The Institute of Engineering Thermodynamics (ITT) at Hamburg University of Technology is a fast-growing research institute focusing on experimental and simulation-based research on complex energy systems. We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to work on second-law-based analysis and design of packed-bed thermal energy storage systems. The research is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) within the Priority Programme “Carnot Batteries: Inverse Design from Markets to Molecules” (SPP 2403).

The successful candidate will use system-level simulation (Modelica) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD, OpenFOAM) to investigate the charge and discharge processes in packed-bed thermal storage systems. Based on the simulation results, a second-law analysis will be performed, and an inverse design model will be developed to identify suitable material combinations and system configurations.

The position offers the opportunity to work in a dynamic research environment and collaborate with leading research institutes in Germany through the DFG SPP program. The project is a perfect opportunity to contribute to the ongoing energy transition and TU Hamburg's mission "engineering to face climate change".

YOUR TASKS

Simulations of the transient charge/discharge processes of packed bed storage systems
Second-law-analysis of the simulation results to understand the loss mechanisms
Development of an inverse design model
Publishing research in peer-reviewed journals and present results at international conferences
Contribute to the Institute beyond the dedicated project work

YOUR PROFILE

Requirements

Completed scientific university studies (masters degree or equivalent), in particular in the subject mechanical engineering, process engineering or other relevant disciplines

Desired knowledge and personal skills
