Two New PhD Graduates from HeatLab

In September, Ing. Kryštof Mráz and Ing. Jiří Hvožďa successfully defended their doctoral theses at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Brno University of Technology, under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Jan Boháček, Ph.D. Both researchers conducted their work within the HeatLab, focusing on advanced thermal systems and polymeric materials for energy-efficient applications. Ing. Kryštof Mráz defended his dissertation titled Optimization of Polymeric Hollow Fiber Heat

The Importance of Being Spiral: New Study on Cylindrical Battery Modeling

One of our latest studies, Modeling Heat Transfer in Cylindrical Batteries: Spiral-Based Thermal Conductivity Tensor, explores how the internal spiral-shaped structure of Li-ion batteries affects the temperature field — and whether the commonly used simplifications in thermal models hold up under scrutiny. Many models assume a concentric cylindrical layout of electrodes and separators, leading to orthotropic thermal conductivity with constant radial, tangential, and axial components.But

Lecture “Magnetohydrodynamics in Electric Arc Furnace: A Practical Simulation Approach”

We invite you to the lecture held by MEng Mohamad Al Nasser on 31 October at 10:00 AM in D3. This talk focuses on numerical modeling as a powerful tool for examining the behavior of the electric arc and its interactions with the surrounding environment, particularly under varying operating conditions such as the use of hydrogen as a shielding gas. The presentation will explore several
