Magnetostrophic Flow in Experiments and the Core of the Earth (MFECE)
Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2016,
"We describe here an innovative strategy for understanding the so-called magnetostrophic regime of fluid flow in the Earth s core, and thus the mechanisms by which the Earth s magnetic field is sustained over time. The magnetostrophic regime is the state in which Lorentz (magnetic) forces are balanced by Coriolis (rotational) forces and pressure gradients and is thought to be the zeroth order forc ...

Development of novel sintered sphere filtering technique for moulding opaper pulp to reduce energy consumption and environmental effects of plastic (SINFILTRATE)
Start date: Jul 15, 2008, End date: Oct 14, 2010,
"China poses a major competitive threat to the European market for the manufacture of products for packaging. Moulded Paper Products (MPP) from China are up 20% cheaper than the equivalent EU products. Due to continued increase in prices there is a need for the EU industry to reduce cost affiliated with low energy efficiencies. A major portion of recovered fibre is sourced from local SMEs such as ...

Development of an efficient technique for the reduction of waste in sheeting dough processing in the baking industry (REDUXDO)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2010,
"Current dough-sheeting process produces up to 30% of waste (The mass of waste is of 20% order of the end-product produced). The average cost of waste is €100/tonne (including landfill or incineration tax, administration, transport and raw material cost). Such high cost has burdened the industry greatly, and SMEs are particularly vulnerable to further increase of landfill tax. In response to the c ...
