Trainee for The Visualization of Two-phase Flow in Cryogenic Pulsating Heat Pipes

Vor 6 Tagen


Villigen PSI, Schweiz Paul Scherrer Institut PSI Vollzeit

**Your tasks**:
Your tasks will include:

- Conduct a literature survey on the state of research on the visualization of cryogenic PHPs
- Develop or use a code for image processing of two-phase flow visualization (e.g. determination of the flow pattern, detection of vapor and liquid interfaces, estimation of filling ratios, film thickness, fluid velocities, dominant frequency of oscillation motions, correlation to thermal performance)
- Participate to experimentally visualize a transparent pulsating heat pipe at cryogenic temperature using neon as working fluid
- Analyze the results (e.g. image processing) and write an internship report

**Your profile**:

- You are a student in physics or engineering, and you are at least in your first year of Master study
- Ideally, you have already gained knowledge in fluid dynamics, heat and mass transfer, image processing or code development
- As a team‐oriented and communicative person you enjoy working in an interdisciplinary group
- Good English knowledge is required
- You have not yet completed your Master’s thesis

**We offer**:

- Our institution is based on an interdisciplinary, innovative and dynamic collaboration.The contract will be limited to 3 months.
