Characteristic parameters of fuel nozzles
Ledererová, Lucie ; Zejda, Vojtěch (referee) ; Bělohradský, Petr (advisor)
Many industrial applications acquire necessary thermal energy through the combustion process. The basic element of each combustion appliance is a burner and one~part~of~it~is a~nozzle system that supplies fuel to a combustion chamber. The geometry of the fuel nozzle significantly affects the intensity of mixing the fuel with the combustion air and thus the stability of the combustion. The main subject of~this diploma thesis is~determination of~velocity coefficients for nozzles with different geometries. The knowledge of~correct values of~velocity coefficients is a key parameter for the design of~the burner and~its subsequent operation. For the calculation of~velocity coefficients, the exit nozzle velocities were used. For chosen nozzles, a~theoretical exit nozzle velocities were calculated. They were compared with the actual exit nozzle velocities, which were measured experimentally using the hot-wire anemometry, and with velocities, which were calculated using the CFD simulation method.

Discharge coefficients for nozzles of a low-NOx gas burner
Zifčáková, Barbora ; Bojanovský, Jiří (referee) ; Juřena, Tomáš (advisor)
Nozzles belong to the main parts of a low-NOx gas burner. Their purpose is to transport fuel into a combustion system. One way of judging a quality of a nozzle is to define its discharge coefficient. It expresses an efficiency of energy conversion – from pressure to kinetic energy. In this thesis the discharge coefficients of several nozzles were established, using Ansys Fluent software for computer simulation. A calculation was tuned to a reference geometry and then applied to other geometries of nozzles, which were both planar and spatial. Numerically obtained data were compared with experimental data. The benefits of this thesis are comparism of two main methods of flow modelling (Scalable Wall Function and Enhanced Wall Treatment) and formulation of a calculation methodology for this type of physical problem. The results provided by this thesis might be used for both another study and experimental research.
