Numerical Modelling of High-Efficient Regenerative Elastocaloric Cooling Systems

vor 2 Monaten


Karlsruhe, Baden-Württemberg, Deutschland Karlsruher Institut für Technologie Vollzeit
Job Description

Background

The refrigeration and air conditioning industry currently accounts for 20% of global energy consumption and contributes to 7.8% of global carbon emissions. This is a significant concern, particularly in the context of rapid urbanization. Developing efficient and decarbonized refrigeration technologies is crucial for achieving carbon neutrality goals.

Elastocaloric Cooling Technology

Elastocaloric cooling employs solid refrigerants, such as shape memory alloys (SMAs) and polymers, which exhibit self-heating and -cooling in response to mechanical stress. This technology eliminates the risk of hazardous refrigerant leakage and offers an eco-friendly, energy-efficient cooling solution. Regenerative elastocaloric cooling, utilizing active heat-transfer fluid periods, shows potential for delivering enhanced cooling power towards future commercialization.

Research Objectives

The primary objective of this project is to develop a comprehensive numerical model for active elastocaloric regenerators (AERs) based on superelastic Ni-Ti alloys. The focus is on improving the existing model to optimize the operating parameters of the cooling system, including frequency, mass flow rate, porosity, and cooling performance evaluation.

Key Tasks

  • Investigate the SMA mechanical properties (phenomenological models of SMAs)
  • Improve the 1D numerical model for porous elastocaloric regenerators based on existing AER model codes (require MATLAB, thermodynamics background)
  • Optimize the AER operating parameters and evaluate its cooling performance
  • Comparison to the proof-of-concept of AERs

Requirements

To carry out this work, the Karlsruher Institut für Technologie has extensive state-of-the-art equipment, including a 600 m2 clean room, rapid prototyping processes, and various metrological laboratories. Intensive support ensures that the work can be carried out within the given time frame.

Personal Qualification

  • Field of study: Mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, physics, and related programs of study
  • We are looking for ambitious, creative, and self-motivated individuals who like to work in a multidisciplinary and international team
