Optimization of the cockpit ventilation system of a small transport aircraft
Vícena, Ondřej ; Charvát, Pavel (referee) ; Fišer, Jan (advisor)
This thesis deals with the optimization of the cockpit ventilation system of a small transport aircraft. The current system does not allow the ECS system to function without activating the main engines, which limits its effectiveness in ground operations. The theoretical part provides a basic theoretical framework for understanding and evaluating the thermal comfort in the cockpit, including heat transfer modes, cabin microclimate during different operating modes, and the definition of fundamental concepts related to ECS in pressurized and non-pressurized cabins. The experimental part focuses on the extension of the system with a suitable electric motor fan to provide cabin air supply even during ground operations at the airport. It includes testing the thermal effect of the supplied untreated air on the human body using a thermal manikin and a cabin simulator. In addition, heat removal from the body surface and subjective thermal sensation at different airflows and outlet routing were investigated for ambient temperature.

The use of artificial substrates for evaluation of effluent water quality from organic and conventional carp ponds
GRACÍK, Jan
The objective of this diploma thesis was to evaluate the quality of the water after flow through the ponds with conventional (Blatensko, Czech Republic) and organic (Waldviertel, Austria) technologies using the colonization of artificial substrates by macrozoobenthos (MZB) to asses the differences in the influence of different managements of pond farming (organic vs. traditional) on water quality. Samplings were performed in monthly intervals (AprilSeptember 2016) at nine inflow and outflow profiles of four ponds. Samples of MZB were processed in the laboratory. Evaluation of MZB was supplemented by in-situ monitoring of basic parameters of the aquatic environment. The resulting values of saprobic index (SI) match the water quality in outlets in the range valid for the beta to alpha mesosabrobity (SI 2.302.62). In the inlets to the Skaličný and Haslauerteich ponds, where the SI value corresponded the betamesosabrobity (SI 2.482.49), the discharged water quality in the outlet was insignificantly (p>0,05) deteriorated to the alphamesosabrobity (SI 2.54 2.62). On the contrary, in the inlet to the Gebhartsteich pond, where the value SI matched the alphamesosabrobity (SI 2.57), water quality in the outlet was insignificantly (p>0,05) slightly improved (SI 2.54), but the degree of saprobity has not changed. Similarly, in the inlet to the Pančár pond, where the SI value matched betamesosabrobity (SI 2.30), the outlet water quality was insignificantly (p>0,05) slightly deteriorated (SI 2.33), however again the degree of saprobity remained unchanged. Water quality changes after the flow through the investigated ponds resulted in the increase of the diversity index (H´) and vice versa (the worse water quality the lower H´). According to the analysis of the data of environmental conditions in organic and conventional carp ponds, they did not differ significantly. Also the species richness and the total number of individuals were not significantly different. The results of this diploma thesis demonstrated that the applied organic technologies of fish culture in monitored ponds did not have any significant impact (improvement) on the quality of aquatic environment and the composition of macrozoobenthos in the recipients of farm outflows, and also that no significant differences (deterioration) can be documented in the outflows from conventional ponds compared to the organic pond farming management.
