Performance of the system for energy utilization from biomass
Koláček, Richard ; Máša, Vítězslav (referee) ; Pavlas, Martin (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the problems associated with acquisition of experimental data from technological unit for biomass combustion with nominal capacity of 1 MW, with regard to determination of thermal efficiency. In the introduction part, parameters of currently available biomass-based fuels as well as of those with large potential in the future are summarized. Further, a review in the field of biomass combustion technology is given. Biomass boilers are compared according to their technical parameters, function and benefits and drawbacks. In theoretical part methods for determination of thermal efficiency by direct method, indirect method and modified indirect method are described. Main parameters influencing resultant values of efficiency are included into the analysis. In final part an evaluation of real operational data from prototype unit combusting wooden chips is made. Recommendations for further experimental data gathering and their processing with the aim to evaluate thermal efficiency are suggested.

Thermodynamic cycles used in power engineering
Suchomel, Josef ; Kracík, Petr (referee) ; Baláš, Marek (advisor)
Power engineering is one of the most important parts of industry. Among other things, it deals with production of electricity, without which many of us can no longer even imagine life. All energy devices can be described on the basis of different thermodynamic cycles. And with these thermodynamic cycles this thesis deals. It lists both, the most important cycles, such as Rankin Clausius cycle, which is the basic cycle of most of the power plants, as well as less known, resp. almost new thermodynamic cycles. The emphasis of the whole work is also focused on the advantages and limitations of the stated cycles and on their application in practise, too.

Camshaft design for Miller cycle engine
Dúlovcová, Gabriela ; Beran, Martin (referee) ; Svída, David (advisor)
The main aim of this thesis is the analysis of influence of inlet valve opening length and compression ratio on performance and thermodynamic parameters of Miller cycle using GT-SUITE software. Next step was an optimization of inlet and exhaust valve timing with goal of increasing motor effective power. For chosen option was designed cam shaft with regard of kinematic and dynamic magnitude courses.

System for measuring of thermal efficiency of solar absorbers
Řiháček, Jan ; Podaný, Kamil (referee) ; Mrňa, Libor (advisor)
The thesis deals with the measurement system for determining the thermal efficiency of the newly developed types of solar absorbers. Measuring equipment allows simultaneous indoor or outdoor thermal efficiency detection of up to four samples absorbers. Emphasis is placed on the flow and heat transfer medium temperature changes. For this purpose is used Biotech FCH-m-POM-LC and LM35DZ sensors. Sensor signal is transferred to a PC using the measuring module NI USB-6221. Here it is further processed by proposed evaluation program. The software is implemented in LabVIEW integrated development environment. In a final part are performed a verification measurements to assess system performance and evaluate the thermal efficiency of various types of solar absorbers. This path is also demonstrated high efficiency applications absorbent layer coating color RABSORB 5.

Unconventional heat cycles
Snášel, Jan ; Košner, Jan (referee) ; Jedelský, Jan (advisor)
The bachelor thesis is describing four unconventional heat cycles and devices which are using them. It is Stirling cycle, organic-Rankine cycle, Kalina cycle and Brayton cycle. The cycles are described in terms of the main parts of their devices and in terms of their thermomechanical principle. In thesis are also stated applications for each cycle and their advantages and disadvantages. There are also stated formulas for the ideal cases of cycles to calculate specific work done, specific input heat flow and efficiency of cycle.

Biomass Heating Power Plant Brno-nord
Saňka, Marek ; Skála, Zdeněk (referee) ; Fiedler, Jan (advisor)
The master’s thesis topic is the feasibility study of new biomass source construction in power heating plant Brno-North. The first part is focused on historical and current conditions and future development of heat distributions networks and sources of Brno. The power heating plant operation Brno-North is described in more detail including the current heat scheme of operation and plan for the future development. Next chapters are focused on projection of new biomass source. At first, it is defined heat output, operation range and parameters of the new source based on the data of real needs after the heating network modernization. Afterward, selected conceptual variants of the new source are discussed in more detail and for each of the variants are performed heat balance calculation and assembled heat scheme of operation. At the same time it is processed warehouse management calculation and economic analysis of the project. The final chapter evaluates the technical and economic parameters of variants and recommends the most suitable variant of the project.

Ideal cycles of internal combustion engines
Marušák, Ondřej ; Jedelský, Jan (referee) ; Štětina, Josef (advisor)
The thesis set out the basic thermodynamic circulation and their properties. For these orbits are shown ideal cycles gas engine and diesel engine, in which investigating thermal efficiency depending on the change in their characteristic parameters. The results are reported in tables and diagrams. For each of the engines is also a table with most values the compression ratio, the final compression pressure, the final compression temperature and maximum combustion pressure. Finally, we compare the thermal efficiency of the two orbits in the T-s diagrams.

Study on the potential of an integrated waste-to-energy unit
Freisleben, Vít ; Turek, Vojtěch (referee) ; Jegla, Zdeněk (advisor)
This diploma thesis is focused on the design of technological modifications of the existing industrial unit „waste-to-energy“, used for thermal treatment of process waste gases containing VOC and CO while flue gas is produced. The main objective of the existing unit modification is to improve its operating parameters considering economy, ecology and energy utilization. In the first part, the current industrial plant was presented with all necessary process data. Furthermore, all the key equipment used for the waste gases treatment or for the utilization of waste heat was identified. In the main part of the thesis there are performed modifications of the existing unit including the technology of existing heat exchangers intensification, the design of new and more efficient heat exchangers and finally the catalytic oxidation technology implementation for the decomposition of pollutants contained in the waste gas. The result of the thesis is a technical, economic and ecological comparison of the proposed technological modifications with the existing operation.
