PhD in Novel Techniques for the Application of an Aluminide Coating
Power generation is changing to ensuring a sustainable future. This requires using novel technologies based on hydrogen fuels & new cycles at higher… Read more
Opportunities for Doctoral Studies at Bristol Composites Institute and National Composites Centre
We are pleased to announce as part of the ongoing collaboration the National Composites Centre (NCC) has sponsored 5 new EngD studentships. Read more
Aero-engine intake Aerodynamic Design and Optimisation PhD
With the continuing need for new air vehicle systems with aero-engines, there is a need for closer integration of the propulsion system and the airframe. Read more
Numerical measurements of two-staged gas turbine combustion for hydrogen enrichment of hydrocarbons
Problem. High operating pressures in gas turbine destroys the flame. To investigate the effects of initial temperature, addition of hydrogen and operating pressures above atmospheric in sequential increase up to 32 bar. Read more
Novel hybrid modelling approach and solution algorithms for optimal synthesis and design of industrial CO2 utilisation processes
The increase of anthropogenic CO. 2. emissions from the utilization and conversion of fossil fuel has been a global concern as it led to unintended consequences on global warming and climate change. Read more
Efficient Compositional Simulation of Reactive Transport in CO2 Storage
CO. 2. injection into geological formations triggers complex physical and chemical interactions at different time and length scales, which are critical to the evaluation of subsurface capacities, operational risks, and storage safety. Read more
Experimental and Simulation Study on Mitigation of Fire and Explosion Using Water Mist
There has been a great deal of interest in the use of water based explosion suppression systems, designed to mitigate or reduce the impact of thermal explosions and their consequential overpressures. Read more
Has the way we teach engineering and science helped to cause climate change?
Since the industrial revolution and the development of the science upon which it was built--equilibrium thermodynamics, chemistry, energy transfer and so on--education in science has tended to introduce key concepts in simplified ways. Read more
Modelling and understanding induction heating for additive manufacturing PhD or MSc by Research
We are looking for a motivated candidate to pursue PhD / MSc by Research based on a project entitled “Modelling and understanding induction heating for additive manufacturing”. Read more
Study Engineering in the USA with the George Washington University
Doctoral students comprise the backbone of research conducted at the School of Engineering & Applied Science. Through funding support from faculty, internal and external grants, doctoral students can expect to take 4-6 years to complete the program through coursework, research credits and writing their dissertation. Read more
Simulation, optimization and control of fluid catalytic cracking unit for CO2 minimization
Research Group:
Mechanical and Process Engineering
The simulation model of Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) unit and many other refinery processes maximise the yields of fuels such as gasoline, diesel, propylene and minimise the yields of CO2. Read more
Feasibility study of heavy metal mining from subsurface reservoirs for renewable energy storage
Heavy metal demand is expected to increase as more of the world turns to electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems. However, current supply of heavy metals is not sufficient to meet energy transition targets over the next decade due to limited available resources. Read more
Laboratory investigation, surface complexation and molecular dynamics modelling of silica-brine-CO2 interfacial properties
CO. 2. injection into deep aquifers aquifers or depleted oil reservoirs is a promising method for safe carbon geological storage (CGS). Read more
Fluid Flow of Colloidal Suspensions in Subsurface Porous Media: Application to Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) Processes
Different chemicals such as surfactants and polymers are used in the oil and gas sector (e.g., in oil recovery) and also during CO2 storage projects (CCUS). Read more
AI/Machine Learning for chemical process monitoring and design in the manufacture of green chemicals
At Aberdeen, we have several lines of research around the manufacture of green chemicals. For example, we are building plasma catalysis reactors to reform biomethane and/or carbon dioxide into more valuable chemicals as part of a Leverhulme trust sponsored doctoral training centre. Read more
