Computational analysis of pressurized water reactor core behaviour using PARCS code
Novotný, Filip ; Ing. Jan Frýbort, Ph.D., KJR FJFI ČVUT v Praze (referee) ; Katovský, Karel (advisor)
The Master Thesis performs search concerning advanced small and medium power light-water reactors’ designs, including different possibilities to gain a license for their development and operation. The work covers the principal theory about the area of neutronics calculations, principal equations and simplifications. There are several different methods for solution of neutronics calculations. The thesis gives an overview of two principal groups of codes – deterministic methods and Monte Carlo method. The survey shows computational codes examples based on mentioned methods. The computational code PARCS is chosen for further study, which contained description of the input and output file, process of the model creation and conditions for neutronics calculation the of selected reactor design. Based on these facts, the transient calculation has been prepared within the thesis. Thee analyses are described – reactor emergency shutdown, reactor shutdown with stuck group of control and emergency shutdown rods and reactor shutdown with faulty reaction of emergency shutdown rods.

Thermodynamic modelling of hydrogen fuel cells
Nováček, Marek ; Pavelka, Michal (advisor) ; Němec, Tomáš (referee)
In this thesis, proton exchange membrane fuel cells are studied. At the beginning, the ideas underlying their function are exposed and some possibilities of usage are pre- sented. Thereafter, we aim to describe the processes inside the fuel cells with the aid of thermodynamics and in agreement with constitutive relations that have been obtained experimentally. Namely, we are interested in the fluxes of water and protons inside the membrane, where they are acted upon by thermodynamic forces, and the electrochemical reactions at the electrodes, which can be described by the Butler-Volmer equations. Also do we study the efficiency of the fuel cell by evaluating the production of entropy due to the diverse processes that take place in the fuel cell. It is the goal of the computational part of this thesis to propose a zero-dimensional model and compare it with the results provided in the supervisor's doctoral thesis. 1

Relation between Schrödinger equation and diffusion equation
Poprocký, Mojmír ; Stránský, Pavel (advisor) ; Cejnar, Pavel (referee)
The Schrodinger's equation and the diffusion equation can be written in a similar form. While the Schrodinger's equation is complex, the diffusion equation is real. In this thesis we wish to outline similarities of both equations. We present a way to treat a problem in non-relativistic quantum mechanics as a diffusion process. This shows that under certain circumstances both theories are equivalent. We demonstrate this on a few simple examples.
