Are you looking for a place to write your thesis?

Do you want to apply and expand your theoretical knowledge in a practical setting? Would you also like to gain insights into a global company and the world of textiles? Then you’ve come to the right place, because Groz-Beckert offers you this opportunity—seize it!

Objective of the Thesis:

The objective of this thesis is to investigate and analyze a differential pressure measurement system for determining dynamic pressure on air wefts. Through measurements, experimental tests, and the creation of a 3D model, the influences of geometry, flow patterns, and pressure distribution on the measurement signal will be identified and evaluated. Based on the results, a physical understanding of the measurement setup will be developed, and approaches for calibrating and optimizing dynamic pressure measurement in the production process will be derived.

How you can support us:

• Analysis of the existing differential pressure measurement system for determining dynamic pressure in air wefts


• Documentation and structured measurement of the measurement frame and the relevant individual geometric components


• Investigation of the geometric arrangement and interactions of the measurement elements within the measurement section


• Identification and experimental evaluation of the influence of all factors (such as geometry and positioning) on the measured differential pressure signal


• Fluid dynamics analysis of the measurement setup and classification of physical mechanisms


• Development and analysis of a realistic 3D model of the measurement geometry, including the ground edge, to investigate flow patterns and pressure distribution


• Development and validation of a theoretical model to describe the measurement setup and the relevant flow processes


• Derivation of relationships between geometry, nozzle arrangement, flow, boundary conditions, and the measured dynamic pressure behavior


• Identification of potential approaches for calibration and reproducible parameterization of the measurement


• Documentation of the results and formulation of recommendations for use in the production process

What you should bring along:

• Preferably currently pursuing a master’s degree in mechanical engineering, physics, textile engineering, mechatronics, production engineering, or a comparable technical field


• Strong analytical skills and a solid understanding of physics and engineering


• Ideally, some knowledge of fluid mechanics, measurement technology, or experimental investigation techniques


• Enjoyment of experimentally investigating complex relationships, critically evaluating measurement setups, and iteratively improving them


• An inventive and inquisitive mindset, the ability to work independently, and a high degree of self-initiative
