Low-cost sensors for measurement of particulate matter
Dvořáková, Michaela ; Pokorný, Jan (referee) ; Lízal, František (advisor)
This work focuses on the research and comparison of several types of low-cost sensors for measurement of particulate matter. It clarifies the principles of aerosol particles measurement and focuses on the reasons of using low-cost sensors. It provides basic information about the impact of aerosols on human health. The experimental part of this work compares quality of the obtained results considering the price of the respective devices.

Measurement and analysis of deposition of fibers from mineral wool in respiratory system
Hájek, Ondřej ; Elcner, Jakub (referee) ; Lízal, František (advisor)
This master thesis deals with inhalation of fine particles and fibres into human lungs. This is a scientific field where computer modelling is used to describe the movement of fibres and their deposition in the lungs. However, the results of these simulations must be verified experimentally. The prediction of fibres behaviour is important from a toxicology point of view where it is important to know deposition hot-spots and places where fibres could possibly cause problems. The review of the state-of-the-art is focused on the deposition of particles in human lungs followed with a chapter on fibre as a type of particle, and occupational exposure limits set by different world associations. The last theoretical chapter describes human lungs and its diseases which can evolve when limits for occupational exposure are not met. The experimental chapter consists of a description of the used experimental setup and results from an experiment together with a comparison of results with other similar experiments.

Advanced laser diagnostic systems to measure flow field
Loutocký, Petr ; Lízal, František (referee) ; Jedelský, Jan (advisor)
The aim of this work is to give readers a comprehensive view of the present laser methods for measuring the velocity of fluid flow. The methods are classified and compared according to various criteria. Individual techniques are briefly outlined their principles of measurement, options and range of applications. Furthermore, this work discusses the advantages and disadvantages, appropriate areas of application and the basic parameters. At the end we can find a sample analysis of data measured by one method.

Influence of operational conditions on spray characteristics of twin-fluid atomizers
Zaremba, Matouš ; Lízal, František (referee) ; Jedelský, Jan (advisor)
This master’s thesis deals with measurement of spray characteristics of Effervescent atomizers intended for burning waste and heavy fuels. Atomizers were tested on cold test bench by means of Phase Doppler Anemometry. Spray characteristics were evaluated for many different regimes of pressure, temperature and Gas to liquid ratio. The aim of this measurement is to compare flow regimes and their influence on the quality of spray characteristics. The theoretical part describes basic fundamental principles of liquid atomization, effervescent atomization and principles of laser diagnostic methods. The practical part is engaged with improvements in test bench and setting up and optimization of the laser measuring system. Results contain visualization of spray, velocity profiles and drop size distribution in various operating flow regimes of the jet.

Engineering solutions for mitigation of climate change - methods applicable at the source of greenhouse gases
Remeková, Valentína ; Jedelský, Jan (referee) ; Lízal, František (advisor)
This work aimed to produce a research study on the topic of engineering solutions designed to mitigate climate change and which are applicable at the source of greenhouse gases. The first part outlines the fundamental matters of climate change. The second part focuses on technologies CCS (Carbon capture and storage) which capture and sequester carbon dioxide and possible options for separating CO2 from flue gases. The third chapter describes technologies CCU (Carbon capture and utilization) that use captured carbon as a product for further use. The future of these technologies and other abatement methods are addressed in the following section. The financial aspects of solutions for climate change mitigation are discussed in chapter five. The last part summarizes the main advantages, disadvantages, findings, and limitations of research.

Automotive ventilation system - comparison of an influence of boundary conditions on flow from various types of ventilation outlets
Brdečko, Radim ; Pokorný, Jan (referee) ; Lízal, František (advisor)
Diploma thesis deals with a research of the flow in front of three different automotive vents. The velocity field and intensity of the turbulence was measured in detail, using thermoanemometry. After that the same data was measured with PIV method and validation was performed. The difference between achieved data was investigated. The design among the vents was also investigated, because it’s fundamentally affects the air flow. The purpose of this thesis is to obtain data about the velocity field using two methods and their subsequent use to validate numerical simulations, which will be performed in the future. The diploma thesis also contains the calculation of measurement uncertainty.

Application of thermal camera for analysis of heat
Palička, David ; Pokorný, Jan (referee) ; Lízal, František (advisor)
Within this bachelor degree thesis I have focused on the thermal losses from storage tanks serving as asphalt binders. I have used the theory of non-contact temperature measurements using a thermovision camera. In the first part of this document I deal with the history, theory and some basic principles of non-contact temperature measurements. In the second part I am examining the thermovision camera settings. The third part considers the function of the asphalt mixture production plant itself, as well as the function of storage tanks. In the last part of this thesis I analyze the results of the measurements. The goal of this analysis is to compare results of thermal losses from storage tanks heated with thermal oil, and storage tanks heated with an electrical thermocouple.
