanics, fluid and hydrodynamics, morphodynamics, basic thermodynamics, materials and surface engineering for the analysis, design, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical products, systems and large structures and plants.
The candidate shall work in the Thermal Energy section together with the Internal Combustion Engine Group (ICEG). The PhD project is a part of an international research project called RADIADE, that is a collaboration between DTU-Mecahnical Engineering, MAN Diesel & Turbo, DTU-Chemical Engineering, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Sandia National Laboratories and Politecnico di Milano and is funded by the Danish Council for Strategic Research. The purpose of RADIADE is to develop a radiation heat transfer model for CFD models of large marine diesel engines in order to improve prediction of locale temperatures and NOx formation.
The purpose of the PhD project is to provide and exploit experimental data on various laboratory flames, suitable for validation and calibration of combustion, soot formation and radiation sub models. The candidate will have to improve and adapt the burner setup and measurement techniques for the current application. She/he will have to carry out the treatment of data from mainly optical measurements and work on modeling of the laboratory flames in collaboration with the other members of the research team.
Project start is January 1, 2013.
Qualifications
The candidate should have a master's degree in engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master's degree in engineering. Furthermore the candidate should have:
