We have 28 Chemical Engineering PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Manchester
Practical Student Learning and Preparation
Practical classes are a major part of student learning and help them associate theory with the real world. Read more
Environmentally strategic decommissioning of Advanced Gas-cooled Reactors led by life cycle assessment
This project will apply environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) and economic life cycle costing (LCC) to some of the key problems presented by decommissioning activities. Read more
Smart Design of Distillation Systems
Distillation is one of the most commonly applied unit operations in the process industry, with significant capital and operation costs. Read more
Protein self assembly induced by multivalent biological metabolites
In addition to being an energy source in biological reactions, recent discoveries suggest adenosine triphosphate (ATP) also plays a critical role in maintaining cell stability and preventing deleterious cellular processes through modulating biomacromolecular self assembly. Read more
Capillary pressure, relative permeability and wettability at critically-low saturated porous media (CRISP)
Darcy-scale theories of two-phase flow in porous media rely on two major constitutive equations; capillary-pressure- saturation and relative permeability-saturation equations. Read more
Last chance to apply
Geochemical Controls on Radionuclide Transport and Fate in Sedimentary Rock – A combined experimental and modelling study
Context. The UK has been generating electricity from nuclear power for over sixty years. Consequently, the safe disposal of the UK’s existing ~750,000 m3 of radioactive waste is a clear priority. Read more
The next generation of irradiation and corrosion resistant steels for fusion reactor
The United Kingdom is committed to achieving net zero (i.e. net zero carbon emissions) by 2050. This has triggered renewed interest in clean, low emission nuclear power. Read more
Thermal hydraulics modelling of low-pressure, light water-cooled Small Modular Reactors
The Low-Pressure Water Reactor (LPWR) is a 300MW(e) pool-type water-cooled Small Modular Reactor (SMR) design in which the nuclear core is located at the bottom of a deep underground shaft instead of inside a pressure vessel. Read more
Hydrogen trapping and permeation in metallic and ceramic coatings for fusion powerplant applications
Research Group:
Coatings and Ceramics
Future fusion powerplants must maintain tritium inventory to ensure safe and sustainable plant operations. Structural materials in the breeder blanket and tritium extraction systems will be exposed to tritium and lithium. Read more
Alumina based ceramic nanocomposites through lean electrolytic plasma processing of Al alloys
We welcome applications from candidates to work with our interdisciplinary and collaborative team on a project on research and development of innovative surface treatments of advanced engineering materials. Read more
(EPSRC DTP ICASE) Materials Performance of austenitic stainless steels in high temperature Helium environment
This innovative PhD project, conducted in collaboration with EDF Energy, invites a passionate and dedicated researcher to join a transformative exploration at the forefront of materials science, making meaningful contributions to the future of energy technology. Read more
Understanding Performance in Co and Fe-Based Alloys under Nuclear Plant-Relevant Conditions
We offer an exciting PhD opportunity in collaboration with Rolls-Royce, exploring galling performance in Co- and Fe-Based Alloys for nuclear plants. Read more
Development of ceramic thermal and environmental barrier coatings for high temperature applications
Research Group:
Coatings and Ceramics
Ceramic coatings are vital in high-temperature applications, especially in aero-engines and the power generation industry. These coatings increase the engine’s operating temperature to improve efficiency and reduce the engine’s environmental impact. Read more
