About this position
This PhD scholarship at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Construct) is part of a collaboration between DTU and a private enterprise focused on experimental clearance flow research for ammonia and other sustainable marine fuels.
The project uses an in-house designed high-pressure clearance flow test rig that reproduces pressure and temperature conditions similar to those in a marine engine booster pump. The successful PhD student will continue development of the ammonia flow rig, run test campaigns on different ammonia pump components, and help build the theoretical and experimental foundation for ammonia-compatible sealing techniques.
A major part of the work is the generation and use of measured clearance flow data to develop and validate accurate flow models. The rig will also be modified so that different sealing solutions can be tested and evaluated under relevant operating conditions.
The research environment is embedded in DTU Civil and Mechanical Engineering, with a strong international setting and a focus on fluid mechanics, manufacturing engineering, engineering systems design, design for sustainability, and thermal energy. The position combines hands-on experimental work, instrumentation, modelling, and analysis in a technically advanced laboratory setting.
The supervisor contact listed for the position is Anders Ivarsson at DTU.

What's required
Applicants must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or an equivalent degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree. The candidate should have significant experience with safe handling of ammonia and other liquified gases in test setups, design and wiring of electronic data acquisition and control systems using PC Schematics, LabView programming, mechanical design and FEM analysis using Solid Works, data processing of large experimental dynamic flow and pressure datasets using statistical methods in Matlab, CMM measurement, preferably Calypso Software, and 3-dimensional analysis of complex geometric data sets from CMM measurements. The applicant may apply before obtaining the master's degree, but cannot start until it has been received.
