Project description

We’re looking for a technically minded Research Intern to help develop mathematical correlations for a binary geothermal power plant model built in DWSIM. DWSIM is a free and open-source chemical process simulator that’s CAPE-OPEN compliant and runs on Windows. As part of the project the student will analyze the current developed model, perform process analysis, identify mathematical correlations between processes and write a report.

The intern will be working with Ramesh Rayudu and Anu Chowdhary of Engineering and Computer Science.

The outcome from this project are:
1. Development of Mathematical correlations of the plant model
2. Process flow analysis
3. A report on the developed model

This project is for a single student.
