Small-scale electrostatic precipitator for domestic wood-burning appliances
Kantor, Tomáš ; Baláš, Marek (referee) ; Brázdil, Marian (advisor)
Master thesis deals with design of electrostatic precipitator for domestic wood-burning appliances. In the opening chapters, principles of electrostatic precipitation are described and a study of existing electrostatic precipitators for domestic combustion devices is made. In the practical part of the thesis, a mathematical model of electrostatic precipitator was created. Based on the mathematical model, electrostatic precipitator was designed and its performance parameters predicted.

Application of a novel continuous sampler for the determination of compounds in ultrafine aerosol
Hlaváčková, Hana ; Řezáčová, Veronika (referee) ; Alexa,, Lukáš (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on the use of new type of continuous sampler for the determination of compounds in ultra-fine aerosol. The aim of the study was to optimize parameters of the aerosol sampler CGU-ACTJU (Condensation-Growth Unit – Aerosol Counterflow Two-Jets Unit) and its application for the real aerosol samples. The ACTJU sampler connected to upstreamed CGU enables sampling of ultra-fine fraction of particulate matter to the diameter about few nanometers. The measured results from CGU-ACTJU were compared with commercial sampler (cascade impactor) with subsequent offline analysis. The atmospheric aerosol was sampled in two campaigns (July–August 2021 and February 2022) on the terrace of Institute of Analytical Chemistry of CAS in Brno. Theoretical part of the study contains information about analytical methods for the characterization of aerosol, the experimental part describes used methods in detail and the results of experiments are discussed.

Influence of traffic volume and meteorological conditions on the air pollution
Vojtěchová, Ivana ; Kotlík, Josef (referee) ; Adamec,, Vladimír (advisor)
Transport, whose intensity year by year increase, has assuredly influence on air quality. This issue solution will be focused especially on localities burden with transport in urban areas. The contribution of transport to increased values of air pollution will be evaluated with regards to meteorological conditions. Background stations from Czech Hydrometeorological Institute categorization will be chosen such as comparative sites. Pollutants emitted from traffic such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide will be observed except meteorological conditions.

Spatio-temporal distribution of atmospheric aerosol in urban and rural environment
Bendl, Jan ; Hovorka, Jan (advisor) ; Mikuška, Pavel (referee) ; Vojtíšek, Michal (referee)
Air quality in Europe remains a significant environmental concern, affecting the health and quality of life of its population. While stationary network ambient air quality monitoring allows for the observation of main trends, it is not fully representative of personal exposure of citizens due to high spatio-temporal variability of atmospheric aerosol. Therefore, highly time-and- space resolved measurements with state-of-the-art instruments and methods are needed to observe the aerosol variability, dynamics, identify hot-spots, and pollution sources, which are necessary for successful targeted mitigation measures. This thesis addresses this gap focusing on the characterization of spatio-temporal distribution of atmospheric aerosol in inhabited environments. Novel mobile measurement systems were developed and employed to investigate diverse environments, including rural, urban and suburban area. Aerosol source-apportionment were conducted, and the toxicological effects associated with these environments were also investigated. A novel mobile measurement system was developed for personal exposure measurements and pollution mapping in urban and rural environments. The system was used to measure air quality in the Munich subway, revealing high aerosol dynamics with significantly higher concentrations of...

Dosing of particulate matter in rotary driers and rotary kilns
Kubín, Pavel ; Hudák, Igor (referee) ; Bojanovský, Jiří (advisor)
The bachelor thesis is focused on particulate matter dosing into rotary dryers. In the theoretical part, the thesis focuses on the mechanical properties of particulate matter (PM), especially the flow properties. The method of determining these properties is also men-tioned. The following part deals with the currently used PM dosing methods. The basic methods of dosing are listed here and their combination can subsequently lead to a complex dosing system. The practical part contains two designs of sewage sludge dosing systems and a comparison of their advantages and disadvantages. It also lists the boundary conditions to be considered before starting the design of such a dosing device.

Gasoline Particulate Filters
Vyhnálek, David ; Řehák, Kamil (referee) ; Dundálek, Radim (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with gasoline particulate filters for spark ignition power trains and aims to summarize the current state of knowledge and prospects of this issue. The first part of the thesis focuses on gasoline direct injection technology as it is directly responsible for the increased formation of particulate matter, which is also subject of attention, including other pollutants. It also addresses the reason for the need of usage and further development of filters, the principle of operation and design options, including a description of the individual components. The thesis also discusses possible perspectives for the future development of turbocharged petrol engines with regards to meeting emission standards.

Diagnostika a regenerace DPF filtru u traktorů Zetor
KRÁSNÝ, Lukáš
This diploma thesis on the topic of DPF filter diagnostics and regeneration in a Zetor tractor describes in detail the issue of emission requirements for a specific type of tractor. The work is divided into a theoretical part, which describes the issue of particulate matter, particulate filters and diagnostic methods used to obtain results. The practical part, which is the second part of this work, deals with the regeneration of the particulate filter itself, using serial diagnostics. The results are then evaluated with the values given by the manufacturer and the future development of the diagnosed tractor is determined.

Electrostatic precipitator for household wood firing boiler
Preisler, Lukáš ; Skála, Zdeněk (referee) ; Brázdil, Marian (advisor)
This diploma thesis aims on the development of an experimental electrostatic precipitator for household wood firing boiler. First, a literature review was conducted, aiming on the description of the precipitator using physical relations and, on its basis, a numerical model was created. By applying the numerical model, the precipitator configuration was designed as well as the engineering design of the whole system. The chosen configuration was validated by measurement using the corona discharge starting at voltage of 6,5 kV. By applying modifications, the electrostatic precipitator was built and tested during a running boiler. Due to flue gas condensation and load, corona discharge did not initiate, and the parameters were not validated. Modifications in the construction design were suggested leading to launch the electrostatic precipitator. The main requirement is a surface finishing of wire hinging components.
