This PhD project, in association with BAE Systems, seeks to reveal and investigate novel solutions to deliver significant improvements in overall energy efficiency in maritime transport.
As a researcher on this project your aim will be to reveal and investigate new solutions to deliver significant improvements in overall energy efficiency. You'll consider minimisation, capture, reuse and integration of otherwise wasted heat and energy across the complex ship power and propulsion systems. You'll investigate: system configurations to repurpose waste energy to other useful functions; power take-offs and take-ins; introduction of novel waste energy recovery concepts such as organic Rankine cycles and cryogenic systems.
