<h3>Temporary Part-Time Advisor – Flash Vessel Validation  Location: Remote  Type: Temporary (4-6 weeks) </h3> About Skyven Technologies At Skyven Technologies, we have developed a revolutionary heat pump technology to decarbonize industrial heat and move the needle on climate change. Our technologies have the potential to completely eliminate on-site CO2 emissions from industrial steam. We implement this technology through an innovative Energy-as-a-Service model that provides clean process heat to industrial facilities. We identify, fund, design, build, and install our cutting-edge, decarbonization technologies to help industrial manufacturers reach their sustainability goals, while minimizing their risk and reducing their operational expenses. About the Role Skyven is seeking a Temporary Part-Time Advisor to assist in validating the performance of a custom-designed flash vessel for our steam-generating heat pump system. The project is expected to require 20-40 hours of work over a period of four weeks or less, with compensation at a negotiable hourly rate.  Technology Background Skyven’s flash vessels receive warm water from a waste heat source and use pressure drops to generate low-pressure steam. This process is similar to multi-stage flash (MSF) distillation technology but without condensers. The steam is then compressed to a higher pressure using mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) fans.  Key Responsibilities <ul><li>Validate the performance of Skyven’s flash vessel designs using historical data, empirical correlations, and scaling exercises </li></ul><ul><li>Analyze steam generation rates based on vessel geometry and operating conditions </li></ul><ul><li>Confirm or recommend modifications to flow rates and interstage orifice dimensions </li></ul><ul><li>Provide insights on:  </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Liquid sloshing and its impact on orifice performance </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Liquid temperature profiles and variations along vessel length and depth </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Likelihood of droplet carryover in real-world operation </li></ul></ul><ul><ul><li>Other practical considerations for vessel performance and operation </li></ul></ul><ul><li>Participate in weekly video conference calls (one hour per week) during U.S. East Coast working hours </li></ul>RequirementsIdeal Candidate <ul><li>Extensive real-world experience with full-scale multi-stage flash (MSF) or similar flash vessel technologies </li></ul><ul><li>Ability to estimate flash train performance (steam generation rates, water temperatures) using empirical methods </li></ul><ul><li>Prior work involving both analytical evaluation and validation with operational field data </li></ul><ul><li>Strong understanding of fluid dynamics, phase change, and thermal processes in industrial applications </li></ul><ul><li>Experience with practical design considerations beyond simulations (CFD or purely analytical work is not the focus of this role) </li></ul> FAQs Q: Am I expected to design a new flash vessel for Skyven?  A: No. Skyven has already designed the vessel and selected key parameters.
