"Diesel engine combustion analysis using in-cylinder monitoring"

A postgraduate student is sought who will undertake research on an EPSRC-funded project with industrial support from Ford and Cambustion. The research will focus on understanding the combustion process in automotive diesel engines operating under the demanding constraints of high charge dilution transient operation.

The project will involve primarily experimental research, using a new high-speed single-cylinder research engine combined with rapid emissions measurement and optical diagnostics equipment. The researcher will gain advanced skills and knowledge widely applicable in thermo-fluids research in both industry and academia. The project will involve collaboration with other researchers at Loughborough and with staff at Ford and Cambustion.

The project will be supervised by Dr. Gordon McTaggart-Cowan, Lecturer in Thermofluids, and Professor Colin Garner, Perkins/Royal Academy of Engineering Professor of Applied Thermodynamics.

Loughborough has an extensive track record in engine research, with particular experience in optical assessment of charge motion and combustion processes. Technical support for the project is available from experienced technicians and research associates. The internal combustion engine powertrain laboratory comprises eight engine test cells equipped with extensive emissions measurement capabilities and a wide range of optical, single, and multi-cylinder engines. Further information about the department, researchers, and facilities can be found at: www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/mm.

Applicants should hold at least a 2:1 honours degree [or equivalent] in engineering or a related subject. They should be highly motivated and have good communication skills. Previous industrial or research experience would be an asset but is not essential.

The PhD studentship includes a tax-free bursary of at least £12,600 per annum for 3 years, plus fees (at home rates). Funding for outstanding international candidates is also available. The start-date is negotiable but July 1, 2008 would be preferred.

Informal inquiries should be directed to Dr. McTaggart-Cowan at: g.mctaggart-cowan@lboro.ac.uk, or by telephone at +44 (0) 1509 227575
