Pattern Formation in Dissolving Rocks as a Tool to Reconstruct Paleoclimate
We seek a PhD student interested in research on pattern formation in dissolving porous rocks. The interdisciplinary project involves laboratory experiments and field work on rock dissolution processes. Read more
Advanced experimental methods in propulsion aerodynamics PhD
Applications are invited for fully funded PhD studentship in the area of experimental aerodynamics within the Propulsion Engineering Centre at Cranfield University. Read more
Highly selective synthesis of LPG from CO2 hydrogenation over bifunctional catalysts comprising modified methanol synthesis catalyst and hydrophobic zeolite
Academic Supervisor. Dr Nancy Artioli. Industrial supervisor: Dr Keith Simons. Context. CO. 2. hydrogenation is an effective measure for the reduction of CO. 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
Physics Informed Machine Learning for Gas Solids Multi-Phase Flow Characterisation
Project Reference Number. Please refer to project number SCEBE-21SF-PIML -McGlinchey. Background. Read more
Numerical simulation of Deflagration, Detonation and DDT in large scale inhomogeneous reactive mixtures
Demand for energy and petrochemical products has been on the raise in recent decades leading to huge production, transportation and storage infrastructures all around the world. 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
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
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
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
