The postdoc will carry out experimental research based on thermofluid-dynamic measurements in two-phase systems, with particular focus on the evaporation of water films and droplets and on droplet dispersion. The activity is part of two projects: (i) FRESCO, on indirect evaporative cooling cycles for in-field fruit preservation post harvesting; (ii) DROPLESS, on methods for detecting droplet emissions in indoor environments to support pathogen-spread mitigation. Planned
2 activities: design and operation of experimental setups, measurements of temperature, humidity and droplet size distribution, data processing and modelling, scientific publications. (omissis)
