PhD Opportunity in Hydrogen/Ammonia Combustion for Gas Turbines at Université libre de Bruxelles Université libre de Bruxelles in Belgium

Université Libre de Bruxelles is recruiting 1 PhD researcher for the MSCA Doctoral Network DESIRE (Decarbonising Energy-intenSIve industries with REnewable synthetic fuels). The open position is DC14: H2/NH3 combustion in a reverse-flow, pressurized, rich-quench-lean combustor . The project focuses on sustainable fuels, combustion science, chemical kinetics, fluid dynamics, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and digital modeling for low-emission energy conversion. The research is based at Unive...

KU Leuven has launched a PhD vacancy within the FLEX-SMR project on dynamic modelling and control of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) for combined heat and power applications. The project aims to develop cost-optimal solutions for integrating SMRs into industrial energy systems, with a focus on operating SMRs alongside other energy assets such as electric boilers. The research will use a Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework to optimally balance electricity and heat production. This is a strong ...
