Internship: Development & Improvement of Heat Exchanger design by Finite Element Analysis (m/w)

Job Description Summary

The GE Vernova Gas Power Heat Exchanger department is globally responsible for the order execution of heat exchangers being integral part of GE`s combined cycle power plant applications (i.e. Condenser, District heater, Feedwater tank with deaerator, Atmospheric drain vessel, water/water cooler) as well as for gas turbine accessories coolers.

We are looking for an intern student for a period of 6 months, working 2 days per week on improvement of our FEA wizard for heat exchanger Tubesheet.

Job Description

After a period getting familiar with the different tubesheet design, you will work with our experts to develop an improved design and will adapt the FEA tool in interface with our internal heat exchanger design tool.

The tubesheet wizard will be improved incorporating a new geometry set up which contains partial modeling of geometry in interface with the tubesheet (module, waterbox, support plates, anchor/tension bars...)

The wizard shall also be adapted to various configurations (flange /no flange, vertical or horizontal arrangement, ...).

The improvement shall be recorded in a design practice document and training to the mechanical engineers on new tool will be performed.
