Project Description | |
|---|---|
| Project description: | The FesTES project develops high-temperature thermal energy storage systems using solid–solid PCM for industrial applications. Depending on project progress by summer 2026, the student may work on advanced materials characterization (thermal/mechanical properties), developing improved methods for kinetic analysis, supporting and optimizing lab reactor tests, extending and refining MATLAB reactor models, simulating innovative application cases, and assessing their techno-economic performance for real-world industrial scenarios. |
| Working hours per week planned: | 40 |
