Šupa, Jan ; Rusín, Karel (referee) ; Cupák, Petr (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with thermal qualities of moulding mixtures of foundry mould of various types of sand grains and a computer simulation of the solidification of the cast. The aim of this work is to compare the values of thermal qualities of moulding materials bonded with water glass taken in experimental measurements to the values of thermal qualities of moulding materials connected with organic binding agent contained in simulation software. A sample cast will be moulded in order to evaluate cooling capacities of individual moulding mixtures according the shift of thermal axis. These results will consequently be compared to the results of the simulation.

Study of Electric and Dielectric Properties of Alkali-Activated Aluminosilicate with Increased Electrical Conductivity
Florián, Pavel ; Pavlík, Zbyšek (referee) ; Matiašovský, Peter (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
This dissertation deals with the study of electric and dielectric properties of composite structures on the base of alkali-activated aluminosilicates with admixtures of various carbon particles. These materials fabricated from alkali-activated blast furnace slag, quarz sand, natrium water glass as alkali activator, water, dispersant and small amount of carbon admixture (carbon black, graphite powder, carbon fibers or carbon nanotubes) to increase electric conductivity may be used for example to construction of snow-melting, deicing and self-monitoring systems. Their current-voltage characteristics and impedance spectra were used for determination of electric and dielectric properties of these structures. The equivalent circuits were used for evaluation of impedance spectra. The results were correlated with thermal properties of these structures.

Veselá, Jana ; Krouská, Jitka (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
This work focuses on study of electric, dielectric and thermal properties of composite electrically conductive building materials composed of magnesium oxychloride cement and small amount of graphene and graphite admixtures. The aim of this work was to determine thermal properties of materials and create a model of electric current conduction mechanism in material. Electric and dielectric properties were determined with using of transient direct current measurement of resistivity and impedance spectroscopy. Thermal properties were investigated using transient step-wise method and fractal analysis of thermocamera data. Electrical resistivities of materials are determined from the direct current measurements. Model of transport of electrical charge carriers was evaluated by fitting impedance data to an equivalent electrical circuit model. Thermal conductivities and thermal capacities were determined by means of thermal measurements. The presented properties for example can be used for assessment of suitability for specific construction applications.

Study of thermal properties of sucrose
Pecháčková, Kateřina ; Lucie, Trhlíková (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
This work is focused on the study of thermal properties of materials that are used for accumulating heat on the basis of phase transition. These are mainly sugar alcohols (mannitol, erythritol) or carbohydrates (glucose) respectively. Thermal properties, thermal in particular, and thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity were measured in a wide range of temperatures comprising of the transformation from the solid to the liquid phase in the entire volume of substance. To study the temperature dependence of thermal properties, transient methods were used, that allow to determine the diffusion and relaxation time, thermal absorption coefficient and a parameter characterizing the properties of resources based on the fractal model of heat transfer (shape and the heating of the sample). Thermal parameters were determined from those values for defined ideal heat source (planar) and defined ideal heating (leap). There are results of three sucrose samples produced in the Opava refinery (unrefined, refined, clean). Differences in their thermal properties were studied. In addition, thermal properties of a pure solution (commercial) of sugar in distilled water at different concentrations were studied (1:1, 3:1, 1:3). The results presented in this thesis may be used to more efficient use of thermal energy in heating of dwellings, both with the use of solutions, which have a higher heat capacity than water and also with the use of phase transformation.

Study of passive stabilisation of building materials temperature
Šebek, Jan ; Pavlík,, Zbyšek (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
The topic of presented master’s thesis was study of passive stabilization of building materials temperature. The main goal of this thesis was measuring and characterization of the thermal properties of building materials, which are used to PCM technology. PCM technology is based on utilization of latent heat of phase change. At the beginning of this thesis it was needed to define physical principle of phase change, then the most usable PCM chemicals (e.g. paraffin, Glauber’s salt, hexahydrate calcium chloride) and their basic physical properties (especially thermo-physical), background research of building materials with PCM and also the methods of thermo-physical properties measurement. It was also needed to characterize measured building materials and define theirs thermal parameters; because the values of thermal parameters of measured samples were compared to these values. In the experimental part of my thesis are measurements of material thermal analysis, which are methods, where the properties of materials are studied as they change with temperature. I had used to differential scanning calorimetry, transient pulse method and other methods, which are usable for thermo-physical properties measuring and characterization. I have been much interested in properties of measured material, which were specific heat capacity, temperature diffusivity, heat conductivity and phase change temperature (the melting point of PCM). At the end of my thesis the findings of all methods were finally summarized, compared and commented.

Lapčíková, Tereza ; Menčík, Přemysl (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to study thermal properties of materials used for 3D printing (so-called filaments), especially a polylactic acid (PLA). Within the theoretical part there was performed the literature review focused on the description of different methods of 3D printing including the summary of suitable materials for these technologies. In particular, we focused on the preparation of PLA, its summarization of its chemical, physical and thermal properties and its practical use in 3D additive printing manufacturing, e.g. in biomedical applications. In the experimental part, PLA samples of different thicknesses were prepared by 3D printing technique and thermal properties such as thermal capacity and thermal conductivity were determined. It was found that thermal conductivity of studied material was 0,128 W/m/K and specific heat capacity 1335 J/kg/K. These values corresponded to the once given in the literature.
