Ultra-High Temperature Thermal Energy Storage Investigating the fluid dynamics and heat transfer aspect of the ultra-high temperature thermal energy

研究由爱丁堡大学能源系统研究所的Adam Robinson博士开发的超高温热能储存技术的流体动力学和传热方面。我将设计和评估热泵的使用，为储存核心充电，并循环废热，以保持核心温度。我也会调查在热泵中使用叶片冷却是否会导致可接受的低热力学损失，并且更普遍地调查空气动力学考虑和热交换器中的传热。我将设计一个阀门，在发电燃气轮机中使用热燃烧产物和从储存核心加热的氮气之间切换。我还将调查用于发电的燃气轮机的再热系统。这项工作将涉及编写计算机代码，以考虑计算流体动力学模拟中的传热和结构因素的附加影响。将建立各种系统组件的数学模型，并与从按比例缩小的热能储存试验台获得的实验数据进行比较。为了进行瞬态分析，建立一个完整系统的数值模型也是可取的。

Investigating the fluid dynamics and heat transfer aspect of the ultra-high temperature thermal energy storage technology being developed by Dr Adam Robinson in the Institute of Energy Systems at the University of Edinburgh.I'd be designing and evaluating the use of heat pumps to charge the storage core and to recirculate waste heat to maintain the core temperature. I'd also be investigating if using blade cooling in the heat pump results in acceptably low thermodynamic losses, and more generally investigating the aerodynamic considerations and heat transfer in the heat exchangers. I'd be designing a valve to switch between using hot combustion products in the power generating gas turbine, and nitrogen heated from the storage core. I'd also be investigating the reheat system used in the power generating gas turbine.The work would involve writing computer code to take account of the additional effects of heat transfer and structural considerations in computational fluid dynamic simulations. Mathematical models of the various system components would be developed and compared with experimental data obtained from a scaled down test rig of the thermal energy store. It would also be desirable to develop a numerical model of the complete system in order to perform transient analyses.
