Opportunity Reference No: SWEE0251
Introductory Paragraph
Hydrogen energy increasingly becomes one of the major energy resources in the context of the world-wide efforts of tackling CO2 emission issues for transition towards the net-zero target. With the support of EPSRC and Endress+Hauser (E+H), this project aims to combine numerical and experimental methods to develop an novel solution to improve the H2 flow metering performances based on E+H's cutting edge Coriolis mass flow metering technologies. A minimum annual stipend of £19,237 (tax-free) plus fees for four years will be provided.
Main Copy (advised structure)
The successful candidates will investigate the heat transfer and fluid dynamics associated with the liquid and/or gaseous H2 transferred from one process to another using numerical and experimental methods. The study will particularly focus on flow behaviours during the initial stage of the H2 transferring process. During this stage the H2 fuel would be in a transient status and phase change could occur, hence multiphase flow could be involved. It is expected, based on an improved understanding of multi-phase flows on the transient stage in the meter section, recommendations for flow metering section design will be proposed to minimise the dead/un-metered volume of H2, hence improve the accuracy of flow metering.
This project offers a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of process measurement technology development. As a PhD student, you will receive training from the UKRI-funded doctoral training centres as well as promoted to participate in entrepreneurial, project management and technique specific training. You will also be a member of the multiphase flow and process systems engineering research community led by Dr Liyun Lao. You will benefit from the visit and training on the E+H's production and testing sites, and the interactions with the specialist team of the industrial sponsor. The student will also have opportunities to attend conferences to engage with world leading researchers and develop your professional network.
Entry requirements
Applicants should have a first or second class UK honours degree or equivalent in a related discipline
