Four experimental master thesis students for projects on heat transfer at the R&D Fluid Dynamic Lab

A Snapshot of Your Day

You will be part of the Fluid Dynamic Lab team as Master Student. We are offering four positions that will experimentally investigate the effect of additively manufactured (AM) induced roughness on the heat transfer, pressure loss and flow field. In the fluid dynamics lab, four methods have been developed and verified that are suitable for these studies -the quasi Steady State Heat Transfer method (qSSHT), the quasi Steady State Heat Transfer Water method (qSSHTh2o), the Surface Roughness Heat Transfer method (SRHT) and the Particle Image Velocimetry method (PIV)

Two of the positions will be applying the qSSHT methods in different perspectives. The third positions will be using the existing SRHT-rig where enlarged AM-induced surface roughness is investigated in regards of Nusselt number distributions. The PIV-rig also uses upscaled AM surface roughness and studies the impact on the flow field close to the rough surface.

The projects are performed at our labs, and they are 7 months long with start in April to have enough time for you to introduce developments in the test methods and collect results to validate them.

How You’ll Make an Impact

The master thesis project is well structured, and you will have a well experienced and competent supervisor. The project plan usually follows the path where you will be responsible for:

• Literature review
• Test rig preparation for testing
• Perform testing
• Analysis of test results
• Apply changes on the test rig, test procedure or analysis to improve the results
• Final report/presentation writing

During the thesis you will acquire improved skills in dimensional analysis, data acquisition and mass flow/pressure/temperature measurements. Basic knowledge in additive manufacturing will be obtained. An assigned experienced supervisor will support you during the whole period. The goal of each of our Diploma Thesis’ is to create a work result that it might be worth publication and some examples of previous student projects from the lab can be found in the Journal of Turbomachinery, ASME Turbo Expo and International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer (TURBO-14-1171, GT2014-25619, GT2015-42475, GT2017-64143, GT2018-75019, DOI:10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2024.125532).

What You Bring

Your profile should show:

• Courses on:
  • gas fluid dynamics
  • dimensional similarity
  • numerical methods
• Knowledge in Matlab/Python.
• Fluency in English language are required both in speech and writing.
• It is appreciated if you have had laboratory testing experience

About the Team

The Measurement and Component Testing team is composed of highly experienced and knowledgeable test technology engineers and measurement technology engineers. We are around 20 team members, and we have for labs where we perform prototype design validation. We are part of the R&D department at Siemens Energy AB in Finspång and therefore our test measurements and methods are always evolving to meet new design validation demands and new technology developments. We are responsible for validation of both full engine prototypes as component prototyping.

Our Gas Services division offers Low-emission power generation through service and decarbonization. Zero or low emission power generation and all gas turbines under one roof, steam turbines and generators. Decarbonization opportunities through service offerings, modernization, and digitalization of the fleet.

We can offer you employment benefits such as: reduction of working hours, advance vacation, health care allowance and an eventual possibility to a flexible working place.
