Análise do aproveitamento energético em redes de distribuição de água com a utilização de bombas como turbina (BFT)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-03-31) SILVA, Victor Renan Barbosa da; ISHIHARA, Júnior Hiroyuki; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3498874642887006; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0081-7913
Climate change has intensified research related to the production of renewable energies around the world. In this sense, the present study intends to contribute to the analysis of the use of Pumps Functioning as Turbine (PAT) to replace Pressure Reducing Valves (PRV), aiming both at the control of pressure in water distribution networks, as well as , consequently, its use for energy generation. The installed PAT must be able to operate under different flow rates due to fluctuations in the water consumption rate, which makes it difficult to select the appropriate pump, therefore, the selection process of PATs to replace PRVs was optimized by combining two selection methods and PAT prediction, Williams (1995) the first method was used to select the appropriate PAT according to height and flow data available in the network, then the method of Rossi et al. (2019) was used to evaluate the characteristic curves of the pump as a turbine, with particular attention to out-of-design operating conditions. Two simulations were performed for the optimization process, considering the PAT with constant speed, applied to a real network that was divided into 3 district measurement areas (DMA). In the first simulation a PAT was added to the network to replace a PRV located at (DMA 3), in the second simulation two PATs were added to the network (DMA 3) to replace the PRVs. The results show, in simulation 2, that the pressure control was better, in addition to the recovery of electrical energy, which was 190.96 kWh/day or 69.70 MWh/year, corresponding to a reduction of 41.74 tons of CO2 not emitted. Thus, the energy recovery was 267% higher compared to simulation 1. In addition, the pressure control also presented satisfactory results, staying within the established standards. Therefore, the combination of Williams' (1995) and Rossi et al. (2019), simplified the work of BFT selection and prediction with significant results and it was possible to conclude that BFTs working at peak consumption hours can adjust the required standard pressure and, in the rest, PRVs can regulate the pressure. In this case, in addition to controlling the pressure continuously, significant renewable energy can be recovered from the WDN

Utilização de tecidos de fibras de bananeira como agente de reforço em compósitos de matriz de resina poliéster termorrígida
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-08-11) BAÍA, Michele da Costa; EL BANNA, Wassim Raja; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2005046563115507; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5085-4352
In recent decades, several studies have been observed, both nationally and internationally, which seek alternative materials to those conventionally used by industry, with emphasis on biomass residues from agricultural activities, such as vegetable fibers, in the quest to minimize the problems caused to the environment and replace products harmful to human beings. In addition to offering advantages such as atoxicity, biodegradability, low density and reduced cost, such as fibers derived from the pseudostem of the banana tree. With regard to banana trees, Brazil is one of the largest producers of its fruit at an international level, and as a result this is one of the activities that most generate waste in the country. Therefore, this research has as main objective to make composite materials with the fibers of the pseudostem of the banana tree in the form of fabrics and thermoset polyester resin, destined to the production of materials for engineering. Initially, the process of extracting and cleaning the fibers was carried out, followed by the weaving of flat-type fabrics on the nail loom, to be used as a reinforcing agent. Next, polymeric composites were molded using a manual process (hand lay up) and application of pressure at room temperature. Thus, composites were obtained: full matrix and those reinforced with glass fibers and banana tree fibers. Mechanical tests were carried out – flexion and traction –, flammability and microscopy. The polymeric composites were manufactured in the following compositions: V1 – Full matrix; V2 – with reinforcing agent with two layers of fiberglass mats; V3 – with reinforcing agent with one layer of banana fiber fabric and V4 – with reinforcing agent with two layers of banana fiber fabric. The materials of composition V3 and V4 presented tensile strength values of 29.25 MPa 51.27 MPa and bending strength of 142.45 MPa and 91.99 MPa, respectively. As for resistance to flammability, all composite materials manufactured showed values below those stipulated by the regulations and within the Brazilian standard. The analysis of the failure mechanisms present on their surfaces was performed using MEV, which can show the arrangement between matrix and reinforcing agent, as well as the presence of cracks in the matrix, fracture and rupture of fibers in the reinforcing agent, voids and pullout.
