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.

Mathematical model of the 1.5TSI engine
Michalička, Matúš ; Beran, Martin (referee) ; Svída, David (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the creation of a mathematical model of an internal combustion engine in Matlab or Simulink using built-in libraries. The thesis also includes a detailed analysis of two already created models, which are found in the examples of the program used. The analysis summarizes the different approaches to the creation of mathematical models, their possibilities, and the method of calculation. The thesis further deals with the construction of a mathematical model of an internal combustion engine. The development of the model is followed by measurements done on a specified 1.5 TSI internal combustion engine. Finally, the simulation results of the developed model are directly compared with the measurement results.

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.

Direct combustion of the Hydrogen in the combustion engine
Veger, Lukáš ; Poulíček, Matěj (referee) ; Böhm, Michael (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the comparison of hydrogen as a fuel for an internal combustion engine against conventional fuels used in vehicles. The quantities compared are density, energy required for ignition, stoichiometric ratio, calorific value, octane number and flame propagation speed. The second part is devoted to the analysis of the implementation of hydrogen as a fuel for an internal combustion engine, both compression ignition and spark ignition. Important elements of prevention against hydrogen leakage or prevention of its concentration outside the combustion space were also described here. A well-to-wheels comparison of hydrogen production using the SMR method, and the solar electrolysis method was conducted, where the energy consumption and the production of harmful emissions were compared. Furthermore, the parameters of individual drive systems were compared, which included a conventional petrol engine, an electric drive, a hybrid drive, a biofuel burning engine, a hydrogen combustion engine, and a hydrogen fuel cell. The monitored parameters were the production of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide emissions, energy efficiency and range. Finally, the simulation compared a hydrogen spark ignition engine with a gasoline spark ignition engine. Gt-suite program was used. The monitored parameters were performance parameters, production of nitrogen oxide emissions, specific fuel consumption and the dependence of the course of pressure in the combustion chamber on the rotation of the crankshaft.

Study of the ecological impact of production, operation and disposal of various types of cars
Kutnar, Václav ; Jandová, Kristýna (referee) ; Jaššo, Kamil (advisor)
To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, countries have focused on (among other things) automobile transport. However, there are different car powertrains, and each produces a different amount of emissions from different parts of their lifecycles, which also vary from state to state. Knowing exact, comparable values is necessary for deciding how to reduce these emissions most efficiently and economically possible. Existing studies often focus on only one part of the life cycle and/or are not localized to a particular state. This study analyses the entire life cycle of a vehicle and its fuel or energy for a vehicle manufactured, operated, and recycled in the Czech Republic. It draws on existing studies, supplemented by data from state agencies, vehicle manufacturers, and our calculations. It was found that in the Czech Republic, compared to a vehicle with a petrol internal combustion engine (ICEVg), an electric vehicle (BEV) has 33% lower total GHG emissions, and a vehicle with hydrogen fuel cells (FCEV) 19% lower. However, an internal combustion engine vehicle has lower emissions from its production and as a result, its cumulative emissions are lower than an electric vehicle until 70,000 km driven and a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle until 111,000 km

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.
