M.Sc by research  Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology

Simple heat exchange technologies will be developed to convert the heat into a usable form for application in horticultural operations.

The performance of this heat will be compared to solar energy and conventional systems.

Other possible uses will also be determined for this new heat energy source and pilot studies will be carried out.

These projects are funded by the Department of Agriculture & Food under the Research Stimulus Fund Programme.

The project duration is 23 months and the successful candidates will be required to register for a M.Sc. in the School of Science, GMIT.

The practical element of the projects will be based in Mountbellow Agricultural College, while laboratory and office based work will be in GMIT's main Dublin road campus.
