Job Description

 

The Thermal Engineering Laboratory (TEL) at College of Engineering (COE) of Arkansas State University (A-State), Jonesboro invites applicants for a postdoctoral research associate. The Postdoctoral Research Associate will work on an industrial project to develop computational modeling and software to quantitatively predict transient behavior of coal ash fouling and deposition onto tube surfaces at full scale heat exchangers (Superheaters/Reheaters) in coal-fired power plants burning low rank coals and their blends. The project scope include 1) derivation of governing equations in heat/mass transfer and multiphase flow, 2) numerical modeling of ash deposition/fouling mechanism, 3) computation of tube/fin surface temperatures of associated heat exchangers, and 4) validity/compliance check with references/ standards. He/she will disseminate/present the research results in journals, reports, conferences, and meetings. He/she will provide mentoring for graduate/undergraduate students in the Thermal Engineering Laboratory under the Principal Investigator at Arkansas State University. The Postdoctoral Research Associate will assist and report to Principal Investigator. This is a four year position. This position is funded by an external source and the appointment shall not continue beyond the date funding ceases.
