In theoretical part is also focused on cogeneration and description of computational models of steam turbines. The practical part is focused on a specific calculation of the three steam turbines and comparison of computational models. On the base of the results is designed implementation of computational models to the simulation software W2E.

The thesis contains calculations of a boiler burning natural gas. For designated values of steam pressure, temperature and steam power is made a proportion design and heat calculations.

To design a grate boiler with a natural circulation for burning of a pine bark with an output 18t/h is a primary objective of this dissertation. Individual parts of a boiler and it´s heat transfering surfaces were calculated after the working out of stoichiometric calculations from given element analysis of fuel. All computations have to fulfill several parameters: boliler output, temperature and pressure of an overheated steam.

This thesis deals with the possibilities of using waste heat for power generation with a focusing on biogas plants (BGS). The produced biogas is mainly used for combustion in cogeneration units with internal combustion piston engines. The first part this paper describes the biogas plants. The division of BGS and the biogas processing is mentioned there. Another part is focused on the combined production of electricity and heat. The principles and description various types of cogeneration technologies are presented here. The following are specific options for waste heat utilization for biogas plants. The last section contains proposals to increase electricity production by the BGS with the steam engine and economic evaluation of these proposals is made.

Main aim of presented master thesis is focused on construction of high speed steam turbine. Steam turbine is designed based on parameters of waste incineration plant in Brno. First chapters shortly summarized historical development, transformation process and work principal of steam turbine. Consequently on first captures is in depth described impulse and reaction blading including expansion in i-s diagram and basic equations for efficiency calculations. In major part of master thesis is firstly discussed conceptual possibilities of turbine application for given parameters. Based on chosen concept is compiled algorithm for thermodynamic calculation for each turbine module. Simplify calculation of gearbox is included as well. Based on calculations are compiled construction drawings of all parts of steam turbine.

The diploma thesis concentrates on a project of backpreassure steam turbine. These topics are analyzed in more detail: design of balance schema, thermodynamic calculation, loss coefficient and its effect on the loss. Technical solutions are designed according to given details of a steam and chosen conditions of use.

This thesis deals with brush steam turbine operation. This turbine is installed in small biomass incineration plant, which is situated in premises of company Dřevopar s.r.o. in Loštice. First part is focused on incineration plant technology introduction. Following parts are focused on brush steam turbine principle, design solutions and evaluation of the operation. Comparative steam turbines are chosen according to preliminary calculation. The end of thesis contains brush turbine and blade turbine comparison.

The work deals with design of steam grate boiler with a output of 25 t/h, parameters of steam output p = 5.5 MPa, t = 475 °C and a temperature of feed water 105 °C. It is a boiler with natural water circulation by evaporation surfaces. Wood biomass is boiler fuel. The proposal consists of stoichiometric calculations, determination of boiler efficiency, thermal calculations and determinion geometric parameters of the boiler and its heat transfer surfaces. The boiler drawing is a part of the work.

This diploma thesis deals with an optimization of Rankine-Clausius steam cycle. The theoretical information about the Optimization and the Rankine-Clausius cycle are described at the beginning of the thesis. These theoretical findings are later used to create simulation models in MATLAB. Individual simulation models are variants of the ideal R-C cycle. Simulation models include the basic cycle model, the supercritical cycle and the cycle with reheat. For these models the optimal configurations are found and their t-s diagrams are plotted.
