Research Ethics and Integrity at the School of Engineering

School Requirement

The School requires that all research carried out by its members is of the highest scientific and ethical standards, and follows the University's guidelines:

Power plants constitute one of the largest CO2 emitting sectors. With increased emphasis on abatement of emissions to meet the 2030 deadline set by the UK Committee on Climate Change, the power-plant sector is relying on CCS retrofits using post-combustion capture to clean up flue gases. However, despite the highly transient nature of power plant operation characterised by frequent shut-downs and start-ups (up to twice a day), the retrofits are currently designed for a constant base-load operation and hence cannot maintain even liquid distribution during unsteady loading.

Research Themes: 

  • Carbon Capture and Separation Processes
  • Multiphase flows, interfaces and phase change from nano- to macro-scales
Waves generated during two-phase flow - DNS result generated by TPLS

Carbon emissions from fossil fuel combustion and change in land use are forcing a rapid increase in atmospheric CO2 levels leading to climate change. The initial implementation of plans to reduce the levels of CO2 is based on a combination of increased use of renewable energy and the implementation of carbon capture and storage from industrial sources and power plants on a wide scale.
