Hydrogen injection system for internal combustion engines, REF: RM-CDTResilient-CleanAirPower-2022
Impact. Hydrogen has the potential of emerging as the leading energy carrier for the next generation of zero-carbon combustion for propulsion systems. Read more
The Characterisation of Carbon Deposits using Modern Surface Science and Bulk property Analytical Techniques.
Impact of the project. Your work will allow plant-derived fuels to be used to power heavy motor vehicles that cannot easily be run on electricity, massively reducing their CO2 emissions. . Read more
Electric Motor Torque Estimation
Knowing the torque produced by an electric motor is essential in a wide range of applications. In electric vehicles it is important to deliver the torque requested by the driver, and it becomes very important for good drivability when blending regenerative braking torque with the hydraulic brakes.

Automated generation and parameterisation of physics-based propulsion system models
Accurate simulation models are vital for the implementation of digital development techniques. These models need to be a suitably accurate representation of the system behaviour, whilst also satisfying key requirements in terms of computational speed and scalability. Read more
Plasma-assisted technologies for clean combustion
The successful ignition of a combustible mixture not only initiates the combustion but also influences the subsequent combustion process. Read more
Development of ignition systems for energy systems
There have been consistent efforts in developing more fast and efficient combustion. Microwave discharges are widely used for plasma-assisted ignition of air/fuel mixtures. Read more
Optimisation of Landing Gear at Overall Aircraft Level PhD
This 3-year PhD opportunity is sponsored by UKRI/EPSRC, Airbus and Cranfield University. Eligible students could receive a tax-free bursary up to £17,312 per annum. Read more
Multiscale tribological modelling of a novel sliding cam transmission system
Engine transmission systems rely on pistons, crankshafts, and gearboxes to provide power from the combustion chamber to the axels. Read more
Hot corrosion studies of gas turbine alloy materials PhD
This is a self-funded PhD position to work with Dr Adnan Syed in the Surface Engineering and Precision Centre. The PhD project will focus studying high temperature corrosion mechanisms in details to identify the material degradation and coatings applications details in extreme environments. Read more
Flame and Acoustic Wave Interactions
Thermoacoustic instability is an unresolved problem in combustion devices such as gas turbine and jet engine. When the acoustic pressure is coupled with the heat release fluctuation, very strong oscillation may occur, which may even damage the hardware component to cause high losses. Read more
