Methods for Determination of Characteristic Parameters of Combustion Processes on the Basis of Experiments and Modeling
Bělohradský, Petr ; Klemeš,, Jiří (referee) ; Žitný, Rudolf (referee) ; Stehlík, Petr (advisor)
The present thesis is concerned with methods for determination and modeling of characteristic parameters of combustion of gaseous fuels. The focus is stressed on formation of nitrogen oxides and heat transfer from hot flue gases into combustion chamber’s walls. Experimental work, which is focused on testing of two burners with suppressed formation of nitrogen oxides, is an important part of the thesis. Its aim is to obtain data that is necessary for further processing and modeling. The work presents two methods that may be used in modeling of characteristic combustion parameters, namely the method based on statistical processing of data and the method based on computational fluid dynamics. The approaches are applied to two devices (burner with two-staged fuel supply, burner with two-staged air supply) with the objective to analyze their parameters. First approach covers detailed planning of burner test prior to its own carrying out (definition of the goal of experiment, choice of input factors and response, experimental plan) and subsequent statistical processing of experimental data. On the contrary, CFD approach offers simulations as an alternative option to traditional experimental methods. The simulation of combustion includes building of computational grid, setup of boundary conditions, turbulence model, heat transfer model and chemical kinetics. Results of simulations are compared with experimental measured data.

Accelerometer-based monitoring of steering wheel angle
Navrátil, Tadeáš ; Jirgl, Miroslav (referee) ; Mihálik, Ondrej (advisor)
This thesis deals with the design of a device which will be used for measuring the steering wheel angle. Main goal was to design basic concept of device which is using data gathered from three accelerometers in the reconstruction algorithm to get steering wheel angle. Discussion of various reconstruction algorithms (with regards to simulated output noise levels from acceleromater) and final Implementation of reconstruction algorithm (in MATLAB simulink enviroment) is also part of this thesis. Furthermore, thesis deals with the selection of suitable components. Mainly selection of accelerometers, microcontroller and the selection of a suitable communication bus for mutual communication between them. Thesis also deals with design improvements of algorithm and realization of the whole device. In the end, we compare results of measuring device and inner senzor of steering wheel.

Continuous mathematical models of population dynamics
Pecka, Luboš ; Opluštil, Zdeněk (referee) ; Franců, Jan (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to describe the most frequent models describing population dynamics and then to perform some numerical experiments in the MATLAB environment. These simulations should validate our theoretical results. The models are sorted from the basic models to the most complicated and are divided into the models which describe dynamics of one population and models of coexistence of two biological species. The master's thesis icludes also a program for drawing graphs and trajectories of solutions of models described in this thesis including a description of this MATLAB program.

Emergent properties of the G1/S network
Dražková, Jana ; Tomášek, Petr (referee) ; Palumbo,, Pasquale (advisor)
Tato práce se zabývá buněčným cyklem kvasinky Saccgaromyces cerevisiae. Oblastí našeho zájmu je přechod mezi G1 a S fází, kde je naším cílem identifikovat velikosti buňky v době počátku DNA replikace. Nejprve se věnujeme nedávno publikovanému matematickému modelu, který popisuje mechanismy vedoucí k S fázi. Práce poskytuje detailní popis tohoto modelu, stejně jako časový průběh některých důležitých proteinů či jejich sloučenin. Dále se zabýváme pravděpodobnostním modelem aktivace replikačních počátků DNA. Nově uvažujeme vliv šíření DNA replikace mezi sousedícími počátky a analyzujeme jeho důsledky. Poskytujeme také senzitivní analýzu kritické velikosti buňky vzhledem ke konstantám popisujícím dynamiku reakcí v modelu G1/S přechodu.

Control of salient PM machine using d-q frame machine model and Matlab Simulink
Dušek, Jiří ; Huták, Petr (referee) ; Ondrůšek, Čestmír (advisor)
Tato práce se zabývá synchronním motorem s permanentními magnety na rotoru (PMSM), jeho modelováním a návrhu regulační struktury. V práci jsou uvedeny způsoby a výhody použití permanentních magnetů v elektrických motorech. Dále se práce zabývá transformací třífázové soustavy do dq0. Pomocí Parkovy transformace jsou v práci odvozeny rovnice stroje v dq0 souřadnicovém systému a vytvořeny náhradní schémata stroje v dq osách. Rovnice i schémata zahrnují jak ztráty v mědi, tak ztráty v železe. Náhradní schémata jsou popsány elektrickými a mechanickými rovnicemi a následně překresleny do grafické podoby v programu Matlab Simulink. Vytvořeny jsou dva modely PMSM, jeden s uvažováním ztrát v železe a druhý bez těchto ztrát. Pro oba dva modely je zde popsán postup návrhu regulátorů proudu a otáček. Pro model, u kterého jsou uvažovány ztráty v železe je navíc použito více druhů řídicích strategií a tyto strategie jsou mezi sebou navzájem porovnány.

Integration of a technology for digestate thickening in a biogas plant
Miklas, Václav ; Touš, Michal (referee) ; Vondra, Marek (advisor)
This diploma thesis is mainly focused on the digestate thickening in a biogas plant. First, overview of the biogas technology in the Czech Republic is presented. Furthermore, problems with waste heat utilization and processing of fermentation residues (digestate) are described in more detail. Based on the research, multi-stage flash (MSF) evaporation was chosen as the technology for the digestate thickening. The main part deals with the integration of the chosen technology into a biogas plant process. The programming language Python was used to simplify the given task. In the preliminary stage, a complex mathematical model of a biogas plant was created, focusing particularly on the mass and energy balances. Subsequently, a computational model of the MSF evaporator was programmed. A procedure for the integration was suggested using the sensitivity analyses. Additionally, the model of a biogas plant was extended with the MSF evaporator. The key outcome of the thesis is a technical-economic analysis in which the impact of digestate transport price and electricity feed-in tariff on payback period is investigated. The results suggest profitability of MSF evaporator for biogas plants without subsidized feed-in tariff. Contrastingly, installation of MSF evaporator in older biogas plants with subsidized feed-in tariff can be economically viable only in cases of significantly longer transport distances.
