Summer job in geothermal energy: Research assistant for steam-water laboratory experiments
In the research project GeoEjector we are developing a novel method to connect low-pressure and high-pressure geothermal wells, which could increase the efficiency of geothermal power plants. At Reykjavik University, we are setting up a laboratory for experiments to measure a steam-water ejector’s performance, and we are looking for a student to assist us.
The scope of the work includes taking part in designing different prototypes of a supersonic ejector, setting up laboratory equipment and performing measurements of pressure, temperature and mass flow of water and steam. The student will work closely with the research group, which consists of academics with various backgrounds in the field of geothermal research in collaboration with experts from the geothermal industry. This position offers an excellent opportunity to work on an applied geothermal research project. The student can gain valuable experience in laboratory experiments with a close connection to the industry.
This three months position is funded by Rannis Student Innovation Fund (Nýsköpunarsjóður námsmanna)
Qualification
The employee should be a university student in engineering, applied engineering or related subjects. Previous experience in laboratory measurements is desirable but not mandatory.
