Legal standing of neighbours in the procedures under the Building Act The diploma thesis deals with the legal position of neighbours in procedures under the Act No. 183/2006 Coll., on Spatial Planning and Construction Regulation (Construction Act). Although the neighbour is one of the most affected parties in the construction process, the term 'neighbour' itself is not defined in the legal order. The aim of this work is to clarify who is considered to be a neighbour for the purposes of the Construction Act and what legal status does this person have in individual procedures under the Construction Act, including the analysis of possible procedural means to protect his/her rights and legitimate interests. The thesis also points out the legal aspects of the construction process as a comprehensive procedure characterized by a chain of separate and usually successive procedures. In these procedures, the Construction Authority must not only take into account the various public and private interests in the territory, but should also be able to assess the construction project in question not only in terms of construction law but also in terms of civil law. Attention is therefore also paid to the civil dimension of the issue, especially in connection with the institute of objections of a civil nature. The...

Novotná, P. Influence of ISO 9001 certification on the company performance. Thesis. Brno: Mendel University in Brno, 2018. Thesis deals with the influence evaluation of the quality system implementation on increasing company efficiency. It focuses on the analysis of its current state, management of the quality system and its administration. Aim of the thesis is to demonstrate the impact of ISO 9001 quality certification on the company financial and non-financial performance and identification of areas and indicators in which certification impacts are most expressed. For the solution was used an analysis of internal environment according to the 7S method, company self-assessment according to ISO 9004 and the methodology based on the principles of the EFQM model. Main finding is the underestimated impact of quality system implementation on company performance due to non-compliance with all requirements and principles of interconnected standard. Companies meet requirements of the standard primarily for purpose of meeting conditions for recertification audits and for entering into a business agreement with customers.

Combustion designers have considered back-side impingement cooling as the solution for modern DLE combustors. The idea is to provide more cooling to the deserved local hot spots and reserve unnecessary coolant air from local cold spots. Therefore, if accurate heat load distribution on the liners can be obtained, then an intelligent cooling system can be designed to focus more on the localized hot spots. The goal of this study is to determine the heat transfer and pressure distribution inside a typical can-annular gas turbine combustor. This is one of the first efforts in the public domain to investigate the convective heat load to combustor liner due to swirling flow generated by swirler nozzles. An experimental combustor test model was designed and fitted with a swirler nozzle provided by Solar Turbines Inc. Heat transfer and pressure distribution measurements were carried out along the combustor wall to determine the thermo-fluid dynamic effects inside a combustor. The temperature and heat transfer profile along the length of the combustor liner were determined and a heat transfer peak region was established. Constant-heat-flux boundary condition was established using two identical surface heaters, and the Infrared Thermal Imaging system was used to capture the real-time steady-state temperature distribution at the combustor liner wall. Analysis on the flow characteristics was also performed to compare the pressure distributions with the heat transfer results. The experiment was conducted at two different Reynolds numbers (Re 50,000 and Re 80,000), to investigate the effect of Reynolds Number on the heat transfer peak locations and pressure distributions. The results reveal that the heat transfer peak regions at both the Reynolds numbers occur at approximately the same location. The results from this study on a broader scale will help in understanding and predicting swirling flow effects on the local convective heat load to the combustor liner, thereby enabling the combustion engineer to design more effective cooling systems to improve combustor durability and performance. / Master of Science

A comparison study between axial and radial swirler performance in a gas turbine can combustor was conducted by investigating the correlation between combustor flow field geometry and convective heat transfer at cold flow conditions for Reynolds numbers of 50,000 and 80,000. Flow velocities were measured using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) along the center axial plane and radial cross sections of the flow. It was observed that both swirlers produced a strong rotating flow with a reverse flow core. The axial swirler induced larger recirculation zones at both the backside wall and the central area as the flow exits the swirler, and created a much more uniform rotational velocity distribution. The radial swirler however, produced greater rotational velocity as well as a thicker and higher velocity reverse flow core. Wall heat transfer and temperature measurements were also taken. Peak heat transfer regions directly correspond to the location of the flow as it exits each swirler and impinges on the combustor liner wall. Convective heat transfer was also measured along the liner wall of a gas turbine annular combustor fitted with radial swirlers for Reynolds numbers 210000, 420000, and 840000. The impingement location of the flow exiting from the radial swirler resulted in peak heat transfer regions along the concave wall of the annular combustor. The convex side showed peak heat transfer regions above and below the impingement area. This behavior is due to the recirculation zones caused by the interaction between the swirlers inside the annulus. / Master of Science
