                                GENERALThe Research Group Applied Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer focuses on systems where heat transfer is the main energy transfer mode. The aim is to develop more energy efficient systems. By doing this, the research contributes to formulating technical solutions for the reduction of CO2 emissions in compliance with the 20-20-20 directive of the European Union. Based on the laws of thermodynamics, models are developed for thermal systems. These models are validated  and based on experiments which are conducted in the laboratory. For these experiments up to date measurement equipment is available. YOUR JOBThe trainee will perform simulations with existing models build in TRNSYS and MATLAB. The simulation's results have to be analyzed and a data reduction method has to be developed. The data reduction is done in MATLAB. After each test/simulation, the trainee will report the obtained results.
