CFD simulation of refrigerant flow inside the semihermetic compressor
Tuhovčák, Ján ; Knotek, Stanislav (referee) ; Katolický, Jaroslav (advisor)
The CFD simulation of cooling piston compressor Stream, manufactured by Emerson company, is the topic of this diploma thesis. Analysis of moving parts (piston, valves) and refrigerant or physical settings for simulation were based on experimental data provided by Emerson. The goal of the thesis is to test opportunities of Star-CCM+ in simulating the flow inside the compressor. In the end there will be a comparison of experimental data and results from the simulation. The thesis also contains a theoretical background of piston compressors and phenomenon following the operating compressor.

Modeling of Liquid Film Instabilities with Subsequent Entrainment of Droplets
Knotek, Stanislav ; Kozubková, Milada (referee) ; Čermák, Libor (referee) ; Jícha, Miroslav (advisor)
This dissertation deals with instabilities of thin liquid films up to entrainment of drops. Four types of instabilities have been classified depending on the type of structure and process on the liquid film surface: two-dimensional slow waves, two-dimensional fast waves, three-dimensional waves, solitary waves and entrainment of drops from the film surface. This thesis analyzes the physical principles of instabilities and deals with the mathematical formulation of the problem. Shear and pressure forces acting on the surface of the liquid film are identified as the cause of instabilities. Mathematical models for predicting instabilities are demonstrated using approaches based on solving the Orr-Sommerfeld equation and the equations of motion in integral form. Models of shear and pressure forces acting on the surface of the film and selected models of film thickness are presented. The work is focused on the prediction of the initiation of two-dimensional waves using the integral approach. Shear stress and pressure forces acting on the liquid film surface have been modeled using the simulation of air flow over a solid surface. Finally, criteria for drop entrainment are presented with their dependence on air velocity and film thickness.

Eigenvalue Problem and Applications
Machát, Ondřej ; Čermák, Libor (referee) ; Knotek, Stanislav (advisor)
This thesis contains definition and overview of the properties of eigenvalues´ problems including its generalised alternate and the problem of eigenvalues in differential equations. Several numerical methods of calculations are also listed here. Crux of the thesis are the practical applications of this mathematical domain in use. The reader is progressively going to meet the model of the forging hammer´s procedure, tasks looking for critical load pressure needed to irreversible bending of the imbedded girder. In conclusion the thesis will also deal with the stability of the liquid flowing.

A method for the solution of non-spherical (fiber) particles deposition by means of the Fokker-Planck equation for ODF in a laminar flow
Kopečková, Barbora ; Knotek, Stanislav (referee) ; Jícha, Miroslav (advisor)
The Bachelor's thesis deals with a deposition efficiency for a fibers by various mechanisms of a deposition. It explains deposition efficiency by diffusion, by sedimentation and by impaction. The implementation of Peterlin's analytical solution for calculation of the ODF, which is used for individual efficiencies solution, is also mentioned. Afterwards, the thesis summarizes formulas for calculation of particular efficiencies derived for spherical particles and recomputation appropriate parameters for fibers. The purpose of the thesis is to create graphs, which illustrate deposition efficiencies dependence by various mechanisms on the aspect ratio of fibers. Another goal is the graphs creation, which shows juxtaposition for various breathing modes for given deposition mechanisms. The software MATLAB is used for the whole calculation process and graphs plotting.

Method for the solution of conduction heat transfer in Phase change material with nanoparticles
Kopečková, Barbora ; Knotek, Stanislav (referee) ; Jícha, Miroslav (advisor)
This master thesis deals with problematic of the heat convection in phase change materials (PCM) and PCM with nanoparticles. The derivation of stationary and non-stationary equations for 1D, 2D and 3D heat convection are described in detail. The finite element volume method is used for solution to these equations, of which principle is described carefully. The aim of this thesis is model development for 2D solution to temperature distribution at heat convection in PCM and influence assessment of nanoparticle implementation into material on given temperature distribution. Software MATLAB was used for model development, solution and plotting graphs.
