NEW: MITACS ACCELERATE M.Sc. FELLOWSHIP:
High-Density Process Heaters Powered By Clean Energy
The global drive to adopt clean energy is opening new markets for novel engineering technologies. In a partnership between McGill University, MITACS and a leading Montreal-based engineering company, the design and optimization of a high-energy-density industrial process heater will be undertaken. The M.Sc. candidate will develop a multi-physics computational-fluid-dynamics model to bridge micro- and macro-scales, informing an optimal engineering design for international markets.
The ideal candidate will have an undergraduate degree in chemical or mechanical engineering with an outstanding academic record, particularly in heat and mass transfer and engineering mathematics. Strengths in thermodynamics, materials engineering, and process control will also be beneficial. The candidate will have excellent communication and organizational skills for research that will be undertaken at McGill and onsite with the industrial partner, targeted to start in the fall of 2023.
