Design and development of water desalination plants for rural communities, driven by a hybrid solar-bioenergy system
Freshwater supplies are becoming increasingly stressed as demand increases. Desalination technologies are able to produce drinking water from abundant resources such as seawater. Read more
Modelling, design and testing of integrated anaerobic digestion and hydroponics systems for closed-loop urban applications
Anaerobic digestion (AD) will play a major role in the future circular economy, in particular enabling biological closed loops with complete recycling of nutrients and improved recovery of energy. Read more
Design and development of water desalination plants for rural communities, driven by a hybrid solar-biogas energy system
Freshwater supplies are becoming increasingly stressed as demand increases. Desalination technologies are able to produce drinking water from abundant resources such as seawater. Read more
Natural Laminar Flow Wing Design and Optimisation
This study will investigate the design and optimisation of NLF wings for transonic flow. The stability of the boundary layer around the wing including cross flow instability and attachment line instability will be studied. Read more
Internet of Things (IoT) for microclimate monitoring within forests (Ref: CENTA2025-LU1)
Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) 15 of the United Nations seek to conserve life on land “to protect and restore terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and stop biodiversity loss’’. Read more
In-process monitoring of microstructure evolution during ingot-to-billet conversion of the aerospace grade Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64) material in support of the ongoing development of Digital Twin infrastructure for high-value manufacturing
The University of Strathclyde is pleased to be able to offer a highly cross-disciplinary engineering project on the process optimisation of high-value manufacturing. Read more
