Master’s internship 2024 – Modeling of a fluidized-bed heat exchanger for integration in a solar power plant

The aim of the internship is to contribute to the development of a fluidized-bed heat exchanger model in which the fluid to be heated circulates inside bundles of immersed tubes. This is an intermediate-scale model between a particulate approach in which the movement of each particle is simulated, and a global approach which describes the transfer solely on the basis of a parietal exchange coefficient.
