Les transferts de chaleur par convection forcée turbulente dans une conduite plane partiellement remplie par un milieu poreux sont étudiés numériquement. L’étude concerne l’analyse de l’encrassement dans un canal plan représentatif d’un échangeur de chaleur à plaques. Un fluide, ayant un fort pouvoir encrassant, est considéré en régime turbulent. L’objectif de cette étude est de proposer une technique qui repose sur l’utilisation de matériaux fibreux comme capteur de particules pouvant réduire les méfaits de l’encrassement. Cela consiste à essayer de réduire la résistance d’encrassement en agissant sur les propriétés thermiques du dépôt. L’étude de la cinétique de l’encrassement permet de déterminer la loi de variation de l’épaisseur du dépôt au cours du temps. Cette équation est couplée aux équations de conservation. Un modèle de conductivité thermique effective (fluide, dépôt, fibres poreuses) a été choisi et le phénomène de colmatage de la matrice poreuse est considéré. L’apport du milieu poreux sur les performances de l’échangeur est analysé / A numerical study is carried out to investigate the forced convection heat transfer induced by a turbulent flow in a parallel plate channel partly filled with a porous or fibrous material. The study involves the analysis of fouling in a plate heat exchanger, represented by a parallel plate channel with a high fouling potential liquid flow in turbulent regime. The objective is to come out with a technical solution that relies on the use of fibrous materials capability to capture deposited particles, and therefore to reduce the fouling impacts within heat exchangers. This solution focuses on reducing the fouling resistance on wall surfaces by modifying the thermal properties of the deposit. The deposit thickness evolution is obtained through a kinetics model of fouling, which is coupled to the conservation equations. An effective thermal conduction model (liquid, deposit, porous material) is selected in order to account for fouling within the porous matrix. The benefits of porous material on heat exchanger performance are analyzed

The diploma thesis is focused on the evaluation of mechanical fracture parameters of concrete after exposure to high temperatures. In the introductory theoretical part general principles of fracture mechanics with the concentration on a linear elastic fracture mechanics and non-linear fracture models for the concrete are summarized. The meaning of the three-point bending fracture test used for determination of fracture parameters is also explained. Further the influence of high temperatures on the partial components of concrete and general modeling of temperature loading is described. The practical part is concerned with the evaluation of fire experiments on the concrete panels including numerical simulations using GiD and ATENA software. The evaluation of data obtained from the three-point bending test carried out on specimens with initial stress concentrator taken from concrete panels is a main part of the diploma thesis. The values of modulus of elasticity, effective fracture toughness, work of fracture and fracture energy are determined from the measured F–d and F–CMOD diagrams after their proper corrections in the GTDiPS application. The evaluation of the selected mechanical fracture parameters was performed by StiCrack software using effective crack model and work of fracture method and DKFM_BUT software using the double-K fracture model. Finally, the attention is paid to the analysis of the obtained data.

The purpose of dissertation is the analysis of the calculation of fracture parameters using Double-K fracture model for quasi-brittle specimens with the stress concentrator loaded by three-point bending or wedge splitting. To calculation of these parameters was used the developed DKFM_BUT software in Microsoft Excel application with using of Visual Basic programming language. Furthermore, the adequate shape functions and compliance functions were introduced for the selected wedge splitting test configurations. Main part of this dissertation is the series of comprehensively implemented and evaluated fracture experiments on specimens from advanced building materials, while the attention was paid to the analysis of experimental data. Finally, the selected results obtained using mentioned software support were presented and discussed.
