The Dept of POwder Science and Technology of Tel-Tek, Norway wish to recruit immediately :
Two PhD candidates
to work on challenging problems in the field of Particulate Science and Technology. This project is funded by the Norwegian Research Council.
The research work will be within the following areas:
Scaling up of pneumatic transport systems: This study will focus on further development of scaling up technique based on laboratory scale tests and CFD modeling. The project will study the pressure drop at the bends and the variation of pressure drop coefficients in case of vertical transport for various size distributions of the same bulk material. It is planned to use both experimental and modelling techniques for prediction of pressure drop.
Electrostatic charging of powder during transport: The objective of this study will be to enhance our understanding of the phenomenon of electrostatic charging of particulate materials under 300µm. Industries often complain that they are
plagued by the problem of electrostatic charging and that often such charging can lead to dangerous dust explosions during pneumatic conveying of materials into a silo.
Better understanding of the electrostatic charging phenomenon will help us in taking suitable measures for avoiding such dangerous situations.
For the doctoral work the candidate will be enrolled at Telemark University College (TUC), Porsgrunn, Norway, who awards PhDs in cooperation with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim, Norway.
Qualifications:
- master of science or master of engineering
- interest and motivation for practically related research work linked to industrial
processes
- positive and open disposition, result oriented with good cooperation abilities
- good knowledge of English
We offer:
- challenging research- and practical tasks within an interesting and challenging field
- extensive international contacts
- excellent career possibilities
- compensation as per prevailing rules of the Norwegian Research council for the project
For further information, do not hesitate to contact:
Dr. Biplab K. Datta, Project Manager; tel. +4735574145, fax: +47 35574140
