Ash deposition process modeling for biomass based power plant
Biomass as a renewable fuel is considered to be CO2 neutral. Read more
Low cost, energy efficient biomethane production from landfill gas or biogas
Biomethane can be produced from biogas or landfill gas in a fairly simple water scrubbing system. This process has been used on large scale biogas plants but the optimal operation has not been fully investigated. Read more
Aviation Fuels degradation
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
Alternative Aviation Fuels Combustion Experiments
As a consequence of concern over increasing greenhouse gas emissions, along with issues of availability and security of supply of conventional fossil fuels, there is a growing pressure to consider the use of alternative fuels in the aviation sector. Read more
Alternative Aviation Fuels Kinetic Mechanism Development
Experimental investigations into alternative fuel performance, in flames and jet-stirred reactors provide a wealth of data to aid the development of chemical kinetic models of the combustion process. Read more
Optimising anaerobic co-digestion: improving the outputs and stability of anaerobic processes
Anaerobic co-digestion consists of the anaerobic digestion (AD) of a mixture of two or more substrates with complementary characteristics, so that biogas production, digestate characteristics and process stability are enhanced through their joint treatment. 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
Improved reactor design and operation for the anaerobic digestion of biowastes
Anaerobic digestion is usually carried out in single semi-continuous reactors, especially due to their simpler construction and operation. Read more
Development and validation of control strategies for flexible and demand-driven anaerobic digestion
Bioenergy and anaerobic digestion can have a major role as a source of dispatchable energy in future energy systems with high penetration of intermittent renewables. 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
Large Eddy Simulation Around Buildings (LES)
Computational Wind Engineering has been developing rapidly over the last couple of decades. Among the numerical techniques, Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is capable of simulating complex unsteady turbulent flows, which is very useful for applications such as wind-induced noise/vibrations around buildings and structures. Read more
Inflow generation for Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of the wind farms
Wind farms are large regions usually outside cities and include a number of wind turbines. An accurate simulation of the flow in the wind farm is essential in the design of the wind farm. Read more
Efficient PEM fuel cells for portable applications
Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells are an efficient technology which can be used in a wide portable, automotive and stationary applications. Read more
Novel technology to control the fire and explosion hazards of hydrogen fuel
Safe pressure relief systems are essential to protect high pressure storage tanks in emergency situations. Read more
Nanoscale imaging of the cathode electrodes used in PEM fuel cells
Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells are a promising clean power conversion technology as they are efficient and can operate at low temperatures. Read more
