Advanced Inverse Heat Conduction Methods
Komínek, Jan ; Čarnogurská, Mária (referee) ; Hajduk,, Daniel (referee) ; Raudenský, Miroslav (advisor)
Numerical simulations of thermal processes are based on known geometry, material properties, initial and boundaries conditions. The massive use of these simulations in the metallurgical industry (for example for simulation of heat treatment of steel) is limited by the knowledge of precise boundary conditions, which are not easy to determine in compare to other input parameters. Empirical formulas are not sufficiently accurate for most non-trivial processes. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain the boundary conditions by experimental way. Boundary conditions can not be measured directly. The boundary conditions are determined by solving inverse heat conduction problem based on the measured temperature records. This doctoral thesis focuses on two types of the inverse heat conduction problems, which are poorly solved by existing methods. The first type are tasks that contains sharp increase/decrease in the values of the boundary conditions. Two new approaches are proposed and compared in this thesis for this type of tasks. The second type are tasks with non-stationary and non-homogeneous cooling. Three new methods were developed for this case. They are applied for the case of water cooling of vertical aluminum sample. The base characteristics of the current task is inhomogeneous cooling. One part of the surface is cooled intensively by flowing water in contrast to the other part of surface which is cooled only with low intensity since it is protected from direct contact with water by the vapor layer (Leidenfrost effect). The positions of these two part of surface are not stationary (they change during the experiment). The newly developed methods are compared to each other.

Acceleration of numerical computation of heat conduction in solids in inverse tasks
Ondruch, Tomáš ; Komínek, Jan (referee) ; Pohanka, Michal (advisor)
The master's thesis deals with possible ways of accelerating numerical computations, which are present in problems related to heat conduction in solids. The thesis summarizes basic characteristics of heat transfer phenomena with emphasis on heat conduction. Theoretical principles of control volume method are utilized to convert a direct heat conduction problem into a sparse linear system. Relevant fundamentals from the field of inverse heat conduction problems are presented with reference to intensive computations of direct problems of such kind. Numerical methods which are well-suited to find a solution of direct heat conduction problems are described. Remarks on practical implementation of time-efficient computations are made in relation with a two-dimensional heat conduction model. The results are compared and discussed with respect to obtained computational time for several tested methods.

Mathematical Model of Membrane Distillation
Hvožďa, Jiří ; Komínek, Jan (referee) ; Kůdelová, Tereza (advisor)
Diplomová práce se zabývá membránovou destilací, především z matematické perspektivy. Jedná se o tepelně poháněný separační proces, ve kterém se pro rozdělení kapalné a plynné fáze používá porézní membrána. Kapalina se vypařuje a její plynná fáze prochází přes póry v membráně. Během tohoto procesu dochází k tepelné i látkové výměně, které jsou popsány systémem parciálních diferenciálnich rovnic. Další model je založen na analogii s elektrickými obvody, zákonu zachování energie, hmotnostní bilanci a empirických vztazích. Je ověřen s experimentálně naměřenými daty z nové alternativní destilační jednotky používající membránu a kondenzátor z polymerních dutých vláken. Výkon a účinnost jednotky jsou vyhodnoceny. Další možná vylepšení jsou navržena.

Determination of thermal conductivity anisotropy of polymeric heatsinks for electronics
Brachna, Róbert ; Kůdelová, Tereza (referee) ; Komínek, Jan (advisor)
The master's thesis focuses on creating a numerical model of a polymeric heat sink with emphasis on its significant thermal conductivity anisotropy. This anisotropy is caused by highly thermally conductive graphite filler. Its final orientation is given by the melt flow inside the mould cavity during injection molding. The numerical model is created on the basis of a heat sink prototype subjected to experimental measurements, whose physical conditions are reliably replicated by the model. The determination of anisotropy is divided into two parts. The qualitative part is based on the fracture analysis of the heat sink prototype and determines the principal directions of the conductivity tensor in individual sections of the geometry. The computation of principal conductivities falls into the quantitative part, in which this task is formulated as an inverse heat conduction problem. The input data for the proposed task are experimentally obtained temperatures at different places of the geometry. The values of principal conductivities are optimized to minimize the difference between the measured and simulated temperatures.

Processing of temperature data for inverse heat conduction tasks
Brachna, Róbert ; Komínek, Jan (referee) ; Luks, Tomáš (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with digital filters and noise removal from temperature measurements. The basic concept for the proper understanding of properties of filters is the discrete Fourier transform, which is illustrated on a given example. Next, the thesis considers linear filters and the design of basic types for noise reduction. An adaptive filter is designed by analyzing experimental data. This filter is subjected to further analysis using a simulated cooling process disrupted with artificially added noise and will be compared to other conventional filters. One criterion is to compare the curve of the filtered temperature to the simulated one. The second criterion is the reconstructed boundary condition, which is the output of the inverse heat conduction task.

Heuristic Algorithms in Optimization
Komínek, Jan ; Šeda, Miloš (referee) ; Roupec, Jan (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with genetic algorithms and their properties. Particular emphasis is placed on finding the influence of mutation and population size. Genetic algorithms are applied on inverse heat conduction problems (IHCP) in the second part of the thesis. Several different approaches and coding methods were tested. Properties of genetic algorithms were improved by definition of two new genetic operators – manipulation and sorting. Reported theoretical findings were tested on the real data of inverse heat conduction problem. The library for easy implementation of GA for solving general optimization problems in C ++ was created and is described in the last chapter.
