Course Description

Our PhD Mechanical Engineering course is supervised by our Engineering Analysis, Simulation and Tribology (EAST) research group. EAST embraces the core disciplines of thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer. Our research is focussed on the modelling of renewable energy bio-mass gasification, algae, solar evaporation systems, the tribological life-cycle (wear and scuffing) analysis, boundary lubrication "clean technology" aspects of internal combustion (IC) engines. Our fluid flow and convective heat transfer research is being conducted on the theory of convection in tube bundle cross flow optimisation and jet-flows. The theoretical research concentrates on CFD and finite element (FE) studies (simulation tools). We also carry out research in a three-phase slurry flow optimisation.
