• Undergraduate Research Assistant Needed: Airconditioning and Refrigeration Center

  Apr 25, 2017 1:45 pm7 views

  Project Description: Project involves heat transfer and fluid dynamics study of refrigerants (like R32, R1234zeE) in microchannel tubes (tube with a hydraulic diameter at a scale of 1mm) by experiments and theoretical analysis. We are looking for students who are eager to enter a top graduate school or want to have research experiences. In particular, students who want to do modeling in fluid dynamics and heat transfer. Students will start with reading papers and will eventually analyze data. After analyzing the data, the student should be able to use the knowledge in fluid or heat transfer courses to build a model. Students are expected to summarize information for a conference paper-level report. The time scale and result depend on the student's input.

  Requirements

  - Mechanical Engineering or Theoretical and Applied Mechanics student
  - Have taken an undergraduate level fluid dynamics course or an undergraduate level heat transfer course
  - Preferably with Matlab and Excel experience
  - Preferably knows Buckingham Pi Theorem
  - Preferably knows mass, momentum, and energy balance of a control volume in fluid dynamics and heat transfer

  Submit the following to apply

  - Resume
  - Unofficial transcript
