Mechanical Engineering (gas turbine) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 17 Mechanical Engineering (gas turbine) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Combined Cycle Gas Turbine – CCS; experiment and modelling

This project will combine an experimental and modelling study of a combined cycle gas turbine with CCS. A Turbec T100 gas turbine will be modified to allow the investigation of the effect of exhaust gas recycle and or steam injection on its performance, with measurement of power output and exhaust gas emissions.

Mid-infrared Laser Amplifiers for Tomographic Imaging of Chemical Species in Gas Turbine Combustion and Green Aviation

Supervisory Team: Prof Johan Nilsson, Prof Jayanta Sahu . Project description. University of Southampton is seeking a committed candidate for laser research towards green aviation and net-zero carbon emission from gas turbines within the LITECS programme. Read more

PhD Studentship in Development of a vibration management concept for gas turbine engines

Applications are invited for a research studentship in the field of future aeroengine technology, leading to the award of a PhD degree. The post is supported by a bursary and fees (at the UK student rate) provided by the EPSRC, with a generous bursary top-up from industrial funds. EPSRC candidates should fulfil the eligibility criteria for the award. .

Failure Fundamentals: Understanding the role of Hydrogen in Jet Engine Failure

The Department of Materials at Imperial College London, as part of the new CDT in Materials 4.0, is looking for a candidate to undertake a PhD project in the field of Metallurgy, investigating failure in jet engine materials. Read more

Novel Generative Adversarial Networks for Rapid Engineering Design

Supervisory Team: Dr. David Toal. Project description. Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (cGANs) have gained notoriety in the media for their ability to create so-called “deep fakes” but their power can also be harnessed to provide predictions of optimal engineering designs. Read more

Integration of membranes at PACT for industrial testing with real/synthetic flue gases

A pre-pilot-scale membrane module prototype will be installed for industrial testing at the UKCCSRC PACT) Facilities, integrated with a gas turbine and a solid fuel reactor for coal/biomass to test number of fuels and operating conditions. Read more

Flame and Acoustic Wave Interactions

Thermoacoustic instability is an unresolved problem in combustion devices such as gas turbine and jet engine. When the acoustic pressure is coupled with the heat release fluctuation, very strong oscillation may occur, which may even damage the hardware component to cause high losses. Read more

Flame Dynamics at Elevated Pressure

Many combustion devices such as a gas turbine combustor are working at high pressure. To know the flame dynamics at elevated pressure is of great importance. Read more
