Combi-Cycle with piston engine
Kubik, Martin ; Caha, Tomáš (referee) ; Fiedler, Jan (advisor)
The scope of this diploma thesis of focused on processing and calculation of the technological scheme for combi-cycle power plant with piston engine using heavy fuel oil. There are analyzed demands of piston engine for HFO and design of technological process preparation. This thesis analyzes the suitable locations, service options and alternative solution - heating plant with piston engines. Benefits of each option are assessed in the economic model, assuming power as a source of base load and providing support services. The results are intended to assess feasibility of the investment project.

Design of Energy Systems Using Hydrogen as Fuel
Slováček, Adam ; Kermes, Vít (referee) ; Houdková, Lucie (advisor)
The subject of diploma thesis is to gather knowledge in the production and use of hydrogen. This work is devoted to a comparison of the previously existing processes for producing hydrogen, where the vast majority is filled of fossil fuel. Another section is devoted to new materials for the study based on a number of selected patents and the experiment promising new method for decomposition of water. Based on available data will be carried out energy balance and consequently will be drafted energy system using hydrogen as fuel. In conclusion will be future possibilities evaluated in the field of hydrogen energy.

Aircraft Piston Engines
Nepraš, Ondřej ; Svída, David (referee) ; Dundálek, Radim (advisor)
This thesis is focused on the overview of aircraft piston engines. Attention is devoted to known, nontraditional or other interesting construction types of aircraft piston engines largely from period of Second World War. This paper looks at the historical development of aircraft engines and propellers, and is followed by a detailed description of the piston engine design. The detailed description will form the main focus of the thesis. This will cover the main requirements and differences of aircraft piston engines types. Particular engines were selected, described and technical data was given.

Installation of the LYCOMING power unit into the Bristel UL aircraft
Kročil, Petr ; Juračka, Jaroslav (referee) ; Píštěk, Antonín (advisor)
This diploma thesis focuses on Lycoming drive unit mounting used in two-seater plane of VLA category (the very light aircraft). In the beginning characteristics of currently produced Bristell aircrafts are described. Following chapters aim at research selection of new drive unit mounting based on multi-criteria decision analysis. For selected unit, the weight, center of mass and flight performance are calculated. Additionally, the construction of engine mount is proposed. According to CS-VLA and CS-23 stress level of mounting is defined followed by strength verification. Later in this thesis, a suitable engine cover for engine and cockpit cooling is proposed. A complete fuel system is described in following chapter. Last chapter deals with financial costs of re-engining as well as aircraft operational costs.

Unconventional design for internal combustion engines
Šenkýř, Miroslav ; Imriš, Pavel (referee) ; Šplíchal, Miroslav (advisor)
The work is focused on unconventional concepts for internal combustion engines, namely, internal combustion engines of unusual structures. These are the engines that have different shapes of combustion chamber, shapes of shafts and specific output from the conventional concepts. This paper describes an unconventional engines as the Wankel engine and the Nutating engine. The work explains the construction, operating principle, advantages and disadvantages. Due to the continuous improvement of structures of these engines they have the future prospects in the aviation industry.
