In this thesis, a numerical model with detailed reaction mechanism which is tailored for studying the behaviour of combustion of natural gas has been introduced and validated with available experimental data. The numerical model attempts to comprehensively simulate the physical conditions (temperature and pressure), equivalent ratio, and fuel dilution and strain rate effect in the laminar flames.

The objective of this research is to identify potential impact on power generation in developed and developing countries. The study includes two case studies; a) power generation in a developing country and b) Power generation in a developed country. The study examines impact of climate change on power generation over a period of 100 years (2010-2100) in these two diverse countries.

The aim of this Master of Engineering (MEng) - Aerospace thesis is to study the structural response and failure of aerospace grade composites during exposure to fire. Key aspects of the research are to analyse the thermal and mechanical responses of laminates and sandwich composites in high temperature and fire environments, which result in softening and structural failure. The research is concentrated on carbon/epoxy laminates and sandwich composites, which are the most common composite materials used in aerospace structures.

This study focuses on the stability of nano-emulsions produced by phase inversion temperature method using n-Decane and n-Dodecane as the dispersed phase and pure water/brine as the aqueous phase (continuous phase). A non-ionic surfactant (Brij 30) was used in the preparation of the nano-emulsions. Three different types salt namely \(NaCl\), \(KCl\) and \(MgC{l_2}\) were used at different concentrations.

The focus of this study is to investigate its optical and conductive properties under different conditions of doping environments, temperature and polymerization conditions. Optical characterization technique such as UV-Visible spectroscopy is developed to carry out the investigation. The developed nanofibers have been demonstrated to possess optical and conductive properties to be dependent on doping variables. Study of these optical properties could prove very useful in the development of electrochromic devices and gas sensors.

In international pistol shooting competition the performance improvement needed to be able to move into a medal winning position in a final from fourth position is 1.5 points (Bedford et al., 2012). It may be expected therefore, that by providing a method of reducing tremor resulting in a corresponding performance improvement. This research consists of two studies investigating the physiological response and the shooting performance of elite pistol shooters.

The main objective of this research is to optimize the design of the Tunnel kiln for efficient fuel usage. To achieve that, the temperature distribution from the simulation needs be matched with the desired Tunnel kiln curve found in industry. This objective can be achieved by CFD simulation where temperature, velocity and emission distributions inside the Tunnel kiln can be obtained. Generated temperature distribution can be matched with the industrial curve and by interpreting the curve, efficient design can be suggested.

The proposed research aims to investigate the influences of temperature on the water retention behaviour of deformable unsaturated soil. Volume change caused by temperature variation will be taken into consideration. This research will produce a better understanding and interpretation of thermal effects on SWCCs by providing experimental results for deformable unsaturated soils.

Municipal wastewater treatment plants generally utilise biological activated sludge processes to remove organic compounds and nitrogen. The biological nitrogen removal (BNR) occurs in two steps, nitrification (ammonium removal) and denitrification (nitrates removal). This study focused on a medium-sized wastewater treatment plant (WTP) which experienced poor nitrification for years, mainly when the weather temperature drops.

The objective of this study is to investigate the hotspot (fires and other thermal anomalies) detection and characterization product from the TET-1 satellite sensing system from the German Aerospace Centre (DLR). The satellite is envisioned, as part of a constellation of satellites, to provide detection and characterization of fires at a higher spatial resolution when compared to the current standard global coverage from the MODIS fire products.

This thesis has two key results, a study on the effect of carbon in electron-beam deposited platinum nano-wires and a novel temperature sensing glass substrate for marker-free thermometry. The thesis focus on the effect of carbon contamination in plasmonic nano-wires composed mainly of platinum produced from FEBID. Because carbon acts as an insulator in the platinum/carbon composite, we model the effect of carbon impurities by reducing the charge carrier concentration inthe platinumwire.

The main aim of this investigation was to develop a low-cost solution to remove trace metals from the aqueous phase using biochar. This study investigated (i) the effect of giant reed-based biochar produced at varying temperatures in the treatment of aqueous solutions polluted with lead; and (ii) how the production of biochar at different temperatures affected its adsorption capacity for lead from the aqueous phase.

Thermostable and highly water-soluble polymers are essential for polymer flooding — one of the most effective methods used in the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in hightemperature (HT) offshore reservoirs. In this research, the copolymerization reaction of acrylamide (AM) and N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) monomers were performed via a freeradical mechanism induced by gamma-rays (γ-rays) irradiation.

Industrial garden is a new approach, especially for competition in increasing pollution in the atmosphere. It helps easily to beautify the industrial areas. The lawn laid in vacant lands not only adds beauty but also cut down dust. These gardens are designed to reduce pollution and beautify the world. These units are the most sources of air, water, noise and soil pollution.
