PhD Studentship Department of Mechanical Engineering University of Wales Swansea "Evaluation of non-intrusive mixing processes" In association with a industrial partner, the department is looking for a talented graduate to undertake an industrially driven research project in partnership with an engineering company. The project To carry out experimental investigation and computer modelling of novel mixing processes. The technology is brand new and used to mix paint and other complex fluids without opening the transport container to the atmosphere. This has significant environmental benefits when compared to standard packaging of viscous fluids, and a large quantity of waste is avoided. Several companies are using this new technology, and the project aims to improve the performance of the mixing process. The benefits · A scholarship of £6500pa plus fees paid. There is an industrial 'bonus' of approximately £2000pa available to the right candidate. · Study in a world class engineering faculty. · Live in a city next to the sea with excellent social, sporting and outdoor activities. · Travel to conferences in Europe and possibly further. · Gain valuable skills including knowledge of Fluent, the world leading computational fluid dynamics software. This will guarantee you a good job when you graduate. · Flexible hours, interesting work and a good supervisor. The person An engineering, science, mathematics or computer science graduate. No specific skills required, except the ability to set your own targets, be flexible in your approach and to learn quickly. Current MSc students are welcome to apply.
