JOB DESCRIPTION
Nanyang Technological University (NTU, www.ntu.edu.sg ) is looking for a PhD candidate in Thermal Energy Storage for Low Grade Waste Heat Recovery. The project will be carried out in collaboration with the PROMES laboratory of the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) at the University of Perpignan (http://www.univ-perp.fr). NTU is inviting suitably qualified candidates to apply for this position. The PhD candidate will be supervised by Profs Alessandro ROMAGNOLI and Xavier PY. The candidate will conduct research that includes study on formulation and characterization of sensible, latent heat or thermo-chemical storage materials for waste heat recovery, simulation and experimental analysis for system level implementation.
More in detail, the successful candidate will focus on:
- Assessment of current WHR systems
- Formulation and characterization of materials for thermal storage
- Heat and fluid flow analysis of thermal energy storage charge/discharge cycle
- System level analysis and experiment
The successful candidate will be conducting his research between NTU and CNRS. This will offer opportunity for travelling and gain experience in different research environment. A generous monthly stipend aligned with university standards will be provided for a period of 4 years.
