fluid behaviour and thermal effects arising from liquid-gas transitions.

Working with industrial partner Unilever, this project aims to investigate the role of liquid-gas transitions governing spray formation using experimental methods & computational modelling. The project has the objectives:

• Develop & operate lab set-up to measure thermodynamic properties for a range of formulations & propellants.
• Develop thermodynamic models using measured properties.
• Measure spray pattern properties of aerosol deodorants.
• Develop empirical models to predict spray pattern properties from thermodynamic data.

The student, with a skillset in Chemical Engineering/ Analytical Chemistry will develop a range of skills in measurement technique development, experimental methods, modelling & data analysis, as well as transferrable skills such as project management and communication. The outcome from this project will be used in the development of future spray products. The project will be based at the University of Birmingham and include short periods of working at Unilever Research & Development Labs in Port Sunlight – Wirral.
