Applications are invited for a PhD studentship in the Centre for Propulsion and Thermal Power Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Cranfield University, in the area of performance simulation, analysis, and optimization of supercritical CO2 power generation systems.
The aim of this PhD research is to develop novel performance simulation capabilities to support the analysis and optimization for sCO2 power generation systems. The developed new knowledge will assist performance designs, analysis, operations, and condition monitoring of sCO2 power generation systems. The project will be undertaken using the strong thermodynamic performance simulation capabilities for gas turbine engines developed at Cranfield University as the starting point.
This is a partially-funded PhD.
Sponsored by Cranfield University, this studentship offers a scholarship to UK or international applicants between 50% and 100% of the tuition fees. The level of funding will be based on the background and prior qualification of the applicants. The student will be responsible for any shortfall in his/her tuition fees and living expenses (such as accommodation, travel, food, entertainment, insurance, etc)
Applicants should have a first or second-class UK honours degree or equivalent degrees in mechanical engineering or a relevant area. An MSc degree or experience in gas turbine performance, thermal power generation system performance, and computer programming skills will be an advantage.
