Spray Cooling at High Temperatures
Chabičovský, Martin ; Čarnogurská, Mária (referee) ; Hajduk, Daniel (referee) ; Raudenský, Miroslav (advisor)
Spray cooling of hot surfaces is used in the metallurgical industry during continuous casting, hot rolling or heat treatment. The water is sprayed on the cooled surface by the nozzle which transforms the water stream to droplets. The spray cooling of hot surfaces can be characterized as forced convection with the presence of the boiling. This physically complicated process is influenced by many factors, such as impurities and contaminants in the water, water temperature, water flow rate, droplet size, droplet impact velocity, surface temperature, surface roughness or the presence of oxides (scales) on the cooled surface. The dominant factor that affects the heat transfer during the spray cooling is the water impingement density. Other factors have a smaller but also significant effect. This doctoral thesis deals with the influence of the water temperature, surface roughness and the presence of oxides on the intensity of the spray cooling. These factors are investigated by laboratory experiments in which the hot steel surface is spray cooled. Effect of the oxide layer is also investigated by the numerical simulation. The experimental results are theoretically explained and generalized using mathematical methods.

Development of a mathematical model for the prediction of the heat transfer coefficient during spray cooling of hot steel surfaces
Oberta, Brian ; Resl, Ondřej (referee) ; Chabičovský, Martin (advisor)
Spray cooling of hot surfaces is used in the metallurgical industry for continuous casting, hot rolling and heat treatment. The water is sprayed by the nozzle on the cooled surface. Physically speaking, the process of cooling can be characterized as forced convection with the presence of the boiling. The spray cooling is influenced by the factors depanding on characteristics of cooling liquid (water impingement density, water temperature, droplet size, impact velocity) and characteristics of cooled surface (surface temperature, surface roughness, presence of oxides, type of material). In the moment, there are not exact physical equation which can precisly describe the complicated process of heat transfer during spray boiling. This thesis deals with the creation of the model for prediction of the heat transfer coefficient during film boiling and the model for prediction of the Leidenfrost temperature. These models are depending on characteristics of spray cooling. The creation of the models is based on experimentaly mesured data. My created models are then compared with already published models.

Approximation of the cooling effects of water nozzles by mathematical functions
Hřibová, Veronika ; Mauder, Tomáš (referee) ; Štětina, Josef (advisor)
The Bachelor thesis deals with a cooling process of full cone water nozzles. It explains the principle of the continuous steel casting which these nozzles are used for. The basics of heat transfer and spray cooling are also described. The thesis then summarizes the way of the experiment with these nozzles. The purpose of the thesis is to choose an appropriate 3D mathematical function which would well characterize the distribution of the heat transfer coefficient under the nozzle and then create an algorithm for finding its parameters. The algorithm is programmed in MATLAB and implemented on the data gained by the experimental way for two types of full cone water nozzles.

Influence of the oxide layer on the cooling of steel surfaces
Resl, Ondřej ; Pohanka, Michal (referee) ; Chabičovský, Martin (advisor)
This thesis deals with the influence of the oxide layer on the spray cooling of steel surfaces. As part of the work steel samples with oxide layer are made and the thickness, porosity and surface roughness of this layer are characterized. The average thermal conductivity of porous oxide layer is determined for different regimes of oxidation. Further, the influence of the oxide layer on the heat transfer coefficient during the spray cooling is experimentally investigated on created samples and the basic numerical simulation of the cooling is done for selected experiment with oxide layer. The thesis also contains theoretical introduction to given issue.

The Influence of Remaining Water and other Significant Factors on Cooling Intensity during Heat Treatment of Steel
Resl, Ondřej ; Macháčková,, Adéla (referee) ; Hajduk, Daniel (referee) ; Pohanka, Michal (advisor)
Hundreds of milions tons of crude steel are produced worldwide every year. The crude steel is further processed mainly by hot rolling. It is necesary to control cooling process during heat treatment to achieve the required mechanical and physical properties of final products. Cooling is influenced by many parameters and that is the reason why optimal cooling intensity setting is very complicated. Knowledge of the influence of individual factors is crucial for proper cooling. This work deals with the study of the influence of surface quality (surface roughness, presence of oxides) on cooling intensity and the issue of remaining water. The term remaining water means thin water layer that remains on the cooled surface after cooling. As part of the work the influence of surface roughness and oxide presence on cooling of the moving steel surfaces is experimentally investigated using different types of water cooling. To assess the impact of these parameters, cooling is investigated on three different types of surfaces (rolled, grinded, oxidized) and the results are analysed. The influence of the remaining water on cooling is also experimentally investigated. Again, the different types of water cooling and surfaces are used.
