Course Summary

Group members have been at the forefront of developing new flow metering technologies, from first concept through to final commercial product, for over 20 years. There is particular expertise in the technique known as Coriolis mass flow metering, which is widely used throughout the energy, pharmaceutical, chemical and food and beverage industries.While Coriolis meters are known to be accurate when measuring either pure liquids or pure gases, for example measuring to within ± 0.1% for liquids, in the past poor accuracy is achieved when measuring mixtures of liquid and gas. This is of practical importance in many applications, for example in oil and gas, or chemical applications. The group’s novel use of digital electronics, advanced signal processing, and neural networks has enabled the development of new Coriolis meters which have successfully been used in operations ranging from oils fields to ship refuelling. Activities range from the demonstration of first principles using prototype devices through to developing commercial products with flow meter manufacturers as partners.Currently, there is focus of developing fast flow measurement, for example measuring the stream of 1 millisecond fuel injection pulses in an internal combustion engine developing optimising Coriolis meters for working with hydrogen, for example at filling stations for ‘green’ vehicles and improved operation in multiphase flow mixtures, from oil and gas to carbon dioxide in carbon capture and storage applications.

Entry requirements

A minimum of a 2:1 first degree in a relevant discipline/subject area with a minimum 60% mark in the project element or equivalent with a minimum 60% overall module average. In the event of a first degree classification of less than 2:1, a Masters Degree in a relevant subject area will be considered as an equivalent. The Masters must have been attained with minimum overall marks at merit level (60%)*. In addition, the dissertation or equivalent element in the Masters must also have been attained with a minimum mark of merit level (60%). Or higher where stipulated against a specific opportunity.
