Political and Economic Reasons for Energy Cooperation between the EU and Russia
Evgrafova, Elena ; Svoboda, Karel (advisor) ; Romancov, Michael (referee)
In this paper I investigate the energy cooperation between the EU and Russia from the political and economic points of view. The relevance of the issue is due to the growing role of energy sector, the need for security of energy supply and demand and for political and economic balance of power in the region, and closer economic integration. Two theoretical approaches, geopolitical and bureaucratic, guiding the research, explain the behavior of protagonists. To better understand the present level of cooperation I analyze the background and dynamics of EU - Russia energy trade relations. As a case study, I investigate the Nord Stream project as an example of successful cooperation of Germany as an EU member state and Russia in this field. I discuss challenges for the healthy mutual partnership in the energy sector, namely, high politicization of the issue, monopolization of Russian energy sector and low sustainability of Russian economic development, and mistrust between the protagonists. I attempt to identify possible policy changes aimed to improve this cooperation and achieve fruitful partnership, security and stability. Key words: Russia, EU, energy, cooperation, Realpolitik, international relations, oil, gas, energy dialogue, ECT, security, balance of power, geopolitics, interest groups,...

Study of variants of sewerage in the village Vír
Macík, Ondřej ; Macsek, Tomáš (referee) ; Hluštík, Petr (advisor)
Most of the municipalities in Czech republic have old or even disfunctional sewage systems for built up communal areas. General combined sewage systems built earlier are being today replaced by solutions separating rain waters and sewage waters. Municipality Vír has currently only few sewage branches that consequently flow into Svratka river. Aim of this Diploma Thesis is to propose 3 solutions for sewage produced in communal areas of Vír municipality and its consequent disposal in sewage treatment plant. Each of three solutions feature combined gravity-driven and pressure systems of sewage lines as well as water treatment in proposed MTB as well as household and container WTP. Each of three variant is economically weighed with proposed budget.

Crossroad I/38 a III/4117 near Blížkovice - Study
Herzog, Martin ; Lazar, Zbyněk (referee) ; Radimský, Michal (advisor)
Subject of the bachelor thesis is a study of adjusting T-intersection crossway of roads I/38 and III/4117 near Blizkovice. The current state of the intersection seems unsatisfactory and dangerous when turning left and when exiting from a side road. The aim of this work is to design a modification solution with a requirement for a smooth and safe passage through the intersection in all directions and to ensure that the relocation of the high-pressure gas pipeline does not occur. Three variants of a possible solution were proposed and one of them was chosen that meets all the criteria.

Evaluation of Smap3D software as a tool for design of evaporation system
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.

Short-term and medium-term rehabilitation plan for selected sewer network
Chromík, Radek ; Lžičař, Jakub (referee) ; Raclavský, Jaroslav (advisor)
The author of the thesis deals with the issue of the short-term and medium-term rehabilitation plan for selected sewer netwotk. Resolved area for this work is the town of Břeclav. The Contracting Authority selected the area of interest that falls within the cadastral territory of Břeclav - Poštorná. The aim of the thesis is to elaborate a short-term and medium-term strategy of remediation of a selected part of the sewerage network for the need of a recovery plan.

Steam turbine - pipeline design
Kotas, Jakub ; Kracík, Petr (referee) ; Fiedler, Jan (advisor)
The master thesis deals with the design, tracing and dimensioning of condensate pipeline. In the beginning, a preliminary calculation of heat balance is done. It is followed by a description of the main condensate system supplemented by the computational design of pipeline and the calculation of pressure losses in this pipeline. The crucial part of the thesis is the calculation of pressure losses, which is done in two ways. The first approach to calculation of pressure losses in the pipeline is calculated using values of representative resistance coefficient for pipe ele-ments using Idelchik literature and for individual types of valves using values from datasheets of Siemens Energy suppliers. In the second approach to calculation representative resistance coefficients for pipe elements and individual types of valves CRANE literature are used. Then both approaches of choosing representative resistance coefficients are compared and evaluated. Based on the calculated values, a suitable pump is selected at the end of the master thesis.

Instruction level parallelism in modern processors
Sláma, Pavel ; Levek, Vladimír (referee) ; Pristach, Marián (advisor)
Basic methodology that exploits instruction level parallelism is called pipelining and it is part of every processor for decades. The ideal pipeline increases performance and efficiency for a relatively small cost. But the real pipeline has number of limitations caused by dependencies and hazards between instructions. The aim of this thesis is to discuss techniques used to improve efficency and performance of pipelined processors, to implement selected techniques to a RISC processor model and discuss its benefits.

Cost-efficient design of high pressure gas pipeline
Šrámková, Veronika ; Pernica, Marek (referee) ; Létal, Tomáš (advisor)
The aim of this thesis was the cost-efficient design of high pressure gas pipeline with a maximum capacity 40 mil.Nm3/day and a length of the pipeline 100 km. The economic design consisted of analyzing and comparing expenses for three different pipelines over a 20-year period. The thesis includes the design of pipe dimensions with proposed thickness of pipe walls according to STN EN 1594: 2014 and ISO 4200: 2010. Software Simone was used in order to determine the pressure loss and the number of compressor stations. Software calculated the necessary power of compressor stations and fuel gas consumption as well. Based on the necessary power, the most economically advantageous gas turbine compressors were chosen for each compressor station. The capital expenditures consisted of the price for compressor stations together with gas pipelines. The operating expenditures for 20 years were added to these costs. In conclusion of the thesis, a comparison of expenditures for all 3 variants was conducted. Based on the results, it can be stated that the most economically advantageous variant of the construction is a gas pipeline with a diameter DN1000.
