The current opportunity is available for current Manchester Met students, to apply you must be based in the UK for the duration of the role.
Syscada has developed a novel electrolytic process for producing hydroxyl gas (HHO) by cracking water into hydrogen and oxygen in a safe, controlled manner. This feasibility project tends to validate the use of HHO as a cleaner and sustainable zero-carbon fuel for heavy-duty engine applications, thus improving efficiency and reducing emissions.
In this project you will work with Dr Olawole Kuti and a technical staff in developing a retrofit which will be added to an existing diesel engine to enhance the delivery of the HHO fuel. Furthermore, you will engage in the instrumentation of the existing engine, test the HHO fuel in the retrofitted engine and acquire combustion and emission data.
This is an exciting opportunity to work on a novel project promoting the HHO as a zero carbon fuel that has prospects of decarbonising the energy systems used in the transportation sector. The decarbonisation of the transportation sector is expected to contribute to the UK ambition in achieving net zero beyond 2030. In this project, you will develop yourself in becoming an expert in clean and sustainable energy systems.
