Possibilities of waste heat recovery from internal combustion engines
Křivák, Petr ; Pospíšil, Jiří (referee) ; Brázdil, Marian (advisor)
Increasing demands for vehicular traffic to reduce the environmental impact and consumption of fossil fuels, led an effort to increase the efficiency of the combustion process and the car as a whole. One way to achieve this is to use the waste heat of the combustion process, especially waste heat of exhaust gases. This heat can be converted into electrical energy. Consumption of electricity in modern cars is increasing. The presented work deals with the possibilities, how to using waste heat of exhaustgases from internal combustion engine. Focused on application of producing electricity. The paper analyzed the current state of car traffic, and then provides an overview of possible technological solutions using waste heat of exhaust gases. The main part is devoted to thermoelectric generators, their construction and possible design. In conclusion is made the energy balance with use thermoelectric generator.

Thermoelectric properties of alkali activated aluminosilicates
Filipská, Kristýna ; Fiala,, Lukáš (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
This work focuses on the potential usage of alkali-activated aluminosilicates (AAA) in relation to energy harvesting. It sets a goal of familiarizing the reader with thermoelectrical conversion itself and its existence within those materials. Based on this knowledge, the measurement of thermoelectrical voltage has been conducted in chosen mixtures of AAA; more specifically a slag geopolymer with carbon black admixture, a slag geopolymer with graphite powder admixture and a metashale geopolymer with graphite powder admixture. This experiment was executed by repeated heating of the surface area of the sample on one side using a resistor, while the other side was kept at reference temperature. The response in the form of voltage generated in the sample as well as on the electrodes was recorded. The measured values were then used to calculate the Seebeck coefficient. The best response was provided by a slag geopolymer sample with carbon black admixture at 4 % concentration (|| = 1904 V/K). The second goal was to measure thermal properties of those samples, specifically the specific heat capacity, the thermal conductivity coefficient and thermal diffusivity. This goal has been reached by capturing the samples with a thermal camera while heating them on a hot-plate. The highest values of specific heat capacity and the thermal conductivity coefficient were provided by a sample of metashale geopolymer with graphite powder admixture at 8 % concentration (c = 2086 J/kg/K; = 1,815 W/m/K). Thermal diffusivity proved to be almost identical in all samples, 610-7 m2/s on average. Based on the results, we conclude that the thermoelectrical conversion in these materials is not enough to be significant in bigger scale energy harvesting yet. However, we also believe that it’s possible to reach better results with further research.

Thermoelectric generators and their use with renewable energy sources
Bajgl, Tomáš ; Radil, Lukáš (referee) ; Baxant, Petr (advisor)
This work revolves around the principle of thermoenergy transforming into electrical energy by using a thermoelectrical generator. It is divided into these sections – theoretical, practical and experimental measurement. In the theoretical section, each thermoelectrical phenomenon is described, the properties of various materials used for production are listed, including their electrical properties and constructions. Then the attention switches to the currently available systems. The practical section includes a design for a device, which purpose is to recharge a mobile phone by using thermoelectric generators, and that section is followed by the elaboration of the measured values.

Thermoelectric Power Generation System
Brázdil, Marian ; Nerud, Pavel (referee) ; Pospíšil, Jiří (advisor)
In the last decade there is a rising interest in thermoelectric applications. Thermoelectric generators enabling the direct conversion of the heat into the electricity become attractive. This fact is caused by the demands of environmental operation and saving primary resources. Scientists intensively investigate and develop new materials and structures suitable for these applications. The efficiency of the thermoelectric conversion progressively increases. Unfortunately we have no available materials with sufficient thermoelectric properties which could provide cost-competitive price. Thermoelectric generators seem to be useable devices. For example, in case of the unused waste heat using of the thermoelectric generator can increase the overall effectiveness of the unit despite the low efficiency of the generator. This master thesis deals with the issue of the Peltier modules representing the main part of the thermoelectric generators. The physical principles and structures of the thermoelectric modules and the possibility of thermoelectric power production are described here. In the practical part of this thesis the design of the low power generator utilizing waste heat from biomass boiler Verner A 251.1 is proposed.
