Pressure losses in heating systems
Švanda, Martin ; Horká, Lucie (referee) ; Počinková, Marcela (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with pressure losses in heating systems. The diploma thesis is divided into three sections. The first part is theoretical and deals with the occurrence of pressure losses. It discusses the properties of the fluid that affect pressure losses. It also deals with hydrodynamic phenomena, flow distribution, pressure loss distribution and its calculations. The aim of the second part, which is practical, was to create a heating project for a selected object. The object is a two-floor kindergarten building located in Velké Němčice. For this project, two heating variants were created. For the first variant, radiators and heating benches were designed and for the second variant, underfloor heating was installed in the building. The goal was to use a source which will gain heat mainly from renewable sources, so the air / water heat pump was chosen as the source of heat production. The project ends with a technical report. The third part of the thesis is dedicated to an experiment which purpose was to find out how the pressure losses of the connecting pieces are reacting to the change with the change of the heating water conditions (flow, temperature). Alongside, two pipes were created which differed in the type of connecting pieces so it allowed to compare how their pressure losses differ. Both pipes were connected by radial pressing, but the fittings differed in the quality of the brass, and therefore in the construction. Also, part of the experimental section of the diploma thesis is a description of the course of radial pressing of fittings from the Herz company.

Simulation and determination of permanent pressure loss for the normalized orifice plate
Šimberský, Michal ; Uher, Miroslav (referee) ; Šedivá, Soňa (advisor)
This master’s thesis deals with the simulation of flow through the normalized orifice plate. There is described flow measurement with flowmeters, which reduces the cross-section of the pipe and causes the pressure difference before and after the flowmeter. Following is a description methods of modeling of turbulent flow and a description of software for the simulation of flow from the company Ansys. The theoretical part is followed a practical part, which is focused on determining the permanent pressure loss caused by the orifice plate and the verification of straight pipeline lengths between orifice and obstacle.

Design optimization of water-cooled thermocouple probe
Dohnal, Miloslav ; Vondál, Jiří (referee) ; Hájek, Jiří (advisor)
The object of this bachelor’s thesis is to create a computational model of an existing (basic) structure water-cooled thermocouple probe, to calculate and evaluate the quality of existing cooling probe and to propose possible design modifications to improve the cooling effect of the probe tip. Verify and evaluate design modifications by further calculation. The calculation will be carried out using computational fluid dynamics (CFD method). On the contrary, the aim of this work is not to create another text tool for students dealing with CFD topics. The first part describes the meaning and history of the CFD methods, then mentions the work on the principle of thermocouple probes and its application in practice. The second part of the work is devoted to problem solving. It describes the reason for the introduction of model situations when calculating the cooling effect of thermocouple probes and calculation indicates what type of flow occurs inside the thermocouple probe. It further describes the results of calculations for several approximations gradually increasing accuracy of the resulting solution of the problem and assessing the quality of cooling in the probe tip current (basic) structure. The final part deals with design changes for better cooling effect especially in the probe tip, which is verified by further calculation as well.

Flow visualization
Vavrla, Zdenek ; Šperka, Oldřich (referee) ; Rudolf, Pavel (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis deals with fluid flow visualization methods in the air and water. First brief characteristic of the basic concepts of fluid flow is described, such as streamline, laminar and turbulent flow. The described visualization methods are divided into certain types and are used for fluid or gas. These methods provide a qualitative view of the flow and create the overview of the characteristics of gas or liquid flow. Some of these methods are simple and some are more complex. Finally, a simple experiment of liquids flow visualization is described by very powerful laser pointer.

Discharge coefficients for nozzles of a low-NOx gas burner
Zifčáková, Barbora ; Bojanovský, Jiří (referee) ; Juřena, Tomáš (advisor)
Nozzles belong to the main parts of a low-NOx gas burner. Their purpose is to transport fuel into a combustion system. One way of judging a quality of a nozzle is to define its discharge coefficient. It expresses an efficiency of energy conversion – from pressure to kinetic energy. In this thesis the discharge coefficients of several nozzles were established, using Ansys Fluent software for computer simulation. A calculation was tuned to a reference geometry and then applied to other geometries of nozzles, which were both planar and spatial. Numerically obtained data were compared with experimental data. The benefits of this thesis are comparism of two main methods of flow modelling (Scalable Wall Function and Enhanced Wall Treatment) and formulation of a calculation methodology for this type of physical problem. The results provided by this thesis might be used for both another study and experimental research.

Urban, Pavel ; Jícha, Miroslav (referee) ; Rotter, Miloš (referee) ; Fedor,, Ján (referee) ; Musilová, Věra (advisor)
V disertační práci je popsán heliový kryostat s experimentální válcovou konvekční celou pro studium proudění při přirozené konvekci za velmi vysokých Rayleigho čísel Ra (až do řádu 10^15) a Nusseltových čísel Nu (až do řádu 10^4). Pracovní látkou je studené 4He, které umožňuje díky výhodným fyzikálním vlastnostem dosažení velmi vysokých hodnot čísel Ra. Návrh kryostatu je založen na koncepci lázňových NMR kryostatů s nízkým odparem kryokapalin. Ve středu kryostatu je umístěna konvekční cela o průměru 300 mm a výšce 300 mm. Celu tvoří horní a spodní dno a výměnná střední část. Tyto díly jsou spojeny rozebíratelnými přírubami těsněnými indiovým drátem. Výměnná část umožňuje snadnou modifikaci geometrie cely. Hlavní přednost kryostatu spočívá v minimálním vlivu konstrukce cely a použitých materiálů na studovanou konvekci. Cela kryostatu je navržena pro pracovní tlaky do 250 kPa.

Studies on Non-Newtonian Behavior in Slit-flow rheometer at Unsteady flow
Halama, Lukáš ; Vimmr, Jan (referee) ; Roupec, Jakub (advisor)
The thesis deals with the description of the unstable flow of non-Newtonian fluid in a slit-flow rheometer, which negatively affects its behaviour. The initiators of unstable fluid flow are the roughness of the rheometer slit walls, the slip on the rheometer walls, and the influence of the inlet and outlet region geometry of the rheometer slit. The work contains methodical procedures for mathematical consideration of individual unstable fluid flow initiators and design of change of slit geometry of slit-flow rheometer. Part of the work is also a comparison of the most commonly used rheological models, derivation of general relations for the creation of the velocity profile of individual rheological models and their subsequent implementation in the rheological application, which significantly simplifies the process of evaluation of measured data when measured on slit-flow rheometer. This application can be used to determine basic parameters in CFD simulations or as a teaching aid.
