Design and evaluation of process equipment damaged by degradation mechanisms
Cablková, Zuzana ; Naď, Martin (referee) ; Lošák, Pavel (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is aimed at the evaluation of selected degradation mechanisms which occurs in process equipment. The assessment is undoubtedly important in terms of safety and prediction of residual life. This issue is demonstrated by two mechanisms described in this thesis. A phenomenon called creep is the first of these mechanisms and appears in environments with elevated temperature. The theoretical part of the thesis covers the basic principles of the creep mechanism and its effect on the material. A marginal but not negligible problem is the occurrence of this damage in welded joints. Many standards deal with the prediction and assessment of creep. Part of this thesis is the mapping and to some extent a comparison of several selected procedures. The second degradation mechanism is related to the presence of aggressive compounds such as sulfide. This can lead to hydrogen embrittlement, blisters, and many other damages. As with creep, an overview of standards devoted to the design, evaluation, or maintenance of equipment used in this way is created for these mechanisms. The content of the practical part of this thesis is the calculation of the evaluation of such a device by using the procedures of the API 579-1 standard.

Burners for high-temperature industrial applications
Naď, Martin ; Hájek, Zdeněk (referee) ; Bělohradský, Petr (advisor)
The main purpose of the bachelor thesis is the discussion of different types of burners and their components. Emphasis is placed mainly on the combustion process with oxygen content more than 21 % in the combustion air, the so called oxygen-enhanced combustion (OEC). The thesis describes characteristic features, possibilities and appropriateness of its use. Since in handling of oxygen there is a level of risk of injury, the thesis also assesses the safety and risks associated therewith. As the combustion process in terms of OEC is significantly different from the conditions of combustion with the atmospheric air, the thesis analyses the impact of the content of oxygen in atmospheric air on flue gas temperature and fuel consumption.

The effect of boiler tube bundle fouling on its service life
Volná, Kateřina ; Ing. Zdeněk JŮZA, Ph.D., MBA (referee) ; Naď, Martin (advisor)
Fouling of tube bundles in boilers on the flue gas side affects not only the service life, but also the boiler heat output and increases maintenance and operating costs. Therefore, it is necessary to minimize or completely eliminate this process. This thesis focuses on comparison of the service life and the heat output of the tube bundles with and without deposit in the coal fired boiler. Simulations of flue gas flow in area of tube bundles with and without deposit are performed using ANSYS Fluent software, which shows that the surface of tube bundles with deposit is much less heated than the surface without deposit. The thermal loads of tubes obtained by the CFD analysis are applied to the model, which is created in the program ANSYS Mechanical, where the calculation of the temperature field in the cross section of the pipe is realized. The effect of fouling on creep life and heat output is then evaluated based on simulation results. The results show that fouling increases creep life, but significantly reduces heat output of heavily fouled tubes. Hence the flue gas flows at a higher temperature to the rest of the tube bundle, and the service life of those tubes will therefore probably decrease.

Control of algal bioreactors
Rek, David ; Naď, Martin (referee) ; Máša, Vítězslav (advisor)
The bachelor’s thesis discusses the matter of cultivation of microalgae in an artificially altered environment – bioreactor. The aim of the thesis is to determine and present the factors influencing the growth of microalgae and to find means of automated regulation of such factors. Nowadays, the majority of bioreactors are laboratory ones and are mostly being operated manually. The recent increase in demand for this technology results in many pilot-plant tests with a wide variety of microalgae. Tests such as these will be required to be automated to serve properly in future research. The thesis is based on professional literature and articles. The first part is to familiarize the reader with the wide number of potential applications of microalgae technology in various fields, such as the food industry, water treatment or separation of CO2 from ambient air or waste gas. The next segment presents the factors influencing the growth of microalgae and lastly the system of required equipment and sensors for automated operation is described. The bachelor’s thesis summarizes the important information necessary for the construction and unattended operation of microalgae bioreactor with respect to maximalization of productivity.

Odstrčil, Marek ; Naď, Martin (referee) ; Vondra, Marek (advisor)
The main goal of the master thesis is an evaluation of a software package Smap 3D Plant Design in design of evaporation technology, specifically 3D of the pipeline network and its subsequent documentation. The thesis describes evaporation technology in general, then the evaporator testing site in Laboratory of Energy Intensive Processes in NETME Centre is presented, where pipeline network needs to be designed. In the next part a reference 3D model was created as well as a documentation using SolidWorks routing. Subsequently, an equivalent 3D model was created using Smap 3D Plant Design – Piping and a documentation was created using Smap 3D Plant Design – Isometric. Finally, these two methods of creating pipeline were compared to each other, and recommended method was chosen.

Structural design of heat exchanger pair
Pernica, Marek ; Buzík, Jiří (referee) ; Naď, Martin (advisor)
This master’s thesis deals with structural design of twin heat exchanger with vertically stacked horizontal vessels according to CSN EN 13 445 standard. Brief introduction and basic characteristics of shell and tube heat exchangers is performed in the beginning part of the thesis. Design of the heat exchanger was initially performed using design by formula (DBF), which was verified by specialized software Sant´Ambrogio. Since this approach does not include methods for assessment of the nonstandard connection between the vessels, simulations of significant load states were performed using FEM analyses followed by result evaluation using stress categories.

Modelling of oxygen-enhanced combustion process
Naď, Martin ; Juřena, Tomáš (referee) ; Bělohradský, Petr (advisor)
The main purpose of the master´s thesis is the experimental study and the mathematical modelling of the combustion process in which the combustion air is enriched with the high-purity oxygen, i.e. the oxygen content is more than 21 %. This combustion technology is called as the oxygen-enhanced combustion (OEC). Since the experimental work required the manipulation with the pure oxygen, a part of the thesis is focused on risks and necessary safety associated therewith. The detailed description of the combustion chamber as well as of the components necessary for the operation of OEC is included. The main part of the thesis is the computational model of the combustion chamber and the simulation of OEC using CFD methods. The numerical results were then compared with the experimental data acquired during the combustion tests, namely the heat flux distribution along the combustion chamber and the distribution of in-flame temperatures in the horizontal symmetry plane of the chamber.
