Doctoral state exams and defences of the dissertation thesis

In Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Laboratory, two state exams and two PhD thesis defences were taken on 1st February. Tereza Kroulíková and Ondřej Resl successfully defended their theses. Jiří Hvožďa and Kryštof Mráz passed the doctoral state exam. We wish all of them great success in the future. And what is the subject of their research? Take a look. Tereza Kroulíková studied the effect

Lecture: Magnetohydrodynamics in metallurgical processes using electric currents

Magnetohydrodynamics in metallurgical processes using electric currents held by Assoc. Prof. Abdellah Kharicha 27 October at 10:00 AM in D3, room number 204 In metallurgy, electric currents are applied for heating, melting, and for promoting electrochemical mass transfer. The currents are passed through low conductivity media such as a salt, slags, or plasmas to generate high Joule heating intensity. Typical processes are electric arc furnaces,

Cooling via polymeric hollow fibres brought BUT a special award from the MSV committee

Millimetre-wide polymer hollow fibres used as cooling channels in a heat exchanger have earned Brno University of Technology a special award from the Gold Medal Committee. The award was presented to researchers from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at a gala on 4 October. Small polymer hollow fibres can serve as cooling channels for the heat exchanger. The ones shown at the International Engineering Fair

Michal Pohanka won the On-Your-Own-Power Challenge.

Michal Pohanka from the Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Laboratory was the absolute winner of the Employee Challenge On-Your-Own-Power (“Na vlastní pohon”). He cycled an incredible 1,028.6 kilometres to and from work. A total of 48 colleagues from 13 FME institutes and departments took part in the challenge during May. The event aimed to promote the idea of eco-friendly transport by bike, on foot or

Battery Thermal Management Systems? We are in!

According to International Energy Agency, the global electric car stock hit the 10 million mark, a 43% increase over 2019, representing a 1% stock share, after a decade of rapid growth. One of the biggest challenges of e-automobility is battery thermal management. Temperature level, profile, and uniformity impact the electrochemical reactions substantially. Therefore, battery system performance, safety, and lifespan. Reliability and longevity are critical factors

Lipka awarded Alan Strunga for his master’s thesis

Alan Strunga, a PhD student in the Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Laboratory, was awarded by Lipka, one of the oldest and largest educational organizations for environmental training in Czechia. He placed 3rd in the competition for the best master's thesis. Strunga studied how much the Brno population comes into contact with pesticide residues. The methods developed in his work are now routinely used with
