Enter the fascinating world of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) and help shape the future through research and innovation! We offer an exciting and inspiring working environment driven by the expertise and curiosity of our 11,000 employees from 100 nations and our unique infrastructure. Together, we develop sustainable technologies and thus contribute to finding solutions to global challenges. Would you like to join us in addressing this major future challenge? Then this is your place!
For our Institute of Engineering Thermodynamics in Stuttgart we are looking for a
Investigation of solubility of foreign materials in Solar Salt
What to expect:
The work relates to a deeper material understanding of molten nitrate storage systems in commercial concentrated solar power (CSP) plants. In future, these storage systems can also be used for green industrial processes and large-scale electricity storage systems (Carnot batteries). The planned work for the master thesis focuses on solubility aspects and builds on previous work and existing experimental setups of the research group.
The main tasks include carrying out solubility experiments of salt decomposition and/or corrosion products in molten nitrate salts and evaluating the results with regards to the use of molten salt storage systems for end user applications. The work is integrated into a team with experienced staff for support.
What we expect from you:
- ongoing Master in Chemical/Process Engineering, Chemistry, Material Science and Engineering or related, including authorization to register the Master thesis
- knowledge of thermal process engineering, thermochemistry, wet chemical analysis methods, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, heat and mass transfer or a related field
- team player, creative, and able to work independently and self-motivated
What we offer:
DLR stands for diversity, appreciation and equality for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees both personally and professionally. To this end, we offer numerous training and development opportunities. Equal opportunities are of particular importance to us, which is why we want to increase the proportion of women in science and management in particular. Applicants with severe disabilities will be given preference if they are qualified.
