PhD on experimental investigation of flash-back in laminar hydrogen flames
PhD on experimental investigation of flash-back in laminar hydrogen flames
Job description
The Power and Flow group focuses on clean and efficient process technology, to cater for fast-growing energy demands. Our mission is to perform world-class scientific research on multiphase and reactive flows in the area of energy conversion and process technology. The research is concerned with the development of computational and experimental techniques for the study of hydrogen flames in industrial applications.
We are interested in studying hydrogen flash-back, fundamentally as well as in practical applications. Studies on hydrogen flash-back have been performed in the past, and in this project we want to improve and extend the current knowledge base. Specifically, we would like to investigate hydrogen flame quenching and flash-back on heated burners. The goal is two-fold: one the one hand we would like to create a deeper insight into the physics of hydrogen flash-back and quenching and propose correlations for industry, and on the other hand we would like to investigate novel measurement techniques that can be used in the industry to study and monitor hydrogen flames. We expect that Machine Learning will play an important part in the analysis and post-processing of the data.
This project is in collaboration with Bosch Thermotechnology, Deventer, but your working location will be the Power and Flow group at TU/e. The supervisors for the project are
prof.dr. Jeroen van Oijen and dr. Nijso Beishuizen.
