Steam Grate Biomass Boiler
Suchánková, Lenka ; Křemínský, Pavel (referee) ; Lisý, Martin (advisor)
The master's thesis describes the design of the steam boiler, which burns biomass with heat output of 6 MW. The required parameters of the steam are a temperature of 300 °C and a pressure of 2,5 MPa. The thesis is gradually devoted to stoichiometric calculations through heat losses and boiler efficiency, to the design of the combustion chambre, heat exchangers and pressure losses. Part of the thesis is drawing documentation of the boiler.

Thermal Losses of the Biomass Boiler
Suchánková, Lenka ; Milčák, Pavel (referee) ; Kracík, Petr (advisor)
The bachelor thesis focuses on the heat loss of the solid fuel boiler, especially on the loss of heat conduction and transfer to the surroundings. In order to minimalize thermal leaks through the boiler walls, materials with good isolation capabilities must be selected when designing. In Microsoft Excel, a universal mathematical model was created to calculate the heat flux flowing through the flat wall of the boiler, from which temperatures can be obtained on the inside of the wall. The work describes the calculation method on which the model is based and its correctness is verified on an experiment based on sensing of temperature fields of wall sur-faces of equipment burning biomass by thermal camera. The model can be used for a wall with up to 9 layers of material, where the wall can be cooled (heat loss) by air and water.

PM1 UNDER THE MICROSCOPE: MULTI-ANNUAL AEROSOL OPTICAL PROPERTIES AND SIZE DISTIRBUTION OBSERVATION AT PERI-URBAN ATMOSPHERIC SITE ATOLL
Suchánková, Lenka ; Bourrianne, E. ; De Fillipi, R. ; De Brito, J. F. ; Riffault, V. ; Prokeš, Roman ; Holoubek, Ivan ; Ždímal, V. ; Crumeyrolle, S.
Atmospheric aerosols (AA) belong to short-lived climate forcers with high spatial and temporal variability. Although the radiative effects of AA are greatest on regional scales, changes in aerosol emissions can induce long-term global climate effects (Szopa et al., 2021). Thus, the measurement of aerosol properties is essential for better understanding of aerosol’s impact on health and climate. Although several international projects and platforms have been monitoring AA properties worldwide (GAW, WMO, ACTRIS, EMEP, EUCAARI, etc., Pandolfi et al., 2018), only PM10 or PM2.5 cutoff sizes have been used for measurements, and information about PM1 particles is missing. \nThe aim of this study is to present aerosol scattering properties with supporting data of absorption and particle number size distribution in PM1 in years 2018-2022 at peri-urban atmospheric site “Atmospheric Observations in LiLLE (ATOLL) in Lille, France. This study is the first to present results dedicated to aerosol scattering properties at this site.

PHYSICOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND EVOLUTION OF AEROSOL FROM OPEN COMBUSTION OF BIOMASS DURING THE TRADITIONAL “BURNING OF THE WITCHES”

Open biomass burning (OBB) is a major source releasing large quantities of gaseous and particulate pollutants into the atmosphere, with global, regional and local impacts on air quality, public health and climate (Andreae, 2019, Chen et al., 2017). OBB aerosols mainly consist of carbonaceous matter, and a considerable amount of inorganic salts, which present distinctly different optical properties (Chen et al., 2017, Reid et al., 2005). In this study, we investigate the influence of OBB during the traditional Burning of the Witches (BoW), referred to in Czech as “Pálení čarodějnic”, on the physico-chemical properties of atmospheric aerosols collected at the National Atmospheric Observatory Košetice (NAOK). The BoW is a centuries-old pagan tradition very popular in the Czech Republic. Today, it is celebrated during the night from April 30 to May 1 by lighting bonfires made of woodpiles with fake witches.

The effect of meteorology and aerosol size distribution on light scattering properties at a rural background site in Central Europe
Suchánková, Lenka
The aim of this study is to characterize the light scattering properties of aerosols at the rural background site National Atmospheric\nObservatory Košetice (NAOK; 49°34’20.787”N, 15°4’48.155”E) in Central Europe, namely the coefficients of total light scattering (σsp) and backscattering (σbsp), the Ångström exponent (SAE), the backscattering ratio (b), and the asymmetry factor (g), with special attention to the influence of meteorology and aerosol size distribution on these properties. We measured σ𝑠𝑝 and σ𝑏𝑠𝑝 at three wavelengths (450, 550, and 700 nm) using the Integrating Nephelometer TSI 3563 (PM10 inlet). The measurements were performed from August 16, 2012 to December 31, 2019.

The impact of covid-19 restrictions on carbonaceous aerosols at rural background site: importance of vertical distribution
Mbengue, Saliou ; Vodička, Petr ; Komínková, Kateřina ; Schwarz, Jaroslav ; Zíková, Naděžda ; Prokeš, Roman ; Suchánková, Lenka ; Julaha, Kajal ; Ondráček, Jakub ; Holoubek, Ivan ; Ždímal, Vladimír
In this study, EC and OC at 4 m elevation and EC at 230 m elevation showed a similar \nseasonal pattern with higher values in winter and lower values in summer. OC, measured \nat 230 m height showed an opposite behavior with slightly higher values in spring and \nsummer, probably related to the increased contribution of secondary organic carbon \n(SOC). Concentrations were generally higher at 4 m, where there was also a better \ncorrelation between EC and OC, suggesting a greater influence of local sources near the \nsurface.

A Seven-Years Based Characterization of Aerosol Light Scattering Properties at Central European Rural Site: Variability and Source Apportionment
Suchánková, Lenka ; Mbengue, S. ; Zíková, Naděžda ; Ondráček, Jakub ; Holubová Šmejkalová, A. ; Prokeš, R. ; Holoubek, I. ; Ždímal, Vladimír
The aim of this study is to focus on the temporal variations of light-scattering properties of aerosols at a rural background site in Central Europe. The total light scattering (σsp) and backscattering (σbsp) coefficients and associated calculated optical properties such as the Ångström exponent (SAE), the backscattering ratio (b), and the asymmetry factor (g), are characterized considering different time scales (annual, seasonal, monthly, or diurnal) based on long-term measurement. The optical properties were compared with meteorological conditions (fog, cloudiness), the concentrations of gaseous pollutants such as NOx and SO2 were inspected as well as potential sources of atmospheric aerosols. In addition, radiative forcing, and the influence of other meteorological conditions (e.g., height of planetary boundary layer), chemical composition and particle size distribution at the National Atmospheric Observatory Košetice (NAOK) are being further investigated to better understand the direct effects of aerosols on the local climate.
