Combined Cycle Gas Turbine – CCS; experiment and modelling
This project will combine an experimental and modelling study of a combined cycle gas turbine with CCS. A Turbec T100 gas turbine will be modified to allow the investigation of the effect of exhaust gas recycle and or steam injection on its performance, with measurement of power output and exhaust gas emissions.

Techno-economic investigation of a Syngas – Combined Cycle Gas Turbine – Amine Capture Plant
This project will comprise a process modelling study of syngas production in conjunction with a combined cycle gas turbine with CCS using an amine capture plant. Read more
Modelling gas turbine based power generation system incorporating CCS technology
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is an emerging near-zero emission technology that can applied to next generation gas turbine based power stations, new and retrofit, leading to a substantial reduction in carbon emission to the atmosphere. Read more
Next generation CCS technology for combined cycle gas turbine system
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) from CCGT (combine cycle gas turbine) systems is an emerging near-zero emission technology that can applied to new and retrofit CCGT power plants, leading to a substantial reduction in carbon emission to the atmosphere in power generation industry. Read more
Novel gas turbine configurations for carbon capture
Natural gas will play a significant role in the future energy mix. Natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plants produce around half the emissions of advanced coal-fired power plants. Read more
Carbon capture from gas turbines
Natural gas is seen as cleaner than other fossil fuels and will continue to have an essential role in the energy mix of the future, particularly in the UK. Read more
Aerothermal Optimisation Study of a High-Pressure Turbine Blade Tip exposed to In-Service Thermal Damages
The aero-propulsion sector is continually seeking to reduce fuel consumption, costs and environmental pollution. Gas turbine engines form a significant part of this sector and their development is a key approach to meet fuel reduction targets. Read more

Multiscale Modelling of Natural, Living and Engineering Systems
The analysis and design of complex systems requires not only the ability to understand the functionality of the system as a whole but also the ability to design and optimize components and subsystems that gives rise to the emergent properties. Read more
Rolls-Royce sponsored PhD Scholarship, Design and Simulation of Stiffness-Adjustable Robotic Systems for Performing on-Wing Repair of Aero-Engines - (ENG 1318X1)
Applicants are invited to undertake a 3 year PhD programme in partnership with industry to address key challenges in on-platform manufacturing engineering. Read more
Modelling post combustion amine CO2 capture plant
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is an emerging near-zero emission technology that can applied to next generation gas turbine based power stations, new and retrofit, leading to a substantial reduction in carbon emission to the atmosphere. 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
