| Transport through porous materials – theory and modelling | |||||||||||||
There are many applications in which it is important to be able to predict transport properties of particles travelling through porous media. Two examples among many are the diffusion of gases through the zeolites that make up fuel cells and the leaks of nuclear waste through porous rocks. While there is an abundance of ad hoc equations derived to describe these situations, they have little fundamental justification and thus the predictive power is limited. This project aims to tackle these issues by means of the computer modelling of idealised systems and the use of modern kinetic theory to generate a deep theoretical understanding and to develop new, well-founded transport equations. Funding Notes There are a limited number of studentships available for UK/EU students with a 2.1. degree or better. Full fees and maintenance are available for UK students, fees only for EU students. Overseas students may also apply, but you will then need to compete for a University or national scholarship. |
