This diploma thesis deals with the addition of automotive fuels and their effects. The aim was to evaluate the function and efficiency of fuel additives present in the fuel at gas stations, and subsequently to improve the fuels accordingly by adding additional individual chemical compounds. The theoretical part explains the concepts, functions and processes related to fuel additives and the basics of tribotechnology. The practical part deals with the process of testing the properties of fuels, their functions, additional additives and its impact for practical use.

Nanolubricants for practical applications
Sochor, Ondřej ; Frýza, Josef (referee) ; Svoboda, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is concerned with describing nanolubricants and enhancing their characteristics using suitable additives, such as nanoparticles. These can improve their tribological properties and reduce mechanical wear and friction between two surfaces. This thesis summarizes manufacturing, some features and mechanisms that apply to nanoparticles and nanolubricants. The main outcome of the work is a synthesis of acquired knowledge in the field of nanolubricants for the purpose of practical application and description of current trends in its research as being used as additives.

Degradace motocyklového oleje v průběhu provozu
Pukl, Zdeněk
The thesis is focused on the operational degradation of engine oil in four-stroke motorcycles and is dividend into two parts. The first part of the thesis is focused on the theoretical part, where tribology, lubricants and lubrication system is described. The experimental part of the work is focused on examineting engine oil degradation due to mileage. First, the monitored motorcycles and used oils are described. The results of measured density, viscosity and content of individual substances occurring in oils are described. Finally, a discussion and comparison of resulted trends with other experiments is performed.

Fuciman, Lukáš ; Dobrocký, David (referee) ; Sedlák, Josef (advisor)
The thesis deals with an evaluation of the surface texture of various materials, created by machining technologies (turning, milling and grinding). As for the theoretical part of the thesis, it contains a theoretical analysis of the effect of surface texture on friction, wear, coating and lubricating properties. The main emphasis is put on the analysis of the most frequently evaluated profile and surface parameters as well as their possible influence on the functional areas of machined parts. The experimental part includes evaluated and compared measured data based on the monitored parameters with benefits for machinery industry.

The effect of proteins on friction of artificial articular cartilage
Plachý, Tomáš ; Nečas, David (referee) ; Rebenda, David (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the influence of the composition of synovial fluid on the coefficient of friction of artificial cartilage. The effect of protein concentration and their combination with other components of synovial fluid on the coefficient of friction of CD hydrogels simulating artificial cartilage is observed. All experiments were performed at a constant load of 10 N, speed 10 mm / s, temperature 37 ° C. In experiments investigating the effect of a combination of hyaluronic acid and phospholipids together with proteins, concentrations corresponding to a healthy individual were used. In experiments where the effect of the proteins themselves and their own combinations was investigated, concentrations corresponding to both a healthy individual and patients with advanced osteoarthritis or patients with aseptic release of the prosthesis were used. The work shows that when using the proteins alone, or their combination, there is a decrease in concentration of friction coefficient with increasing concentration. However, if hyaluronic acid alone or phospholipids alone is added to the protein, the coefficient of friction increases. The reduction occurs only after the addition of the combination of acid and phospholipid.

Evaluation of lubricants for forming
Svobodová, Hana ; Podaný, Kamil (referee) ; Lidmila, Zdeněk (advisor)
The aim of this diploma thesis is experimental testing and evaluation of the suitability of lubricants for drawing stainless chromium - nickel austenitic steel X5CrNi18-10 and comparison of the results obtained from the work [51]. The testing was performed by modeling the friction between the traction edge and the retainer, which corresponds to the real production process at ACO Industries. The introductory part of the thesis describes the process of deep drawing, followed by a description of tribology and the effect of friction. The individual types and properties of lubricants are described in more detail. The main part of the work deals with the testing of lubricants. The results are then described and evaluated.

Improving friction of lubricated contacts by modifying thermal conductivity
Šnevajs, Matěj ; Hartl, Martin (referee) ; Šperka, Petr (advisor)
This thesis deals with an experimental study regarding the effects of the thermal conductivity of contact bodies on the friction, lubricant film thickness and temperature distribution in EHL contact. The thesis focuses on the configuration of the ball on disc contact. The contact body materials are characterized by a wide range of thermal properties. New contact pairs are proposed and used in the study in order to make the contact bodies’ thermal properties dependent on the behaviour of EHL contact. The colorimetric interferometry method is used to measure the lubricant film thickness and the infrared thermography method is used to observe the temperature distribution in EHL contact. The author presents the assumed mechanism of heat transfer within EHL contact on the basis of different heat transfer mechanisms. The same conditions – such as the Hertz pressure, mean entrainment speed, sliding speed and ambient temperature – are induced for all the contact pair combinations. That is why the differences in the results are attributed to the different thermal phenomena in the contact, caused by the thermal properties of the contact bodies. In the case of contact bodies with a reduced heat dissipation capability, a reduction of the friction coefficient of up to 50 % is observed, which is attributed to an increase in the lubricant temperature, resulting in a decrease in its viscosity. This is confirmed by the infrared thermography method, whereby a significantly higher lubricant temperature is observed in the case of a combination of contact materials with a lower heat dissipation capability.

Suitable lubricants for deep drawing of steel
Hřebíček, Pavel ; Staněk, Vojtěch (referee) ; Lidmila, Zdeněk (advisor)
The aim of this work is experimental evaluation of suitability of lubricants for drawing of stainless steel 1.4301 at elevated temperature, which corresponds to temperature in real process. The lubricant testing method is based on friction modeling between the pull edge and the retainer, which corresponds to the real process. Therefore, the design of the test fixture also conformed to this model. The result of the work is a comparison of the suitability of every single lubricants with the reference lubricant used in ACO Industries. The best results were obtained with AT Kalorex 650 S lubricant, which contains environmentally harmful additives.
