    PhD Studentship: Joining Advanced Ceramics - Birmingham, United Kingdom - University of Birmingham

    Default job background
    Full time, Fixed-Term/Contract
    Description

    The aim of the research is to conduct R&D into ceramic and graphitic materials and structures for joins exceeding 2000°C.

    The goal is to assist with the design of thermal protection systems for high temperature vehicles, which conceptually require a means of managing heat flux from the heat source and outer material to the internal substructure. To minimise this heat flux, either a vacuum or an interlayer of insulating material between the heat source and inner body is required. For this PhD programme, the relevant steady state temperatures of the outer material is proposed by AWE to be in excess of 2000°C, whilst the maximum temperature of the internal substructure is anticipated to be ~600°C. Such temperatures will generate a high temperature gradient. The project will be supervised by Professor Jon Binner ).

    Funding notes:

    Funding is available from AWE to cover the students' fees and stipend, plus money for undertaking the experimental work as well as travel & subsistence.
