Dr M R Bird, Dr J Chew
Applications accepted all year round
Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)
About the Project
The washing of fabrics in front-loader washing machines is a common but poorly understood process. As with any cleaning operation, the combination of fluid mechanics and chemistry are crucial to understanding and optimising the process. In previous work in our laboratory, we have constructed apparatus to examined the mechanisms occurring when fabrics covered in oils and other foulants and bent, stretched, twisted and had water and cleaning agents passed through them. We have also visualised the process using a state of the art microscope and image capture system. This new project will examine the effect of novel cleaners and novel methods of applying mechanical action such as gas sparging and ultrasound. This project offers the exiting possibility of helping reduce the environmental impact of an everyday process, potentially affecting the lives of hundreds of millions of people.
The project is offered by the University of Bath and is supported by Unilever R&D Port Sunlight. The project will be based in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Bath. The successful applicant will also spend up to three months at Unilever's Port Sunlight Laboratory. The lead supervisor, Dr Mike Bird (www.bath.ac.uk/chem-eng/people/bird/index.html) is a Senior Lecturer in Biochemical Engineering. Please feel free to email Dr Mike Bird ([Email Address Removed]) for additional information prior to making an application. The co-supervisor of the project is Dr John Chew.
The studentship can start at any time up to October 2013, but please apply as soon as possible.
