Mitigating vibration of internal combustion engines
Kožuch, Jonáš ; Böhm, Michael (referee) ; Fridrichová, Kateřina (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the problem of vibration damping of internal combustion engines. It gives an overview of the causes of vibration and describes them. The most dangerous phenomenon for the crankshaft is torsional vibration, and it is therefore important to eliminate this phenomenon as much as possible. An overview of current torsional vibration damping solutions is given. Torsional vibration dampers are divided into different groups. The division is mainly based on the type of construction and the way in which the dampers eliminate the vibrations. The final part focuses on the simulation of the crank dynamics in GT-Suite. In the simulations, the parameters of the rubber torsional damper are varied, specifically the moment of inertia and the Maxwell model settings. Then, their effect on torsional vibration is investigated. The output is the ideal damper parameters for a given engine model.

Computational prediction of operating parameters of cogeneration units
Kašpar, Jakub ; Daxner, Ján (referee) ; Jegla, Zdeněk (advisor)
The focus of this work is on gas-fired combined heat and power (CHP) units with internal combustion engine. The aim is to present and analyse a prediction model with subsequent modification and experimental validation. This is preceded by a proper theoretical introduction to CHP units. First, the role of CHP in the transformation of the contemporary energy sector, which is under increasing demands, is outlined. Next, the types of CHP units are briefly introduced, including their advantages. This is followed by a detailed description of their design together with the factors influencing their operating parameters. For the understanding of the subject, emphasis is placed on the description of analytical relations in the field of thermomechanics and physical chemistry. Furthermore, the modelling of CHP is approached based on knowledge gained during the study and work experience in the field of CHP units. The final adjusted predictive model shows deviations of up to 12 % with respect to the nominal parameters. When validated with experimental data, it shows a deviation of up to 31,1 %. In general, the model is not suitable for accurate prediction of operating parameters. However, it has been successfully validated in determining the trend of the dependence of the operating parameters on the hydrogen concentration in the fuel.

Operation of electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles and vehicles with an internal combustion engine
Herzog, Radim ; Píštěk, Václav (referee) ; Kučera, Ondřej (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the comparison of different propulsion concepts and their consumption, efficiency, and amount of emissions produced during operation. Although electric vehicles do not produce any local emissions, it is necessary to consider that emissions are generated during the production of electricity in power plants. The main part of the thesis introduces the functional principles of individual propulsion systems. Furthermore, it describes the formation of exhaust gas emissions in combustion engines and outlines their limits. Subsequently, the amount of emissions produced by a power plant for the operation of a specific example of an electric vehicle and a hybrid vehicle is calculated. Finally, a comparison of emissions production from representative examples of each propulsion system is illustrated.

Bycicle with Combustion Engine and Electrical Transfer of Power
Mazálek, Tomáš ; Huták, Petr (referee) ; Vorel, Pavel (advisor)
The objective of this semester thesis is design of the control algorithm, needed control and power circuits and PCB design for the unfinished bicycle concept with a combustion engine and electric power transmission. The control algorithm had to be designed to make efficient use of the combustion engine performance and to minimalize the fuel consumption and noise level of the device. All circuits are fully implemented by analog components for which were designed printed circuit boards using program Eagle and this boards were revived and debugged.

Piston of a spark-ignition engine for 3-D printing
Zelko, Lukáš ; Dlugoš, Jozef (referee) ; Drápal, Lubomír (advisor)
The goal of the thesis was to design a piston manufactured by conventional method and subsequently adjusted one for additive manufacturing. Beside the designs, thermo-structural model was created for both pistons, considering maximal loading of the engine. Analysis evaluation showed the possibility of further application of the new technology in comparison to current one, within automotive industry.

Combi -cycle with Diesel Engine and Steam Turbine
Bouše, Richard ; Kubiš, Richard (referee) ; Fiedler, Jan (advisor)
This master’s thesis deals with the possibility of increasing efficiency of energy blocks with combustion engines by the combination of the Sabat and Clausius-Rankine cycle into the combined cycle. In the thesis is briefly described the principle of the function of the auxiliary device, which can increase the efficiency of the combustion engine. This device, which consists of a waste heat boiler and two turbine modules, is designed using calculations. Both turbine modules are prepared with drawing documentation and there are described important structural elements. Each key part of the thesis is given by a brief theory, so the basic theory of combustion engines, waste heat boilers and steam turbine are described.
