Polymeric Hollow Fiber Heat Exchanger Design
Astrouski, Ilya ; Dohnal, Mirko (oponent) ; Horák, Aleš (oponent) ; Raudenský, Miroslav (vedoucí práce)
This Ph.D. thesis is focused on theory and experimental investigations developing of new knowledge about polymeric hollow fiber heat exchanger (PHFHE). The state-of-the-art study of plastic heat exchangers shows that their usage is limited by several niches where their advantages significantly dominates, or where the use of non-plastic competitors is not impossible. On the other hand, plastic heat exchangers (and PHFHEs in particular) are devices of increasing interest. It is shown that use of small tubes (fibers) allows PHFHEs to be more competitive than conventional plastic heat exchangers. Small hydraulic diameter of a fiber causes high heat transfer coefficients, reduces thermal resistance of plastic wall and allows it to create light and compact design. Detailed study of fluid flow and heat transfer inside the hollow fiber showed that conventional approaches for single-phase laminar flow can be utilized. Poiseuille number equal to 64 and Nussel number about 4 are recommended to be used to predict pressure drops and heat transfer coefficient, respectively. Additional attention should be paid to careful determination of fiber diameter and liquid properties (viscosity). Scaling effects, such as axial heat conduction, thermal entrance region and viscous dissipation can be neglected. The study of outside heat transfer showed that heat transfer on fiber bunches are intense and are competitive to contemporary compact finned-tube heat exchangers. The Grimson approach showed clear correlation with experimental results and, thus is recommended to predict heat transfer coefficients on fiber bunches. Two types of fouling (particulate- and biofouling) of outer fiber surface were experimentally studied. It was found that particulate fouling by titanium oxide particles is not intense and deposits can be removed relatively easy. However, fouling is much more intense when it is associated with biofouling caused by wastewater. In this case, smooth and low-adhesive surface of plastic is not sufficient precaution to prevent deposit formation.

Modelování zanášení procesních a energetických zařízení tuhými znečišťujícími látkami
Strouhal, Jiří ; Turek, Vojtěch (oponent) ; Hájek, Jiří (oponent) ; Jegla, Zdeněk (vedoucí práce)
Modelování partikulárního zanášení na bázi Výpočtové dynamiky tekutin umožňuje identifikovat výskyt problematických nánosů a najít vhodné úpravy podmínek a zařízení. Práce se zabývá transportem a ulpíváním tuhých částic. Velikosti částic se pohybují od jednotek po desítky m. Simulované podmínky odpovídají zanášení tuhých částic se zanedbatelným podílem kapalné fáze, kdy ulpívání probíhá na základě ztrát energie při dopadu částice, gravitaci, adhezi, deformaci nánosu a dynamickému tření. Práce je soustředěna na výběr vhodného modelu ulpívání tuhých částic, se zaměřením na modely kritické rychlosti, které vedle lokálních podmínek, vlastností částic a stěny zahrnují i vliv dopadové rychlosti. Byly provedeny citlivostní studie pro posouzení vlivu parametrů modelu a zahrnutí některých dílčích jevů. Simulace byly provedeny na případu experimentálního zařízení pro spalování tuhých paliv a obdržené výsledky porovnány s pozorovanými nánosy.
