Thermal Engineering

About the internship: As our core thermal systems intern, your primary focus will be across thermal design, CAD preparation, and simulation support for the sCO generator program. Your day-to-day responsibilities include: 1. Support the design of heat transfer and thermal subsystems for an sCO -based power cycle targeting about 50 kW output. 2. Translate preliminary calculations into engineering layouts, sizing logic, and design assumptions for components and assemblies. 3. Build and refine 3D CAD models of relevant thermal and flow-system hardware, including ducts, piping, heat-exchanger interfaces, housings, and related mechanical structures. 4. Prepare geometries for CFD analysis and support meshing, boundary condition definition, solver setup, and results interpretation for internal flow and heat-transfer behavior. 5. Assist with thermal analysis of components exposed to elevated temperatures near 500 C and identify design improvements for performance, manufacturability, and reliability. 6. Use Python-based engineering tools for calculations, data processing, property evaluation, and simulation post-processing. 7. Work with thermophysical property libraries such as CoolProp and help maintain calculation notebooks or scripts used in the design loop. 8. Review technical literature related to sCO cycles, compact heat exchangers, turbomachinery-adjacent thermal systems, and CFD/heat transfer methods to strengthen design decisions. 9. Document assumptions, simulation workflows, results, and recommendations in a clear engineering format, as documentation and reporting are common expectations in comparable thermal engineering internships.
