FRED BAYLEY is professor emeritus in the University of Sussex, which he joined in 1966 as the founding Professor of Mechanical Engineering. He moved from Newcastle where after a spell in marine engineering on the Tyne he had become lecturer and, later, reader in the University Department of Mechanical Engineering. He has taught and researched in heat transfer and fluid mechanics while acting also as a consultant to the process and power industries. The experience thus gained has been applied to gas turbines and recently to hybrid vehicles. The UK Institution of Mechanical engineers awarded him the 2001 Dugald Clerk Prize for his paper on the saturated liquid accumulator to the Total Vehicle Conference. Professor Bailey is the principle inventor of the CESARS technology. |
