Chemical Engineering (investigation) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 18 Chemical Engineering (investigation) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Multiscale investigation of corrosion deposition in high temperature high pressure water for nuclear power plants

We are pleased to present an exciting PhD opportunity in collaboration with Rolls-Royce, providing a unique chance for candidates to participate in a multiscale investigation of corrosion deposition in high-temperature, high-pressure water for nuclear power plants. Read more

An investigation into droplet splashing and levitation phenomena in multiphase systems

PROJECT SUMMARY (a short summary - max 40 words).  . With this project, we propose an investigation into a variety of dynamics and effects produced by the interaction of a droplet or a group of droplets with a solid or liquid surface. Read more

Investigation and modification of surface treatments for attracting and capturing microfibres dispersed in aqueous environments

Microplastic pollution is a well-known environmental concern. The continuous increase in the production and use of plastics in various forms in combination with a lack of waste management in their disposal continues to contribute towards contamination. Read more

Investigation into the Impact of Material Properties on the Gas Transport Behaviour of Polyolefin Materials

The sustainable use of polymeric materials is underpinned by ensuring long service life in all industries and applications. Understanding durability requires research into the effects of both manufacturing methods and environmental storage conditions on the material properties and performance over time. Read more

Thermally driven flows in solidification processes

PROJECT SUMMARY (a short summary - max 40 words). With this project, we propose a numerical investigation into a variety of dynamics and effects produced by the interaction of an advancing solidification front with thermally-driven convection in the melt. Read more

Fully-funded PhD Studentship in The Corrosion of Magnox Spent Nuclear Fuel

The safe storage of the UK’s nuclear legacy is one of the key aims for Sellafield. Part of that legacy, Magnox reactors were fuelled using uranium metal rods clad in a magnesium-aluminium alloy. Read more

Study of turbulence in fusion technology using high fidelity simulations

A fully-funded PhD Studentship with an enhanced stipend of £2,500 for 3.5 years is available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Sheffield to study turbulence in fusion technology using advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Read more

Efficient Cryostasis for Transport of Liquid Hydrogen

Supervisory Team: Edward Richardson; Stephen Turnock. Project description. Liquid hydrogen (LH2) storage and transport enables flexible exploitation of potentially carbon-free energy. Read more

Control of Membrane Fouling by Vibrations

Supervisory Team.   Dr Anatoliy Vorobev, Dr Zheng Jiang, Dr Peter Glynne-Jones. Project description. Membrane filtration has emerged as an essential component of industrial processes that involve separation (or purification) of substances. Read more

Energy Storage Modelling

Supervisory Team.   Prof Andrew Cruden, Prof Richard Wills, Prof Suleiman Sharkh. Project description. Applications are invited for a fully-funded PhD studentship to investigate the electrical, thermal and economic modelling of a range of electrical energy storage types (e.g. Read more
