The aim of this diploma thesis is to design, manufacture and measure the characteristics of a mobile water pico turbine. More precisely, it is an experimental construction of a mill wheel. The first part of this document is describing the design and manufacture of the turbine. This part focuses mainly on the construction of water wheels with different sizes of buckets and on the nozzle supplying water to the turbine. There is also a CFD simulation of pressure loss of nozzle. The second part of the thesis is focused on the processing of data that were measured in the laboratory, including the determination of uncertainties. The measurements were performed for different turbine settings such as flow, speed, different wheel shapes and different positions of the nozzle distributing water to the wheel. For individual turbine settings are created characteristics, from which maximum powers and maximum efficiencies parameters are determined.

The master’s thesis deals with laser cutting technology and application in the industry. The first part of the thesis describes principle of laser beam creation, division and application of lasers in industry. The Experimental part is focused on cutting the workpiece using a laser and water jet in company named SMR Plus s.r.o., sample preparation and examining the structure of workpiece. Surface structures are compared with workpieces from water jet at the end of thesis.

The aim of this diploma thesis is to describe the gasification of biomass with a mixture of oxygen and water vapor. The theoretical part is focused on the gasification process, gasification reactors and the quality of the resulting gas. In the experimental part we look for the ideal ratio of oxygen to water vapor, which are used as gasification media. Subsequent measurements are carried out on the fluidized bed reactor, the results of which are further processed and evaluated.

This diploma thesis is focused on determination of bioavailable cadmium in natural waters. Thesis is devided to two parts-laboratory study in model solution and experiments in real surface water system. During the laboratory experiments the accumulation and release constants of cadmium by aquatic moss Fontinalis antipyretica were determined. In Morava river experiment this aquatic moss was used to determine bioavailable fraction of cadmium and the moss bag technique were compared with another methods for phytotoxic metals determination.

The subject of this diploma thesis is the proposal of savings of water sources and energy in the reptile pavilion at ZOO Brno. The theoretical part describes the current state of water management at the Zoo Brno. The practical part deals with potential water sources, analyzing them according to current legislation and assessing the suitability of resources. Part is devoted to measures to conserve energy.

This master thesis concerns on the utilization of new water structure for production of electric energy. The next part follows with description of the term small water power plant, the classification of small water power plants and description of their main components. The next steps decrypts the process of finding optimal location for development of small water power plant in the Eastern Bohemian region, including hydrological data, cadastral maps and the list of land owners in the potential location of my designed water power plant. Further on there is mentioned calculation and proposition their mechanical parts ( turbine and generator ) and appreciation investment effectiveness designed locations.

Refractory mastics are used for making compact brickworks or for sealing up the joints. This thesis deals with lenghthening of best before date of Regnaterm mastic, modification of recipe and suggestion of suitable method for evaluating reologic characteristics.

Karst rivers are special type of rivers because of their hydrography conditions. They usually flow from non-karst area and as soon as they reach in to the karst area they disappear underground. There, they flow through cavities until they reach the surface again. The aim of this thesis is to assess the impact of water outflow from wastewater treatment plant on karst rivers. The study was done in the central area of CHKO Moravský kras where the impact of two WWTP on a cave system Rudické propadání – Býčí skála is evaluated. As a part of this study a half-year monitoring was carried out, which consisted of water sampling once every two weeks. In total, 13 water samples were taken from 8 sampling points. Also 4 additional one-time samples were taken from the cave system. Moreover, flow rate, temperature, conductivity, oxygen concentration and pH were measured at the sampling point. Afterwards, the content of undissolved solids, CODCr, BOD, N-NH4+, N-NO2-, N-NO3-, P-PO43- and total phosphorus were determined in the samples. The change of parameters in time and during the flow in the river was observed from the measured values. The balance of pollutants in particular parts of the river was calculated. The outflow values from waste water treatment plants were compared to the emission limits for surface waters and the parameters of rivers were compared to the environmental quality standards. According to the results, it can be observed that the water quality improves after passing through the cavities. It was proven that the outflows from the observed waste water treatment plants are negatively influencing the water streams. The most serious problem is the wash up of sludge from WWTP Rudice and its consequent sedimentation in the river and/or outflow to the Rudické propadání.

This thesis deals with computing and experimental problems of direct water cooling of stator winding that is assigned in synchronous motors. A model with similar material characteristic to a real motor has been made for experiments. The computing results showed us the appropriate place for the cooling system. This place has been chosen due to maximum efficiency and cost of the cooling system. The experiments on the model showed us, if the computing results are credible.

The aim of this work was to develop a proposal regarding hydro-energy potential of small flows of water through the city „Hovězí near Vsetín“. The available water energy was used for running a Swirl Turbine featuring a siphon arrangement. This new concept makes use of a modified Kaplan Turbine, operating at small water heads. It operates also at higher revolutions and has higher discharge.
