Horniak, Patrik ; Vincour, Dušan (referee) ; Buzík, Jiří (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is focused on strength design of assigned shell-and-tube heat exchanger. This heat exchanger have fixed tube sheets and straight tubes. Designed tube sheet is integrated with shell and flanged to the channel. First part of the thesis serves as introduction on the issue of heat exchangers and tube sheets. Following chapters are dedicated to the strength design of tube sheet thickness based on the ČSN EN 13 445 standard. These chapters are dealing with input parameters, basic requirements of calculation, equations essential for calculation of stress in heat exchanger and analysis of stresses in heat exchanger with the use of proper strength conditions. Conclusion of these chapters is evaluation of calculated results from personal scipt written in Python language using Spyder environment. Correctness of these results is ensured by their comparison with the output of Visual Vessel Design (VVD) program. Final part of the thesis is economic evaluation of whole tube sheet design based on possibility of choosing different analyzed material.

Checking of heat exchanger to flow-induced vibration
Mazura, František ; Pernica, Marek (referee) ; Buzík, Jiří (advisor)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the thermal-hydraulic design of the heat exchanger and flow induced vibrations checking. The introductory part describes the basic distribution and function of heat exchangers. The next part introduces the thermal-hydraulic design in the Python programming language using the Kern‘s method for an U-tube heat exchanger. Thermal-hydraulic design outputs are compared with values from HTRI software. Subsequently, the issue of the flow induced vibrations is characterized and the checking of these vibrations according to the normalized TEMA standard is performed. Finally, the heat exchanger is checked using the Poddar & Polley graphical method.

Strength calculation of pipe junction
Dohnal, Milan ; Buzík, Jiří (referee) ; Létal, Tomáš (advisor)
The master thesis focuses on the strength calculation of piping with extra consideration given to the local effects of thermal loads. To be recognized as properly functioning, the piping is required to withstand the expected operating conditions in order to enable the continuous transport of the working fluid within the interconnected devices. It is imperative to take into consideration the variable thermal load in the area where the individual pipe branches connect into the main transmission piping. A major part of the thesis is concerned with the assessment of the expected workload influence on the most stressed parts of the system. The data are gathered by employing temperature and stress-strain analyses carried out in the ANSYS Mechanical program using the finite element method. The values based on the analyses are cross-checked with both the permitted values according to the ASME standard B31.3 Process piping and the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code stress categorization method. Since all the evaluated stresses are below their respective permissible values, the piping strength is concluded as satisfactory according to the standards.

Flow Induced Vibration Fatigue Analysis of Tube Bundle
Buzík, Jiří ; Vincour, Dušan (referee) ; Lukavský, Jiří (referee) ; Vejvoda, Stanislav (advisor)
The aim of the dissertation thesis is the control of the tube bundle on the cyclic fatigue caused by the flow past tube bundle. Fatigue due to flow is caused by flow-induced vibrations. Examined vibrations are caused by the mutual interaction of two phases (solid and liquid). The present work is focused mainly on the interaction of tube bundles with fluid. The current level of knowledge in this field allows to predict mainly static respectively quazi-static loading. These predictions are based on methods of comparing key vibration variables such as frequencies, amplitudes or speeds (see TEMA [1]). In this way, it is possible to determine quickly and relatively precisely the occurrence of a vibrational phenomenon, but it is not possible to quantitatively assess the effect of these vibrations on the damage of to the tube beam and to predict its lifespan, which would require the determination of the temperature field and the distribution of forces from the fluid on the beam. The aim of the work is to evaluate the-state-of-the-art, to perform a numerical simulation of the flow of fluids in the area of shell side under the inlet nozzle. Current methods of numerical analyses very well solve this problem, but at the expense of computing time, devices and expensive licences. The benefit of this work is the use of user-defined function (UDF) as a method for simulating interaction with fluid and structure in ANSYS Fluent software. This work places great emphasis on using the current state of knowledge for verifying and validation. Verifying and validation of results include, for example, experimentally measured Reynolds and Strouhal numbers, the drag coefficients and for example magnitude of pressure coefficient around the tube. At the same time, it uses the finite element method as a tool for the stress-strain calculation of a key part on tube such as a pipe-tube joint. Another benefit of this work is the extension of the graphical design of heat exchanger according to Poddar and Polley by vibration damages control according to the method described in TEMA [1]. In this section, the author points out the enormous influence of flow velocity on both the tube side and the shell side for design of the heat exchanger to ensure faultless operation. As an etalon of damage, the author chose a heat exchanger designated 104 from the Heat Exchanger Tube Vibration Data Bank [3]. With this heat exchanger, vibrational damage has been proven to be due to cutting of the tubes over the baffles. The last part outlines the possibilities and limits of further work.

Strength desing of hanger with non-standard dimmensions
Zajíc, Jonáš ; Buzík, Jiří (referee) ; Lošák, Pavel (advisor)
This bachelor thesis was created in cooperation with MPS Gradior. The thesis deals with the design and analysis of one-dimensional hanger with non-normalized dimensions for DN 1400 pipes. The aim of the bachelor thesis was to create a design of non-standardized pipe hanger based on the previous background research. The subsequent strength analysis under static force loading was performed using the finite element method with help of the ANSYS software. After verification of the functionality and the security of the proposed model, detailed drawing documentations have been developed to serve as the basis for a production of the prototype part.

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.
