PhD scholarship in Methane Emissions from Marine Diesel Engines

jobbeskrivelse:
The Department of Mechanical Engineering (DTU Mekanik) of the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) has an open PhD position in the field of measuring and modelling unburned methane emissions in natural gas engines. The PhD will be working under the umbrella of the BlueINNOship project. The PhD is funded by Innovation Fund Denmark, The Danish Maritime Fund and DTU Mechanical Engineering. Responsibilities and tasks Formation of unburned hydrocarbons has been studied intensively in gasoline engines. Methane is, however, an exception, since methane has not been regulated in the same manner as other hydrocarbons. Methane is difficult to burn completely due to its stable nature. The PhD student will be responsible for carrying out well controlled combustion engine experiments and for data collection/processing in order to verify mathematical models describing combustion of methane and formation of emissions of unburned methane under different combustion principles. The focus will be on dual fuel combustion in compression ignition engines. Qualifications Candidates should have a master's degree in engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master's degree in engineering. Approval and Enrolment The scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval, and the candidates will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes of DTU. For information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, please see the DTU PhD Guide. Assessment The candidate should have experience with experimental engine work, including data collection and processing. A thorough understanding of engine thermodynamics and combustion chemistry is essential as well. The assessment of the applicants will be made by Associate Professor Jesper Schramm according to the requirements stated above. We offer We offer an interesting and challenging job in an international environment focusing on education, research, public-sector consultancy and innovation, which contribute to enhancing the economy and improving social welfare. We strive for academic excellence, collegial respect and freedom tempered by responsibility. The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is a leading technical university in northern Europe and benchmarks with the best universities in the world. Salary and appointment terms The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules for PhD degree students. The period of employment is 3 years.
