It’s the last day of our fire engineering 50th anniversary celebrations! 🔥 Thanks for joining us this week as we have shown how air, fuel and heat interact in different ways and talked about how #FireEngineering impacts so much of our lives. For this last experiment with Professor Rory Hadden, we have a fuel-air co-flow burner. Watch what happens to the shape of the flame when the airflow is changed in this tube experiment. #Fire50 College of Science and Engineering, The University of Edinburgh, The University of Edinburgh

We’re about to light up your curiosity with a demo of a scaled-down model of one of the very first types of rocket engines! 🔥🚀 👨🚀 Setup: a tube of plastic (polymethyl methacrylate). Action: oxygen flowing through the middle of the tube sets the stage for combustion. Ignition: watch as we light it from the bottom and see the flame shoot out! Control: our design keeps everything contained, making sure we safely get to see the action without lift off. Stay tuned for more one more experiment tomorrow with Professor Rory Hadden as part of our fire engineering 50th anniversary celebrations. #Fire50 #WorldSpaceWeek College of Science and Engineering, The University of Edinburgh, The University of Edinburgh

UoE Summer Internship in Carbon Capture I had the incredible opportunity to work on a project focused on modeling, designing, and demonstrating an absorption-reaction unit using Ionic Liquids (ILs) in hollow fiber contactors for integrated Carbon Capture. I spent a little over two months in the University of Edinburgh School of Engineering laboratory running experiments I designed with the guidance of my supervisors and PhD colleagues. Key Highlights of My Internship: 🔬 Research and Development: I explored the potential of Ionic Liquids as advanced materials for the capture and conversion of CO2, leveraging their selectivity and stability in the reactions. 📈 Thermodynamic and Kinetic Analysis: I implemented a thermodynamic platform using Python to evaluate the fluid-phase coexistence of multicomponent systems, paving the way for more efficient separation schemes. 🔧 Experimental Design and Validation: I assisted in designing an experimental setup for in-situ absorption and conversion, utilizing hollow fiber-ionic liquid contactors for enhanced CO2 absorption. This phase culminated in building the rig, conducting experiments, and performing spectroscopic analysis to characterize the resulting air streams. 🏆 Awards and Recognition: I achieved Runner-Up at the University of Edinburgh School of Engineering's annual poster presentation event where I presented my research on “Exploring Innovative Technologies for CO2 Capture” among a cohort of peers. Additionally, I am proud to have received the Edinburgh Award (Work Experience), recognizing my contributions during this internship. This experience not only deepened my technical expertise but also significantly enhanced my interpersonal skills. Collaborating closely with my supervisors and peers improved my communication, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities, preparing me to tackle complex challenges in future engineering endeavors. I would also like to express a huge thank you to my supervisors for allowing me to take on this incredible experience and for welcoming me into their research group. I am very grateful to my colleague (Benjamin (Benjo) Duheric) who supported me as I learned new lab techniques and navigated the complexities of the project. Your guidance and encouragement made all the difference in my journey. Throughout this internship, I gained invaluable insights into the intricacies of chemical processes and the importance of innovation in addressing climate change. I am passionate about advancing sustainable methods, and this experience has provided me with a strong foundation in this crucial field. I look forward to applying what I’ve learned in future opportunities! #CarbonCapture #SustainableChemistry #IonicLiquids #InternshipExperience #ChemicalEngineering #Innovation #Research #EdinburghAward

Fire tornado demo! 🌪️🔥 Setup: we start with a simple dish and some flammable liquid. Ignition: with a flame and a spin, initially, not much happens. Twist: introducing a mesh around our setup changes the game! 🔥 Transformation: a regular spin suddenly turns into a fire tornado! Key: it’s all about the airflow creating that spectacular spiral of flames. Stay tuned for more experiments over the next two days with Professor Rory Hadden as part of our fire #engineering 50th anniversary celebrations. #Fire50 College of Science and Engineering, The University of Edinburgh, The University of Edinburgh
