Influence of the oxide layer on the cooling of steel surfaces
Resl, Ondřej ; Pohanka, Michal (referee) ; Chabičovský, Martin (advisor)
This thesis deals with the influence of the oxide layer on the spray cooling of steel surfaces. As part of the work steel samples with oxide layer are made and the thickness, porosity and surface roughness of this layer are characterized. The average thermal conductivity of porous oxide layer is determined for different regimes of oxidation. Further, the influence of the oxide layer on the heat transfer coefficient during the spray cooling is experimentally investigated on created samples and the basic numerical simulation of the cooling is done for selected experiment with oxide layer. The thesis also contains theoretical introduction to given issue.

Systems of energy efficient buildings
Šlampová, Kateřina ; Horák, Petr (referee) ; Počinková, Marcela (advisor)
The topic of this diploma thesis is systems of energy efficient buildings with a focus on the building envelope. The first theoretical part describes the quantities that we consider when designing the building envelope. The second half of the theoretical part is with reference to the experimental part of the thesis focused on a special type of vertical perimeter structure, namely walls with live vegetation installed from the outside of the structure. The second, practical part of this work, deals with the design of heating and hot water supply for a multifunctional building. The design is elaborated in two variants - heating by means of radiators in the first variant and in the second variant by means of floor heating for residential units of the solved building. The third part define an experiment, which had the task of comparing the measured quantities on two types of vertical perimeter structures, namely a structure with growing greenery from the outside and an identical structure only without a layer of greenery. At the same time, the task was to check the possible influence of the applied greenery on heat losses, and thus the design of the heating system.

Study of energy accumulation during phase change of paraffin wax
Lapčíková, Tereza ; Krouská, Jitka (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
This thesis deals with the study of the process of energy storage during phase transformation, the so-called latent heat for commercial materials of the Rubitherm® RT line (Rubitherm Technologies GmbH) with applications in the construction industry. The thermophysical properties of Rubitherm® RT35HC, RT28HC and RT18HC materials differing in phase transformation temperature were investigated using the transient method. For the Rubitherm® RT35HC material a value of the thermal conductivity coefficient in the solid phase of 0.21 W/m/K and in the liquid phase of 0.23 W/m/K was determined. The specific heat capacity value in the solid phase was determined to be 1980 J/kg/K and in the liquid phase 1995 J/kg/K. For Rubitherm® RT28HC, the value of the thermal conductivity coefficient in the solid phase was determined to be 0,23 W/m/K and the value of the specific heat capacity in the solid phase was determined to be 1997 J/kg/K. For the Rubitherm® RT18HC material, a liquid phase thermal conductivity coefficient of 0,27 W/m/K and a liquid phase specific heat capacity of 2010 J/kg/K were determined. Using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), the melting temperature of the Rubitherm® RT28HC sample was determined at 27.43 °C and solidification at 23.51 °C, while for the Rubitherm® RT35HC sample melting occurred at 36.51 °C and solidification at 31.86 °C and 32.28 °C. In the experimental part of this work, modifications were made to the measuring apparatus used in such a way that it could be used for the study of materials that change their state of matter during the experiment.

Study of the behavior of vacuum insulation based on secondary raw materials
Zelenka, Jakub ; Novák, Vítězslav (referee) ; Zach, Jiří (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis deals with an extensive literature research on the topic of vacuum insulation and their use in civil construction and other areas of application. The theoretical part is devoted to the composition of vacuum insulation and materials suitable for the production of their cores. Based on the performed research, the design of possible alternative core insulators based on natural secondary raw materials has been conducted. These can be used in the production of vacuum insulation.

Study of the behavior of insulating materials in a high humidity environment
Havelka, Jindřich ; Peterková, Jitka (referee) ; Zach, Jiří (advisor)
Extruded polystyrene (XPS) is presented as non-absorbent material and it is applied in building construction with high moisture, such as inverted roof. The reason for that is a very good ratio of thermal and mechanical properties and it is used in moisture-loaded applications due to the closed pore structure and high diffusion resistance factor, which are declared by the manufacturers. Long-term experience and studies show that XPS accumulates moisture during long-term exposure in an environment with high humidity. A long-term water absorption test at full immersion for 84 days has been proposed to better illustrate the trend of increasing water absorption. A total of 6 products from different manufacturers that are recommended for inverted roof application, were tested. All tested XPS products have reached high amount of water absorption. The main goal was to map the real properties of XPS at high humidity loads. It was found that each product showed a different degradation of thermal conductivity at the same volume moisture value. Furthermore, there was found the connection between the surface structure and amount of water absorption. Products with waffle structure had higher humidity than products with a fine structure.

Study of heat transport throw bulk materials with electric conductive aditive
Vacula, Jan ; Menčík, Přemysl (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
Bachelor thesis is focused on the study of heat transport in bulk materials made from PLA (polylactic acid) filaments by 3D printing. For subsequent applications it is important to know the electrical, dielectric and thermal parameters of materials with different dyes, pigments and electrically conductive additives. The aim of this work is mainly to study the thermal properties of the series and the influence of additives on these properties. The main focus is to study the thermal properties of the samples. In the theoretical part, different 3D printing methods are mentioned, the methods of measuring the thermal properties, and finally the properties of the lactic acid polymer are described. The experimental part is devoted to the description of the process of 3D printing samples for measurements and then the method of measuring the thermal properties of the printed samples is described. For samples with electrically conductive admixtures, the thermal conductivity was found to be in the range of (0,217–0,292) W/m/K and the specific heat capacity was found to be (382,2–1 007,2) J/kg/K. The electrically conductive materials (PLA with metallic admixtures) were found to have a very good thermal conductivity and a smaller specific heat capacity, while the materials with admixtures of dyes and pigments showed a smaller thermal conductivity and a larger specific heat capacity.

Thermomechanical tire model
Vaníček, Jan ; Štětina, Josef (referee) ; Porteš, Petr (advisor)
This diploma thesis is about thermomechanics of passenger car tires. The research part dealing with existing tire models is followed by the practical part. The practical part is based on the designs of thermomechanical models. The first model determines a dependence of temperature on the air pressure inside a tire when a temperature changes. The second thermomechanical model captures all the heat fluxes which affect a tire while a vehicle is in motion. The third thermomechanical model calculates temperatures of parts of the tire during driving tests. All models are programmed in MATLAB.
