The thesis highlights the literary-critical work of Jan Lopatka in the context of his personal library. It is a literary-historical and critical description of his work by characterizing and defining thematic blocks, which Lopatka systematically pursued in his personal library. It centers on a comparison of the significance of his work and pinpoints defined blocks in Lopatka's library fund and their significance in his literary criticism. Based on a complete inventory of his personal library (prepared by the author of this thesis) and its knowledge, research characterizes his work mainly from this perspective. Attention will also be paid to manuscripts, typescripts and notes in his books.

This master‘s thesis deals with small water power plant Beneš. The first part of the thesis tries to find causes of low efficiency of this power plant. The second part contains suggestions of construction changes for increasing of efficiency – design of new runner blades and basic parameters of new distributor.

This master thesis deals with the design of the turbine housing of turbocharger VNT for supplying separated pressure pulses from the exhaust manifold. Subsequently, the work includes strength analysis of the designed turbine housing. The aim of the thesis is to create components for the supply of separate pressure pulses as close as possible to the turbine. Furthermore, the modification of the existing turbine housing and the assessment of the functionality of the VNT mechanism after this modification and strength analysis. The final aim of this thesis is the creation of 2D and 3D technical documentation of newly designed and modified parts.

The aim of this thesis is to provide research into turbocharger regulation, and analyze the force load of vanes in the VNT mechanism of Garrett turbocharger by CFD simulation. In the thesis there is one model with two different mesh densities. It describes the relevance of supercharging vehicle engines and the kinds of supercharging aggregates in the introduction. Then, the thesis is divided into two chapters. The first chapter provides research, describing primary principle of supercharging, turbocharger construction and kinds of air regulation. The practical part of the thesis solves the force load of VNT mechanisms. It was necessary to optimalize the 3D Garrett turbocharger model, create two meshes with different element densities, specify boundary conditions and analyse the results of both cases. A general description of solved problems, comparison of results of force load vanes and propose simplifying and verifying the CFD calculation are included in the conclusion.

This diploma thesis deals with turbochargers with a focus on the ways of their regulation. The main subject is to design CFD simulation for a turbocharger with VNT mechanism at specific positions. Simulation is based on the turbocharger Garrett by Honeywell, for which measurement was realized. Finally torques acting on the vanes are evaluated from the simulation. The means of results improvement are considered at the end of the thesis.

Diploma thesis deals with design and exploration of installation in the draft tube of the swirl turbine. Use of the draft tube is defined in the first part, with illustration of energetical gain and efficiency of draft tube. Further the suitable shape of draft tube is studied by CFD computing. Design, research and evaluation of installation in the draft tube are solved in the main part.

This diploma thesis analyzes the effects of various parameters of vane profile and position of VNT mechanism on the size of aerodynamic force which acts on the vanes and on the position of neutral axis of the vane. A CDF simulation was created to do this analysis, and the results of the simulation were evaluated. Thesis also deals with turbochargers in general and with other methods of their regulation.

This master´s thesis will discuss the mechanical regulation of suction of ventilation turbines. There were designed and described three methods of mechanical regulation in this work. It is a regulation by half-valve, quarter-valve and so-called whirling turbine. Then the calculation of the auxiliary fan was included. The resulting mechanical regulation of this work permit, with high winds, restricting the flow of exhaust air without using electricity. Thanks to this there are saving overall cost of running ventilation turbines and reducing heat loss of industrial and commercial buildings.
