3 Beasiswa S3 Engineering di Inggris

UK] 3 PhD studentships (two in collaboration with industries) Advanced Engine Combustion Technology
Deadline: 20 June 2007

Three fully funded PhD studentships are available for candidates who are interested in carrying out research on the development of diesel engines for low carbon emissions. The students working on these projects will be registered for a degree of PhD at the School of Engineering and Design, Brunel University. Research on internal combustion engines and their fuels at Brunel University is internationally leading and amongst the most active in Europe. The group's expertise covers both experimental and theoretical studies, and is aimed at minimizing pollutant emissions and improving fuel efficiency of gasoline and diesel engines.
The main focus of this project will be on the understanding of the use of advanced bio-fuels in diesel engines, mainly to study the fuel effects on the in-cylinder combustion and the exhaust emissions. The research project involves both experimental and theoretical work. Various experimental techniques such as LIF, LII and sampling will be employed in these projects. The experimental work will be carried out in an (optical) diesel engine. Extensive theoretical work will be carried out to analyse the experimental data.

Candidates should have Bachelors or Masters Degree with a 1st or 2:1 (or equivalent) in a relevant engineering or sciences discipline, with a background in engines or with an interest in the use of lasers and optics. Good experimental skills and knowledge in computer programming would be greatly beneficial. Funding for the successful candidate will include the payment of tuition fees and a stipend currently at £12,300 per year, for 3 years.

Candidates should send a CV, together with the names of two referees (at least one academic), to the project supervisor Dr. L C Ganippa as soon as possible, by *20th June* 2007. Short listed candidates will be called for an interview and successful candidates are expected to start immediately or as early as possible.
