The availability of energy resources price increasing promotes directly impacts the social-economic development. The rise for energy in Brazil, the efficient use of energy as strategic activity for the industrial sector. The energy evaluations employed in this sector aims to optimize the efficiency of its thermal systems. This energy performance assessments is based on the First Law of Thermodynamics and are able to quantify only the loss of energy, different from exergetic evaluation that allowing qualify this energy lost. The exergetic analysis is difficult and time consuming, requiring the development of a protocol to be performed quickly. In this case, the protocol must attend particularitities of the Amazon biomass, as well as it´s environment. This paper proposes and applies a methodology of energy and exergetic analysis as well as exergo-economic analysis a steam power plant installed at Belém, Pa funning on Rankine cycle. After these evaluations, the energy rate and energy losses are gotten, and also exergy rate and it’s rate destruction, the cost rate for each product and the monetary cost of the energy produced by the plant in R$/kWh. Such results, make possible to identify the largest energy losses of the power plant, quantify the cost of destruction of exergy in key equipment and the rate of cost of main products of the plant that are thermal energy and electricity. This allows quantify the energetic, economic and exergetic performance in each of the plant equipment and indicating the processes that deserve a development work to improve their economic efficiency. Moreover, the cost of the energy capacity in R$/kWh produced by power plant steam was compared with the value charged for the local energy utility. This comparison showed that power plant has energy cost less than the utility price.

Propriedades Térmicas do (Bio)Butanol e a Fotocatálise do Grafeno com Trifenilamina Dopado com Metais para Geração de H2

In this study, the optical properties and electronic structures of the transition metal-doped G-TPA using water as solvent were theoretically investigated in order to evaluate the efficiency in the production of photocatalytic hydrogen. in the Gaussian 09W software, using the B3LYP functional for all structures, and the base 6-31g (d) for the H, C and N atoms, and the LANL2DZ base, applying the effective potentials method for the transition metals (Ni, Pt, Pd, Fe, Os). Through the DOS of each structure an increase of accessible states in the valence layer was observed, as well as the decrease of the gap for all doping and for the structure with two and three radicals of triphenylamine. Through the UV-vis absorption spectrum, there was an improvement in absorption in the range of 490 nm to 615 nm. Another analysis carried out in the sense of energy generation was the evaluation of the thermodynamic potential of the butanol properties as complementary fuel or substitute for conventional fuels. For this, the Gaussian09W allied to the DFT was used again, but combined with the functional ones, hybrid B3LYP with the base set 6-311 ++ G (d, p) and 6-31 + G (d), G3 and G4 , in addition to the CBS / QB3 compounds. The simulations were carried out and the thermodynamic properties were found, such as: the specific molar heat at constant pressure, the enthalpy of formation and the entropy. All the properties were obtained between the temperatures 100K - 1500K and constant pressure of 1atm, in addition the enthalpies of combustion of the butanol isomers were obtained, several ternary mixtures were also proposed where it was possible to compare the enthalpy variations between the fuels: gasoline, ethanol and n-butanol.
