PhD
Scholarships on Predictive Models for the Combustion of Multicomponent Biofuels
at University of Sydney in Australia 2013
Study
Subject(s):
Study subject is predictive models for the combustion of multicomponent
biofuels
Course Level:
This scholarship is available for pursuing PhD degree program.
Scholarship
Provider: University of Sydney.
Scholarship can
be taken at: Australia
Eligibility: Applicants should have
completed a master’s degree or a bachelor’s degree with first or upper second
class honours in mechanical engineering or a related field and have a strong
aptitude for computational fluid dynamics and computer programming.
International students may apply but must be in receipt of a tuition fee
scholarship from an external funding source.
Scholarship
Open for Students of Following Countries: Scholarship is open for
International and Australian Students.
Scholarship
Description: Up
to two PhD scholarships are available to conduct research into advanced,
computationally efficient models for predicting pollutant emissions from the
turbulent combustion of biofuels. Although biofuels may be carbon-neutral there
is a need to ensure that emissions of toxic gases such as NOx and CO are low
and that the future widespread use of biofuels does not lead to harmful levels
of urban air pollution. The models will make use of large eddy simulations and
Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes solvers implemented in open-source software.
Number of
awards offered: Up
to two PhD scholarships are available.
Duration of
Award: Scholarship
is awarded for 3 years.
What does it
Covers: The
