Applied Mathematics (engine) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 6 Applied Mathematics (engine) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Engine Chain Drive Friction and Wear

University of Sheffield Department of Mechanical Engineering

Chain drive systems are once again becoming prevalent in automotive engines. They contribute a significant amount to the total engine friction, however, and therefore by reducing chain friction overall energy savings will be possible. Read more

Aviation Fuels degradation

University of Sheffield Department of Mechanical Engineering

In jet engines, aviation fuel has a secondary purpose as a coolant in addition to being a fuel. As a result, it is subject to thermal stresses that may cause fuel degradation leading to deposit build up and potentially catastrophic engine failure. Read more

Flame and Acoustic Wave Interactions

University of Sheffield Department of Mechanical Engineering

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
