Flow sensor
Symerský, Tomáš ; Psota, Boleslav (referee) ; Kosina, Petr (advisor)
This diploma thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. In its first, theoretical part, deals with the theory of fluid and gas flow, heat transfer and diversification of sensors for flow measurement working on the electrical principle. It also deals with thermodynamic principle, which can be used for measuring very small flow and low-temperature ceramics that is used to implement microcanals for sensing very low flows. The practical part of the thesis deals with the very simulation of the entire structure in the program “COMSOL Multiphysics” - both in 2D and 3D views. Then there is shown the implementation and measurement of the flow sensor in a low-temperature ceramics, working on a thermodynamic principle.

Thermal Contact Resistance Under High Temperature
Kvapil, Jiří ; Návrat, Tomáš (referee) ; Brestovič, Tomáš (referee) ; Horský, Jaroslav (advisor)
Nowadays numerical simulations are used to optimize manufacturing process. These numerical simulations need a large amount of input parameters and some of these parameters have not been sufficiently described. One of this parameter is thermal contact resistance, which is not sufficiently described for high temperatures and high contact pressure. This work describes experimental measuring of thermal contact resistance and how to determine thermal contact conductance which can be used as a boundary condition for numerical simulations. An Experimental device was built in Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Laboratory, part of Brno University of Technology, and can be used for measuring thermal contact conductance in various conditions, such as contact pressure, initial temperatures of bodies in contact, type of material, surface roughness, presence of scales on the contact surface. Bodies in contact are marked as a sensor and a sample, both are embedded with thermocouples. The temperature history of bodies during an experiment is measured by thermocouples and then used to estimate time dependent values of thermal contact conductance by an inverse heat conduction calculation. Results are summarized and the dependence of thermal contact conductance in various conditions is described.

Selection of suitable fluid flow directions in laminar flow tubular cooler
Krobot, David ; Kohoutek, Josef (referee) ; Jegla, Zdeněk (advisor)
This master’s thesis is devoted to problematic of selection of suitable flow directions in double pipe heat exchanger. First chapter is oriented to the construction of tube heat exchangers. It is also discussed impact of construction solution to the flow character and changing of his process parameters. The difference between parallel and countercurrent flow is also occurred in this parts. The next chapter is focused to the basics of heat-hydraulic calculations of heat exchanger. This also means explanation of ways of heat transfer and heat exchanger function. There are told about specific access to the solving problem of fluid laminar flow. The third chapter is detailed focused to the calculating of heat exchanger. At first is discussed factors, which have impact to the flow character. Next are detailed descriptions of design and controlling calculations, including more alternative ways to solve it. Next chapter exploit those results for deciding, which flow arrangement will be better for given case. Last chapter contain realization and reformulating of process heat exchanger calculating to the program code in Maple. There is also description of used algorithms and operating with them, so any user could be able to work with it. In this master’s thesis are used many examples from attached programs on different parts.

Model predictive Control for continuous casting of steel
Zemanová, Hana ; Mauder, Tomáš (referee) ; Štětina, Josef (advisor)
In this thesis an equation of heat conduction including phase and structural changes is derived, involving various boundary conditions. It seems to be the most suitable to calculate the equation by enthalpy method. In this equation not only enthalpy occurs, but also the temperature, and in consequence the relationship between these variables is quite complicated. In this paper I use the values measured or calculated using solidifcation models. The calculation is implemented in Matlab Simulink, which is a very popular blocks scheme in common practice of regulation. The calculation is based on steady state set up with help of experts and as a result, the program could be put into practice. The program calculates the intensity of cooling according to the initial casting speed, casting inlet temperature and the desired temperature curves. The rate of inuence of cooling can be changed according to the given criteria. The thesis compares the surface temperatures and cooling in the case of a predictive controller is or is not applied in the program.

Design of optimal parameters of multilayer ceramic protective coating for high temperature applications
Dohnalík, Petr ; Hrstka, Miroslav (referee) ; Ševeček, Oldřich (advisor)
The main objective of this work was to design a suitable composition of a protective coatings, made of several different layers of specific materials - with respect to residual stress, induced due to a mismatch in thermal expansion coefficients of each layer. Protective coating in this work means both the thermal and the environmental barrier. These coatings protect components against high temperatures and harsh environment. In this work, necessary theoretical background in the field of the thermal and environmental barrier coatings is introduced. There are mentioned some basic design approaches, commonly used materials and processing methods for the coating structure. The literature review gives an overview of modeling of such coated structures, in particular it is devoted to the thermal barrier coatings deposited by air plasma spray process. The next chapter closely describes classical laminate theory used for calculation of residual stresses in the coating. One of the assumptions of this theory is homogenous temperature field through the coating’s thickness. However, in this work was revealed a way to extend the classical lamination theory of such cases, in which the temperatures vary along the thickness of the coating. In the practical part, the analytical model was used for designing suitable properties of some coatings, which were consists of two, three and four layers. The calculations were performed both for constant temperature and for the temperature gradient. All results obtained from analytical approach were verified by numerical calculations.

A Stefan problem of heat conduction with phase change and its exact solution
Kesler, René ; Mauder, Tomáš (referee) ; Klimeš, Lubomír (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with analytical solutions of heat conduction problems with phase change which are known as classical Stefan problems. At the beginning a differential equation of heat conduction is derived and a mathematical model of Stefan problem is formed. The greatest attention is paid to the derivation of analytical solutions for cases in which these solutions are obtainable. The MATLAB environment was chosen for implementation of the obtained solutions. The thesis also includes a description of the program and its graphical interface in MATLAB. The applicability of the program is demonstrated in several phase change problems.

Apparatus for measuring the thermal resistance of the gloves
Pelikán, Jakub ; Fišer, Jan (referee) ; Hejčík, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis deals with common problem health protection at work. Namely hand protection during the work in very cold environment. It’s an analysis of materials suitable for apparatus used for measuring the thermal resistance of the gloves. There was analysed a range of materials. Every single sample was tested for heat conductivity and afterwards was assessed the suitability of materials. Heat was generated by electricity. Ocured heat fields was assessed with thermocamera. After performed experiments of carbon fiber we haven’t reached any satisfying results which we could use for manufacturing of this device. On the other hand kapton film has given very interesting results which we would recommend eventually. Kapton film needs to be modify according to the method listed in the conlusion. This thesis gives us a clear overview and inspiration for additional research of this device. It finds it’s place in research facilities and companies manufacturing protective clothing.

Acceleration of numerical computation of heat conduction in solids in inverse tasks
Ondruch, Tomáš ; Komínek, Jan (referee) ; Pohanka, Michal (advisor)
The master's thesis deals with possible ways of accelerating numerical computations, which are present in problems related to heat conduction in solids. The thesis summarizes basic characteristics of heat transfer phenomena with emphasis on heat conduction. Theoretical principles of control volume method are utilized to convert a direct heat conduction problem into a sparse linear system. Relevant fundamentals from the field of inverse heat conduction problems are presented with reference to intensive computations of direct problems of such kind. Numerical methods which are well-suited to find a solution of direct heat conduction problems are described. Remarks on practical implementation of time-efficient computations are made in relation with a two-dimensional heat conduction model. The results are compared and discussed with respect to obtained computational time for several tested methods.
