Modeling and design improvement of a novel energy conversionprocess

The industrial partner has developed a novel system to convert low-grade heat into electricity.

However, the system needs to be studied further through scientific research to help with

optimizing the product development, component design, and overall system performance for

commercialization. In the proposed research project, the intern will use computational

modeling to understand the fundamental thermodynamic processes, for the design

optimization of the individual component and the entire system. The simulations will also be

conducted to study the scalability of the system to target different markets. The intern will use

the simulations results to design and improve prototypes for the technology demonstration,

and will conduct the performance testing of the demo unit to generate the benchmark data for

marketing and commercialization of this novel technology.
