Effect of a Tension on Pressure Drop Across the Flexible Bank of Polymeric Hollow Fibres in Crossflow
Kroulíková, Tereza ; Baláš, Marek (referee) ; Dančová,, Petra (referee) ; Hnízdil, Milan (advisor)
Pressure drop, such as the heat transfer rate, is an important parameter in heat exchanger design. Its values also determine the required pump performance for given medium. Several empirical relationships defined for calculating the pressure drop over a bank of tubes have been preserved from the last century; however, these relationships are based on measurements performed on large rigid tubes, thus, they do not include flexibility of thin fibres, and the pressure drop values calculated by the model might not reflect reality. This dissertation thesis discusses the air-side pressure drop of a bank of hollow polymer fibres, in particular, the effect of the tension in said fibers. Therefore, other possible effects of influence, such as random fiber pitches and fiber length differences, were minimized. A special device was made for tensioning the hollow fibre heat exchanger in order to measure the pressure drop. A set of measurements was performed, and the measured values were analysed and compared to two empirical models. At the end of the thesis, two model proposals for two geometries, namely for heat exchangers with a staggered design and dimensionless pitches of 2x2 and 2x3.

Design of a heating system for a house
Peřina, Petr ; Kalivodová, Markéta (referee) ; Baláš, Marek (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the proposal of a suitable heating system for a family house. The first part contains an overview of different methods of heating. The second part is focused on the calculation of heat losses and heat demand of a particular family house. In the third part, various heat sources are designed and compared for this object. At the end of the work, these proposals are evaluated and a suitable source, which would be advantageous to replace the existing one, is selected.

Dry flue gas loss of fireplace stove reduction
Vodvárka, Petr ; Lachman, Jakub (referee) ; Baláš, Marek (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the reduction of chimney heat loss of a fireplace stove with waste heat recovery. The results are the design of a functional heat exchanger and the calculation of the heat output. The heat exchanger must be designed for specific fireplace stove existing in a real living room and with realistic parameters. Technical documentation of the fireplace stove and a drawing of the heat exchanger are included in this thesis. Calculations of the reduction of chimney heat loss using the heat exchanger on a chimney are included in the conclusions. The advantages and disadvantages provided by using the heat exchanger are discussed.

Technology Power to X
Řezník, Dominik ; Baláš, Marek (referee) ; Kracík, Petr (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with technologies for the electricity storage based on its conversion into another form of energy ("Power to X"). It considers the possibility of their use for the storage of electricity generated by renewable energy sources, which should gradually replace conventional electricity production in coal-fired power plants. The first chapter of the thesis is devoted to the current and possible future state of the electricity sector in the Czech Republic and a description of selected electricity generation technologies. The second chapter contains a classification and description of technologies suitable for electricity storage – their functional principles, advantages and disadvantages or e.g. possibilities of further use of products obtained by means of conversions are included. In the third chapter, selected parameters of these technologies are illustratively compared in created graphs, each containing two parameters. The results of the comparison are then continuously discussed.

Oil heater design
Daxner, Ján ; Toman, Filip (referee) ; Baláš, Marek (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the design of heat exchangers for crude oil heating. The first part deals with the theoretical basis of heat transfer, heat exchanger properties and oil properties. In the second part, a design of two heat exchangers was developed. In the first variant, oil was placed in the pipes and steam was placed on the shell side. For the second variant, the media placement has been swapped. The design part consists of the design of the geometry of the tubes, the shell, and the baffles. Furthermore, thermal, and hydraulic calculations were performed. At the end, the proposed variants were compared, and a more advantageous design was selected.
