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

The hollow fiber heat exchanger on the runway

Tuesday 22. 6. 2021 evening was exciting time for Heatlab. After 9 p.m. the Brno Airport runway was closed and the hollow fiber team from Heatlab in cooperation with Dr. Vančura (Institute of Automotive Engineering) continue a research of polymeric hollow fiber automotive radiator there. The polymeric hollow fiber heat exchanger consists of 12,240 fibers with a length of 480 mm. The polymeric hollow fibers

Heatlab’s heat exchanger in the car

The end of year 2020 was a milestone for Heatlab polymeric hollow fiber team. The very first automotive radiator from polymeric hollow fiber was tested in the car. Heatlab researchers made an automotive radiator from 12 000 polyamid tubes. This radiator can withstand in long term temperatures up to 130°C. The radiator was installed into the car and then followed a test ride in the

For students [CZ] – Diplomové práce pro rok 2020/2021

Citlivostní analýza faktorů ovlivňujících sekundární chlazení kontinuálního lití Školitel: Petr Kotrbáček Ochlazování horkých povrchů vodními nebo vodovzdušnými tryskami je proces, který je v technické praxi velice často používán (například při plynulém odlévání ocelí). Do matematických modelů sledovaných procesů je třeba používat realistické okrajové podmínky, jejichž získání je velmi často obtížné a závislé na mnoha parametrech. Objasnění a zobecnění vlivu nejdůležitějších parametrů ostřiku na intenzitu přenosu
