1. Termična piroliza goriva iz odpadkov (rdf) z različno vsebnostjo plastikeJona Šalabalija, 2025, magistrsko delo Opis: Eden izmed produktov obdelave odpadkov je gorivo iz odpadkov (RDF) z visoko kurilno vrednostjo. Kljub visokemu energetskemu potencialu ni pogosto izkoriščen, najpogosteje se ga uporablja za sosežiganje v cementarnah ali toplarnah, lahko se ga predela tudi s pirolizo.
V magistrski nalogi je opisana raziskava možne uporabnosti RDF z primešanimi različnimi deleži plastike (HDPE). Rezultati raziskave kažejo, da imajo tako pridobljena pirolizna olja, visok energetski potencial in jih je mogoče uporabiti v več različnih aplikacijah, ne le v procesu sežiganja. S tem bi lahko zmanjšali odvisnost od tujih sežigalnic in omogočili učinkovitejšo, okolju prijaznejšo rabo odpadkov.

2. Harnessing coaching skills for children's mental health and well-beingPetra Cajnko, Kaja Cajnko, Timi Gomboc, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The power of the environment in shaping children’s productivity is truly remarkable. Many children nowadays are absorbed in trivial activities and artificial entertainment, often overlooking the real-life world surrounding them. As Tolstoy famously wrote, "Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." Coaching, as a skill, has gained significant traction globally. Through mastering this skill, individuals can courageously embark on their personal transformation and navigate the "inner game" within their minds. This research draws from Slovenian and foreign literature alongside empirical research utilizing statistical methods. It adopts a retrospective approach, examining past influences through quantitative data evaluation, including surveys with children and teachers. The current topic aims to illuminate the positive significance and impact of coaching skills on children. Moreover, it intends to introduce a new skill set to educational institutions, thereby integrating coaching skills into the teaching process.

3. Merjenje porazdelitve velikosti kapljic na šobi s pomočjo laserskega sistema : magistrsko deloSandi Sukič, 2025, magistrsko delo Opis: V magistrskem delu smo preučevali sistem VisiSize za merjenje porazdelitve velikosti in hitrosti delcev. Postavili smo merilno progo in izvedli eksperimentalne meritve na razpršilni šobi. Uporabili smo različne masne pretoke ter tlake atomizacijskega zraka in zraka za oblikovanje vzorca, ter spremljali njihov vpliv na lastnosti delcev. Ugotovili smo, da tlaka zraka pomembno vplivata na velikost in hitrost delcev, medtem ko ima masni pretok manjši vpliv. Izvedli smo tudi meritve na različnih razdaljah od šobe. Izkazalo se je, da z ustreznimi nastavitvami lahko zagotovimo zanesljive in ponovljive rezultate, ki pomembno prispevajo k razvoju in optimizaciji razpršilnih naprav.

4. A coupled multilevel vial lyophilization model for the pressure coupling in a freeze dryerBlaž Kamenik, Jure Ravnik, Timi Gomboc, Matej Zadravec, Matjaž Hriberšek, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: With computational modeling of lyophilization in vials, the pressure coupling between the sublimation front and the drying chamber has traditionally been calculated using a simplified mass transfer resistance model in the form of a model, which takes into account the headspace and the stopper in a simplified way. In developing a 3D CFD-based digital twin of lyophilization in vials, a need arises for a mass flow rate-dependent vial headspace/stopper model, as it enables a more accurate calculation of the pressure conditions above the shelf as well as pressure conditions directly at the sublimation front, the latter directly affecting the sublimation mass transfer rate as well as the temperature inside the product, which is crucial for determining the risk of product collapse. The local pressure variations at a shelf level affect the heat transfer conditions due to heat conduction in the low pressure environment of the drying chamber. In the present work the development of a coupled multilevel vial lyophilization model for the freeze-drying of vials is reported, with the time-dependent 1D heat and mass transfer model at the vial level coupled with the time-dependent 3D low-pressure CFD model of the flow of the water vapor–air mixture in the drying chamber heated by the shelves. A direct pressure coupling between the sublimation front and the drying chamber space in form of vial type specific headspace/stopper resistance model is implemented. The developed multilevel lyophilization model is used to study the pressure build-up above the shelf and the headspace of the vial and its influence on the product temperature at the bottom of the vial using simulations carried out for different chamber pressures (6 Pa and 22 Pa), shelf temperatures (−20 oC and +10 oC) and vial types (10R and 15R). By implementing previously developed vial headspace/stopper pressure resistance models, the computational results show that the pressure build-up above the shelf and vial headspace significantly affect the product temperature at the bottom of the vial, especially at low chamber pressures ( Pa) and small gap sizes between the rubber stopper and the shelf above it. The increased pressure outside the vial leads also to higher heat transfer by conduction, which is particularly pronounced at the central shelf positions and within smaller shelf gaps. These results underline the importance of using a coupled multilevel model when analyzing the relationship between the local pressure variations above the shelf and their direct influence on product drying conditions, further improving the predictive capabilities of CFD based multilevel lyophilization models, especially with respect to detecting the product collapse temperature.

5. Energy intake models for intermittent operation of dead-end microfiltration filling lineJure Ravnik, Gorazd Bombek, Aleš Hribernik, Timi Gomboc, Matej Zadravec, Aleks Kapun, Grega Hrovat, Jure Gradišek, Matjaž Hriberšek, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: In filling lines equipped with membrane separation devices in the form of filters energy,
consumption is only one of the important working parameters, the other being sustainable filter
performance in terms of separation efficiency. As the filling line is typically equipped with a valve,
intermittent operation of the filter is an important form of its use. Whereas the overall energy
consumption of the filtration process is governed by the continuous operation mode, the intermittent
mode, characterised by opening/closing of the valve, contributes most to problems of filter failure,
i.e., the breakthrough of filtered particles through the membrane. A model for determination of the
energy intake of a microfiltration membrane during the opening and closing of a valve is presented
in this work. The model is based on computational analysis of the pressure wave signals recorded
during the opening/closing of the valve using Fourier transform, and expressed in a nondimensional
filter area specific energy intake form. The model is applied to a case of constant pressure dead-end
microfiltration with three filter types: a single membrane filter, a stacked filter and a pleated filter
with filtration surface areas ranging from 17.7 cm2
to 2000 cm2. Both clean filters, as well as partially clogged filter cases are taken into account. Second order polynomial models of the energy intake are developed and evaluated based on extensive analysis of the experimental data. The analysis of energy intake results show that the largest energy intake was observed for the clean filter case. When membrane fouling occurs at the constant flow rate values it leads to larger energy intake, however,
due to a decreasing specific flow rate during fouling these values do not exceed the clean filter case. Ključne besede: membrane filtration, water hammer effect, membrane energy intake, filter clogging Objavljeno v DKUM: 28.03.2025; Ogledov: 0; Prenosov: 2

6. Solidification of gelatine hydrogels by using a cryoplatform and its validation through CFD approachesYasir Beeran Potta Thara, Miha Jordan, Timi Gomboc, Blaž Kamenik, Boštjan Vihar, Vanja Kokol, Matej Zadravec, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: In this work, we developed a numerical approach based on an experimental platform
to determine the working conditions on a cryoplatform and to predict and evaluate the cryogenic
printing of hydrogels. Although hydrogels have good biocompatibility, their material properties
make it difficult to print them with high precision and shape fidelity. To overcome these problems, a
cryogenic cooling platform was introduced to accelerate the physical stabilisation of each deposited
layer during the printing process. By precisely controlling solidification (crystallisation), each printed
material can withstand its own weight to maintain shape fidelity, and the porosity of the scaffolds
can also be controlled more selectively. The thermophysical properties of gelatine hydrogels were
investigated to gain a better understanding of the phase change upon freezing. The corresponding
material properties and experimental observations of gelatine solidification served as the basis for
developing a computational fluid model (CFD) to mimic the solidification of gelatine hydrogels
using a cryoplatform at different process conditions and extruder speeds. The goal was to develop a
tool simple enough to predict acceptable process conditions for printing gelatine hydrogels using
a cryoplatform. Ključne besede: gelatine, hydrogel, cryoprinting, CFD simulation, solidification modelling Objavljeno v DKUM: 20.03.2025; Ogledov: 0; Prenosov: 12

7. Termična piroliza visokokaloričnega goriva iz odpadkov (RDF)Maja Bagari, 2024, magistrsko delo Opis: V skladu s cilji Direktive o odpadkih (2008/98/ES) si države članice EU prizadevajo zmanjšati količine odloženih odpadkov, zato jih centri za ravnanje z odpadki predelujejo v uporabno gorivo iz odpadkov, imenovano RDF. Ta ima izjemen energetski potencial, ki ostaja premalo izkoriščen.
V okviru magistrske naloge se je izvedla raziskava potencialne uporabnosti treh različnih RDF frakcij kot surovin v postopku pirolize. Rezultati analiz goriv so potrdili visoke kurilne vrednosti in raznolik materialni spekter.
Po izvedbi pirolize so bila okarakterizirana tudi pirolizna olja. Rezultati so nakazali na podobnost s konvencionalnim dizelskim gorivom in na možnost potencialnega energetskega izkoriščanja. Kljub temu trenutna struktura olj še ne omogoča njihove neposredne uporabe kot tekočega goriva, kar nakazuje nujnost nadaljnjih prilagoditev procesa pirolize in ustreznih predhodnih obdelav vhodnih surovin.

8. A coupled point particle two-phase heat and mass transfer model for dispersed flows based on Boundary Element MethodsTimi Gomboc, Matej Zadravec, Jure Ravnik, Matjaž Hriberšek, 2024, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci Opis: In dispersed multiphase flow processes we encounter coupled heat, mass and momentum transfer between the disoersed and the continuous phase. In the context of the subdomain Boundary Domain Integral Method (BDIM) solution of the Navier-Stokes equations a two-way coupling model is presented based on the use of the elliptic fundamental solution and the Dirac delta function properties which leads to accurate evaluation of the heat and mass point particle source impacts on the continuous (air) phase. In addition, the two-phase flow case under consideration is extended to the case of porous spherical particle drying with internal moving drying front, which is solved by the Boundary Element Method (BEM).
