Background
Hot Isostatic Presses use pressurized heated gas for consolidation, densification, or bonding of high-performance components and materials. Processed parts can achieve 100% of maximum theoretical density, resulting in exceptional material properties. In the end of a cycle a fraction of the gas is dumped out in the atmosphere. Wind, gas flow and height above ground will influence the mixing of argon/nitrogen and the surrounding air. This must be mixed to ensure enough oxygen at ground level.
Task description
We therefore suggest a project aimed at investigating the parameters influencing the exact location of the gas exhaust with help of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The aim is to decide the location of the exhaust for the whole product range from Quintus.
The main tasks will be to determine a safe location of the gas exhaust by:
- Transient and steady state simulations of the flow field around the exhaust and mixing with surrounding air.
- Validation case of species transport.
- Determine how the mixing is influenced by different parameters
Suitable background
- Master of science program in mehcanical engineer with specialistion in applied mechanics or similar, engineering physics, or similiar.
- Some experience in fluid dynamics and/or numerical analysis.
Application Information
The thesis will take place at Quintus office in Västerås and is expected to start January 2027. The selection will be ongoing so therefore apply as soon as possible.
