Desirable Experience and : Candidate will have work to design, analysis, development, procurement, installation, commissioning, supervision, data recording and analysis in industry premise such as GHCL LTd. TATA Chemcials Ltd. etc. during integrated system installation and commissioning and salt-related field activities. Preference will be given knowledge about mechanical engineering aspects i.e. Thermal engineering, thermodynamic, heat and mass transfer, solar energy and renewable energy. Candidate have knowledge about various designing and analysis software like ANSYS CFD Pro, Auto CAD, SOLIDWORKS, GAMBIT. Candidate have work experience and expertise in operating solar thermal energy-based instruments/devices, solar reflector/concentrators, capability of practical implementation of system will be given preference. The candidate are expected to work on simulation system by developing CFD model and Ansys Simulation using experimental data on lab and salt field. He will be able to calculate solar energy devices output and turbulence analysis in designing software. He will supervised the installation and execution work for variouse components of integrated system like solar panel, solar water heater, circulation motion system, paddle wheel type system, laying of heat exchange system at industry premise like GHCL Ltd., Port victor, Rajula or Tata Chemicals, Mithapur etc. The project involves field scale experiments need constant monitoring and collection of various data regarding brine evaporation rate on field scale deployment and data recording in institute salt farm and industry premises.


This system will be deployed within the premises of a selected industry. Consequently, candidates must be prepared to work at GHCL (Rajula), TATA (Mithapur), or other designated locations.
