What is being bought

Published requirement description

The University of Sheffield (UoS) with funding from European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is establishing a shock tube laboratory as part of its brand-new Translational Energy Research Centre (TERC). The intention of the shock tube is to study high-pressure chemical kinetics of combustion reactions using various diagnostic equipment.

The shock tube will be used to study high-pressure and high-temperature chemical kinetics of hydrogen and methane combustion, before moving onto syngas and larger hydrocarbons. The tube will focus on high-pressure combustion applications, such as the Allam-Fetvedt cycle, diesel engine and scram-jet combustion

The shock tube will be used to study high-pressure and high-temperature chemical kinetics of hydrogen and methane combustion, before moving onto syngas and larger hydrocarbons. The shock tube will focus on high-pressure combustion applications, such as the Allam-Fetvedt cycle, diesel engine and scram-jet combustion.

The UoS Shock Tube based at TERC will be used to study high-pressure combustion and produce data which will subsequently be used to create a chemical kinetic mechanism for modelling high-pressure combustion.

Contract period: 1 Aug 2021 – 1 Oct 2021 (2 mo)
Delivery: Yorkshire & Humber · The University of Sheffield, at a new research facility known as the Translational Energy Research Centre, which is located close to Junction 33 of the M1 motorway.
