Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
| Description | Collaboration with University of Leeds |
| Organisation | University of Leeds |
| Department | School of Mechanical Engineering Leeds |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | The University of Sheffield 'Machining the Future' project is linked to Leeds University's EPSRC funding on the same topic, where Leeds and Sheffield academics are co-investigators on the larger EPSRC project. See the funding details via the hyperlink below. There is a Collaboration Agreement between Sheffield, Leeds and an industrial partnership of six manufacturing companies. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Leeds providing specialisms in Tribology, Fluid Dynamics, Systems Modelling and Optimisation. Also Leeds have two Postdoctoral Research Fellows who will occasionally visit University of Sheffield to run trials. |
| Impact | Hardware-building and experiments are underway: no published outputs as yet. |
| Start Year | 2022 |

| Description | Presentation at 'Advanced Cooling' Event |
| Form Of Engagement Activity | A talk or presentation |
| Part Of Official Scheme? | No |
| Geographic Reach | International |
| Primary Audience | Industry/Business |
| Results and Impact | The event was held on the 15th September 2022, hosted by the Nuclear AMRC at Rotherham UK. Members of the project team made a 20 minute presentation on this project's aims, learning so far (including a brief literature review) and future test plans. The intention of the presentation was to raise awareness of supercritical CO2 cooling technology and the active EPSRC funded research project. After the presentation the project team members were approached by five industrialists (different organisations) who wanted to talk about how they might implement the technology in future, or how this might impact their businesses in terms of opportunities and threats. Attendees were from Europe and North America. |
