Thermofluids Engineer

Job Description

Job Description

Last Energy is seeking an experienced Thermofluids Engineer for the development of thermal systems components within our comprehensive Power Plant System. The successful candidate will leverage their expertise in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and system-level codes to perform in-depth multiscale analyses of heat transfer in internal turbulent flows at both the component and system levels.

Key Duties & Responsibilities

• Application of standard methods of design and analysis to provide pragmatic engineering solutions to fluid and heat transfer systems across the plant
• Perform steady-state / transient fluid flow and heat transfer analysis of industrial turbulent systems at the component (equipment) and system (plant) levels
• Model and simulate single and multiphase flows
• Experience with system codes - MELCOR, RELAP, etc. preferred but not required
• 2D / 3D Component level analysis through the use of Finite Volume Method (CFD) codes with and without high-performance computing resources
• 1D system-level analysis via “system” codes, dynamic process simulators, and / or heat and flow network codes
• Conduct thorough validation and verification of numerical models, ensuring accuracy and reliability in simulation results
• Aid in the design of laboratory and rig-scale experiments for verification and validation of thermal systems
• Develop system / component design requirements and acceptance criteria in line with best practices and regulatory guidance
• Oversight of external Scopes of Work and academic activities
