Ultrasonic measurement of H2 & H2 Blends to enable a sustainable energy future for all (H2MET)

The primary aim of the H2METproject is to carryout fundamental research into design of ultrasound transducers applicable to the emerging industrial hydrogen metering requirement, particularly devices that are able to operate at elevated pressure (up to 1000bar in extreme cases). Specifically, this PhD project would involve:(1) Simulation (finite element) to study behaviour of novel ultrasonic transducer design(s) for operation in pressurised H2 (both pure & blends of various combinations) that might be encountered in hydrogen use cases.(2) Proof-of-concept prototype fabrication/characterisation of novel transducers to generate/receive strong ultrasonic signal for measurement in H2 and other unconventional gases.(3) Test POC prototype transducer in H2 loop (NEL Facility) to demonstrate viability in N2/H2/CH4 blends in atmospheric pressure and also at Hy-Met test setup at Tyseley Energy Park for H2/other blends at slightly elevated pressure (max 150 bar).
