PhD Position at the University of Bonn

Written by LOWONGAN KERJA TERBARU on 06:04

Vacant PhD Position at the University of Bonn

Research field:
Numerical modeling of atmospheric chemical processes

Position:
A PhD position is available at the Meteorological Institute of the
University of Bonn.
Together with another Postdoc student,
the applicant will work within a common research project of the
Meteorological Institutes of the Universities of Bonn and Mainz and
the Max-Planck-Institute for Chemistry in Mainz.


Contract:
The research is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
It is limited to a three year period with a salary TVL 13/2.

Proposed research of the project:
Numerical modeling of chemical processes in the atmosphere is
essential to increase our understanding of atmospheric composition and
its changes induced by human activity. In recent years, global-scale
atmospheric models have been developed
that calculate the concentration and processing of
atmospheric trace constituents. However, for
key problems, e.g. local air quality and long-range transport from local
sources, the development of high-resolution models is essential.
In this project such a model will be developed.
The model will be driven by consistent meteorological and chemical
fields. This will be achieved through an online coupling of the global
ECHAM5/MESSy system with the COSMO-model of the German Meteorological
Service. First applications of
the newly developed model COSMO-MESSy will serve to investigate its
capabilities for a detailed analysis of field measurements,
the direct simulation of mesoscale chemical perturbations like dust
and biomass burning plumes, as well as an assessment and
forecast of local air quality.

Qualifications:
Diploma/Master in meteorology, physics, informatics, mathematics or
related fields.
Experience with numerical modeling of atmospheric processes.
Skills in Linux, FORTRAN, IDL or others.


Aplications:
Until end of December 2007 at the address:

PhD in Optimal Use of Biomass in Power Plant Boilers

Written by LOWONGAN KERJA TERBARU on 16:18

PhD Project - Optimal use of biomass in power plant boilers Combustion and
Harmful Emission Control Research Centre Department of Chemical Engineering

A 3-year PhD position on the above mentioned topic is open at the CHEC
(Combustion and Harmful Emission Control) Research Centre, Department of
Chemical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark.


*Supervisors: *Associate Professor Peter Arendt Jensen (paj@kt.dtu.dk),
Associate Professor Flemming Frandsen (ff@kt.dtu.dk), Professor Kim
Dam-Johansen (kdj@kt.dtu.dk).

*Background:
*Utilization of biomass on large power plants is a potentially efficient
method to reduce net CO2 emissions and reduce the consumption of fossil
fuels. Use of biomass fuels in large suspension-fired boilers may cause
operational problems. One example is when straw is applied as fuel in
suspension fired boilers whereby severe ash deposit formation in the boiler
chamber often takes place. Improved technologies for ash deposit removal are
therefore needed.

This PhD study will deal with the development of models, experimental tools
and innovative concepts to reduce ash related problems in biomass fired
power plant boilers. The study shall be founded on solid knowledge on
Chemical Engineering and will be conducted in tight collaboration with
industrial partners. In some recent CHEC-projects both modeling tools,
advanced probes and laboratory equipment have been developed and those tools
will be available for the PhD project.

*Project content:
*The main objective is to develop methods to optimize the use of straw in
power plant boilers and to develop and verify a model of the transient
deposit formation in a boiler. Practical probe measurements on a full scale
boiler will form the basis for a mathematical model for deposit formation
taking all important parameters into consideration. Based on the results
strategies for efficient boiler operation is to be established. The project
will be conducted in collaboration with the power company Vattenfall.

The PhD-candidate will carry out the model development and conduct the probe
measurements together with technicians. Vattenfall will operate the boiler
and participate in the planning of the project.

*Contents of PhD application:
*Candidates should hold a master degree in chemical engineering, or similar
degree with an equivalent academic level. Applications must include
Curriculum Vitae, a statement on your motivation for applying,
recommendations, and copies of all grade lists and other relevant diplomas.

The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules for
PhD degree students at the Technical University of Denmark:
http://www.dtu.dk/English/education/Phd_Education.aspx

*Applications should be sent by regular mail to:*
Associate Professor Peter Arendt Jensen
Department of Chemical Engineering
Technical University of Denmark
Building 229
DK-2800 Kgs. Lyngby

Further information about the project may also be obtained from the
supervisors.

Further general information regarding Ph.D. studies at DTU is available at:
Technical University of Denmark: www.dtu.dk
Department of Chemical Engineering: www.kt.dtu.dk

*Deadline for submission of application is 26th November 2007.*
*All interested candidates irrespective of age, gender, race, religion or
ethnic background are encouraged to apply.*
