Fuel cells in personal transport
Říha, Stanislav ; Blaťák, Ondřej (referee) ; Zháňal, Lubor (advisor)
This thesis is oriented to historical evolution of fuel cell, his total analysis, description of single disadvantage and advantage with which fuel cells battle. An other reason for urgency of using alternative fuel, brief description of car market and possible guess of fuel cell's future in personal transport are involved in an other part of this thesis. The end of the thesis deal with cars of fuel cells split in parts according to single car companies.

A fuel cell, as an alternative source of electricity
Kürthy, Marián ; Šen, Hugo (referee) ; Pospíšil, Jiří (advisor)
The work deals with fuel cell technology, the principle of fuel cells and their division. Also there is presented an option of natural gas utilization as a fuel for fuel cells in this work. In the end of this work two scenarios of fuel cell usage in microcogeneration are introduced and there is also a technical economic evaluation of fuel cell microcogeneration unit used in these scenarios.

Two-fuel systems of CI engines
Malinský, Marek ; Svída, David (referee) ; Dundálek, Radim (advisor)
The aim of this project is to point out the significance of binary-fuel compression-ignition engines and alternative fuels. It introduces comparison of bio fuels and its influence on the function of the engine, and ecological load. It especially raises bio oil as an alternative fuel for compression-ignition engines. Advantages and disadvantages of bio fuels, most common defects and their consequences, and development trends are also mentioned.

Modelling of water transport in the polymer electrolyte membrane of a fuel cell
Šimek, M. ; Němec, Tomáš ; Maršík, František
A brief review of recent literature on proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) modelling is presented and the governing equations of the transport processes in the proton exchange membrane are presented. Consequently, the model of water transport in the membrane electrode assembly of a fuel cell in commercial software FLUENT is investigated. The aim of this work is to test the possibilities of the PEMFC modelling using FLUENT. Special attention is given to the water management and the properties of the fuel cell membrane.of four binary mixtures, i.e. diethylether - nitrogen, propane - carbon dioxide, isobutane - carbon dioxide, and chlorodifluoromethane - carbon dioxide. The predictions of the classical nucleation theory show very good agreement with the measured nucleation rates.
