Solving of off-gas cooling system for removing contained solvents
Blažek, Pavel ; Kilkovský, Bohuslav (referee) ; Jegla, Zdeněk (advisor)
Diploma thesis deals with searching of the most appropriate solution of air mass cooling to clear away contained solvents. The solution is based on real and operated pharmaceutical unit. The cooling system is solved as systém of three tubular heat exchangers. In the first heat exchanger the air mass is cooled down by water, in the second by ice-cold water and brine R32 is used for cooling in the third heat exchanger. Heat exchanger system is solved for cooling the air mass which results in condensation of contained solvent – acetone.

Experimental support for the development of specific integrated equipment
Hrbáček, Jiří ; Jegla, Zdeněk (referee) ; Kilkovský, Bohuslav (advisor)
Regenerative heat exchangers are used in a wide range of industries and in the technical equipment of buildings. These heat exchangers play an important role in saving thermal energy and removing volatile organic compounds from flue gases. The theoretical part of the work deals with the division of regenerative exchangers into rotary and switching exchangers and the possibilities of their use. These types of heat exchangers are used in many applications, e.g. as a heat exchanger using waste heat to preheat the process gas (regeneration layer), or as catalysts to accelerate the reaction required to remove volatile organic compounds (catalytic layer), or as integrated equipment where both the regeneration layer and the catalytic layer. The aim of the diploma thesis is experimental support in the development of a computer program for the design of a specific integrated device. The program allows the calculation of the regeneration and catalytic bed, or both beds simultaneously, i.e. integrated equipment. The diploma thesis deals with the support of a mathematical model for the calculation of the regeneration bed. Pressure loss and heat transfer play an important role in the selection and subsequent calculation of a suitable bed. To calculate them, it is possible to find more available computational relationships that differ significantly in their accuracy. It is therefore necessary to select the most suitable ones for the computational model. The practical part of the work then deals with research, analysis, and assessment of the suitability of methods used to calculate pressure losses based on a comparison with the values measured on experimental equipment. Subsequently, the work deals with computational methods for determining the heat transfer coefficient of the packed bed. A significant part of the practical part deals with the modification of the experimental equipment for the verification of computational relations for the determination of heat transfer with measured data.

Technical and economic evaluation of the gas microturbine with the waste heat recovery system
Slovák, Rostislav ; Kilkovský, Bohuslav (referee) ; Máša, Vítězslav (advisor)
The use of gas microturbines as a primary unit in CHP is still weak in the industrial process. It gives the driving force to the main aim of this master thesis, which is the technical and economic evaluation of the gas microturbines waste heat recovery system, which is the key factor for their economic sustainability. Assignment contains description of CHP system that was gradually built in LENP laboratory, part of NETME Centre. The author has joined the final work before start-up of the CHP system. He presents and describes results of the first experiments on this unit. The flue gas of a microturbine was used for heating water by heat exchanger flue gas–water and for direct linen drying. The case study of laundry with capacity 10 tons per shift was developed in cooperation with companies in laundry care. Results of those tests were used to process integration and utilization of this professional industrial laundry All obstacles found and opportunities of the use of microturbines are comprehensively described and tested in case studies, which are simulated in Chemstation Chemcad Software. Results of the thesis are expected to be useful these fields: the use of gas microturbines in industry & energy savings in industrial laundries.

Pressure loss of catalyst carriers
Linda, Matúš ; Kilkovský, Bohuslav (referee) ; Jecha, David (advisor)
The diploma thesis is divided into four main parts. The first part deals with the issue of waste management and its energy utilization in waste incineration. Processed harmful substances produced by incineration as well as emission limits. It deals with the types of catalytic carriers, their description, production and more detailed processing of ceramic foam VUKOPOR. The second part is devoted to technologies utilizing catalytic processes and a more detailed specification of the process. In the third part there is processed the calculation methods for pressure losses for individual types of carriers. Fourth, the most extensive part describes the INTEQII experimental device, its technology and construction, as well as the principle of the practical part, measuring of the pressure losses of carriers. It includes the evaluation of pressure losses in separate categories of carriers, such as the bed, HoneyComb and VUKOPOR ceramic foam. Subsequently, a comparison of the pressure losses of all carriers is made relative to the reference size of 1 m. The impact of bonding of VUKOPOR foam samples on the size of pressure losses is discussed. At the end of this section, the suitability of calculation methods for individual carriers is evaluated, depending on the experimental pressure loss data.

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.

Verification of the model for predicting the properties of the combustion process
Horsák, Jan ; Kilkovský, Bohuslav (referee) ; Jegla, Zdeněk (advisor)
This work thoroughly analyzes a previously created computational model for predicting characteristic properties of the combustion process in an experimental combustion chamber. Any found shortcomings of the original model are removed and the model is further improved prior to its application on 11 real cases of combustion tests performed at various conditions and with various fuels. Data provided by the model are confronted with the data obtained during the combustion tests and the model accuracy is evaluated, based on local heat flux along the length of the combustion chamber. Finally, the overall usefulness of the model is determined by the means of evaluating the acquired accuracy values, and further possibilities of model improvement and use are presented.
