Quantification of the thermohydraulic characteristics of the flexible element using experimental data
Sochorec, Rostislav ; Kilkovský, Bohuslav (referee) ; Jegla, Zdeněk (advisor)
The diploma thesis aims to establish thermo-hydraulic properties of a flexible tube described by its Darcy friction factor and film heat transfer coefficient respectively. A flexible tube (corrugated stainless steel tube) is an easily shapeable stainless steel component used to build various piping connections, in a place of more common copper or plastic made tubes. It can also be used to build heat exchangers thanks to its signature properties. The investigated product is the one developed and manufactured by the Czech company Flexira s.r.o. and sold under the brand name xConnect System. Its thermo-hydraulic properties are established by an experiment, which is based on real utilizations by Laboratory of Energy Intensive Processes in NETME (New Technologies for Mechanical Engineering) Centre at Brno University of Technology. The investigated case is a coil-shaped element serving a purpose of a water-to-water heat exchanger. The text contains a literature survey of the chosen flexible tube and a description of a draft and development of the specific experimental test based off the established theory. The obtained results are then analysed, for the purpose of establishing a functional dependence, which can then be used to calculate a film heat transfer coefficient.

Boundary Conditions in the Roll Gap during Hot and Cold Rolling
Luks, Tomáš ; Pernis,, Rudolf (referee) ; Hajduk, Daniel (referee) ; Horský, Jaroslav (advisor)
Boundary conditions in the roll gap play an important role in modelling of rolling processes. In the roll gap we can observe the following: changes of rolling pressure, changes of relative velocity, influences of oxides and lubrication, etc. When taking into account all conditions mentioned above the determination of the boundary conditions is not trivial and extensive measurements are necessary. Therefore, this thesis is dealing with design of temperature and force sensors specified for the determination of friction coefficient and heat transfer coefficient in contact. The temperature sensor with an installed thermocouple measures subsurface temperature for a given depth; and then the inverse heat conduction task is used to compute temperature and heat flux on the surface. Several temperature sensors were designed and used for measuring in pilot mill and industrial rolling mill as well. The thermal responses of different sensors were compared in the numerical simulations. The inverse calculations were tested for various rolling conditions. A durability of the sensors was also studied in industrial rolling conditions. The contact stresses in the roll gap were measured by a pin, which was in direct contact with the rolled material. The forces on the top of the pin were measured by a three-axes piezoelectric force transducer and recalculated to the contact stress and friction coefficient. The sensor was implemented in a work roll and tested when rolling aluminium and steel slab for different rolling conditions. The results were compared with the integrative force sensor ROLLSURF.

Hrubanová, Kristýna ; Pokorný, Jan (referee) ; Fišer, Jan (advisor)
This diploma thesis is focused on measurement of thermal properties of clothes by thermal manikin and on application of results for prediction of thermal comfort in system iHVAC. First part of thesis is dedicated to research with relation to this topic and to definitions of main computational equations necessary for experimental measurement. The choise of method for measurement based on available standards is an important part of this thesis. The main focus of thesis lies on measuring 5 combinations of clothes at different calibration temperatures and same temperature of manikin surface. Then data are examined and also the analysis of uncertaities and repeatability is maked. According to assupmtion , the independence of value of heat transfer coefficient to ambient temperature is comfirmed and calculated heat resistance of every single clothes is compared to existing wardrobe for system iHVAC. The outcome of this thesis is specificied and completed virtual wardrobe which serves to prediction of thermal comfort in car.

Optimization of a lightweight pitched roof in order to reduce summer heat gains
Svobodová, Sylvia ; Rubina, Aleš (referee) ; Sedlák,, Vladimír (referee) ; Matějka, Libor (advisor)
The thesis deals with the topic of overheating of attic rooms during the summer period. In vast majority of family houses and apartment houses with inhabited attic spaces is the roof solved as lightweight. This kind of roof assembly is not able to sufficiently resist the summer boundary conditions and leads to increased heat gains in the interior. In this work, the attention is drawn entirely to the heat penetration through the roof. Different aspects of passive cooling were applied to the roof and the impact of each change was assessed. This concerns the color of the tiles, thermal accumulation, reflective surfaces and the ventilated air layer. The temperature and velocity profiles in the ventilated cavity were monitored and an analysis of the ventilated cavity efficiency was conducted. For individual analyses was used software – based on the principles of the Finite Element Method or the dynamic simulation software. Also other methods were employed: long-term measurement of temperatures on roof models; short-term measurement of surface temperature of various kinds of roof tiles; and laboratory measurement of reflexivity. Also the effect of insect grilles on the air flow is discussed; which was tested on a ventilator track. In this publication are explained the principles of natural convection; boundary layers and the theory of the coefficient of heat transfer. This work includes a standard of the precise calculation methodology for ventilated roofs which was developed for the purpose of creating a user-friendly guide. The results of individual analyses show, a definitely positive effect of the ventilated cavity on the heat gain reduction of attic rooms. The current technical solution of a roof ridge provides the exhaust of the water vapor from a roof assembly; but for providing ventilation for reducing heat gains is insufficient. This lead to a concept of an innovative roof ridge design which enhances the air exchange between the cavity and outdoor environment.

Thermomechanical tire model
Vaníček, Jan ; Štětina, Josef (referee) ; Porteš, Petr (advisor)
This diploma thesis is about thermomechanics of passenger car tires. The research part dealing with existing tire models is followed by the practical part. The practical part is based on the designs of thermomechanical models. The first model determines a dependence of temperature on the air pressure inside a tire when a temperature changes. The second thermomechanical model captures all the heat fluxes which affect a tire while a vehicle is in motion. The third thermomechanical model calculates temperatures of parts of the tire during driving tests. All models are programmed in MATLAB.
