Analysis of heat losses of operated heat exchangers
Sýs, Tomáš ; Babička Fialová, Dominika (referee) ; Jegla, Zdeněk (advisor)
The proposed bachelor’s thesis deals with calculation and analysis of heat losses of operated heat exchangers used for food applications. In the first part of the thesis, general problematics of heat exchangers is introduced, including their use and breakdown by basic categories, as well as problematics of insulation, which is supplemented by a list of the most commonly used types of insulation. Another chapter is devoted both to the assignment and description of the industrial case; drawing documentation and measured input data necessary for the calculation of heat losses are also presented. The last part of the thesis introduces the used method of assessment of heat losses of the heat exchanger network, achieved results and their discussion.
Complex analysis of the performance of a U-type distribution system
Sýs, Tomáš ; Strouhal, Jiří (referee) ; Babička Fialová, Dominika (advisor)
Fluid flow maldistribution plays a key role in equipment used in process and energy industries, although its evaluation is often underestimated or fully neglected. Uneven flow distribution may cause thermal or mechanical load on the tube bundle, and in extreme scenarios, it can also have an adverse effect on the process efficiency. This thesis aims to find the optimal computational tools for flow distribution prediction suitable for the initial stage of the equipment design process and to identify suitable settings of these tools for their subsequent industrial deployment. The results of simplified analytical models, detailed numerical simulations, and experimental measurements were compared for the dividing header and the U-type distribution system. It was found that the results provided by simplified mathematical models, the solution of which is also significantly less time-consuming compared to detailed CFD simulations, best correspond to the measured experimental values in all modeled configurations. For arrangements with higher lateral resistance coefficient, both computational approaches provide approximately equally accurate results. However, for arrangements with lower lateral resistance coefficient, the deviation of the results obtained by CFD calculations from the experimental data is significantly larger.
