School of Engineering Scholarships for UK/EU and International Students at University of Warwick in UK

University of Warwick is offering scholarships
within the School of Engineering. Scholarships are awarded for a project
entitled “Adsorption refrigeration/heat pumping innovations in sorption
generator design”. The Scholarship will pay an annual stipend at the
standard rate (currently £13,726) and tuition fees at the Home/EU rate for
three years. Overseas students may apply and if successful would be required to
make up the difference in fees between the home and the overseas
rates. The application deadline is 30th June
2014.

Study Subject (s): Scholarships are awarded for a project entitled “Adsorption
refrigeration/heat pumping innovations in sorption generator design” within the
School of Engineering at University of Warwick.
Course Level: Scholarships are available for pursuing PhD,
MPhil, MSc R degree at University of Warwick in UK.
Scholarship Provider: This award is funded by the School of
Engineering in support of the RCUK funded Interdisciplinary Centre for Storage,
Transformation and Upgrading of Thermal Energy (i-STUTE).

Eligibility: The
Scholarship will pay an annual stipend at the standard rate (currently £13,726)
and tuition fees at the Home/EU rate for three years. Overseas students may
apply and, if successful would be required to make up the difference in fees
between the home and the overseas rates.
Scholarship Open for International Students: UK/EU and overseas students can apply for these scholarships.
Scholarship Description: This award is funded by the School of Engineering in support of the RCUK
funded Interdisciplinary Centre for Storage, Transformation and Upgrading of
Thermal Energy (i-STUTE). The energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness of
adsorption refrigerator or heat pump systems depend critically on the heat and
mass transfer within the sorption vessel together with its thermal mass. A
‘good design’ depends on integrating the conflicting requirements of enhanced heat
transfer, good mass transfer, low thermal mass , corrosion resistance,
resistance to extreme thermal and pressure cycling, all with the overarching
constraint of low production cost. The project can deal with one or more of
these areas as it develops, for example, enhancing heat transfer, novel
mechanical design and manufacturing techniques, optimisation for different
refrigerants (low pressure methanol v. high pressure ammonia), or alternative
thermodynamic cycles. Whatever the detailed topic there will be the need for
computational modelling (writing code in Matlab or similar), experimental
design and testing.
Duration of award(s): Scholarships are offered for three years.
What does it cover? The Scholarship will pay an annual stipend at the standard rate
(currently £13,726) and tuition fees at the Home/EU rate for three years.
