Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Análise computacional dos campos de velocidade e temperatura do ambiente interno da usina termelétrica Santana - Amapá(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008-08-07) OLIVEIRA FILHO, Álvaro Henriques de; SAID, Mounsif; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8493361134195157The numerical simulation of the airflow in internal environments is in the present time the most appropriate method for analysis of thermal comfort indoors. The airflow in these environments is configured as a complex one, therefore, in general, it is a combination of free-shear flow (jet) and of wall-shear flow, moreover, these are governed by inertia and buoyancy forces, characterizing a situation of mixing convection. The combination of these mechanisms creates an airflow with complex characteristics, as recirculation zones, vortices, detachment and re-attachment of boundary layer amongst others. Therefore, the precision of the solution will be directly connected, mainly, with the ability of the adopted turbulence model to reproduce the turbulent characteristics of the airflow and thermal transfers. The main objective of the present work was the computational simulation of the internal thermal environment of the enclosure which shelters the generators and the Wärtzilä engines of the thermo-electric power plant of Santana in the state of Amapá (Brazil). The mathematical formulation based on the solution of the general equations of conservation includes an analysis of the principal models of turbulence applied to the airflow inside the enclosure, as well as the heat transfer processes associated. The finite-volume numerical method is used in the discretization of the conservation equations, through the Fluent-Airpak software, for the analysis of the distribution of air velocity and temperature fields. The correct use of the software was tested and validated by successfully simulating problems solved by other authors. The numerical results of the airflow in the enclosure were compared with the experimental data and presented a good agreement, by considering the complexity of the simulated problem and the limitations and difficulties found during measurements. Moreover, simulations are presented of strategies for improvement of the thermal environment, based on the actual reality and on the results of the numerical simulations. Finally, simulations of a prototype solution are presented with the reduction of the internal temperature in the enclosure. This solution allows an increase of the exposure time inside the enclosure, from 20 up to 30%, and improves the thermal comfort of the thermo-electric power plant.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Análise da forma da partícula na aplicação do Método dos Elementos Discretos (DEM)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-08-06) SANTOS, Elias Gomes dos; MESQUITA, André Luiz Amarante; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1331279630816662This work analyzes the effect of particle shape through the Discrete Element Method (DEM). Are employed four particles with different shapes and sphericity – one spherical and three non-spherical. The repose angle is the main tool to evaluating of the flow. The analysis starts with the calibration of the spherical particle using available literature data, then theses calibrated parameters are employed for the flow simulation of the non-spherical particles. Comparisons are performed on the computational effort, and this information is used to verify the advantages that the spherical particle provides on the three other shapes. In this scenario, procedures were developed to help in the calibration process of the repose angle, based in the knowledge of the sensitivity of some DEM parameters. The results show the influence of non-spherical shapes and, mainly, that is possible to obtain with the spherical shape, similar flows to the non-spherical shapes with computational gain.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Análise da influência dos solutos Zr e Ti sobre as propriedades mecânica, elétrica e de termorresistência de uma liga Al-Cu-Fe-Si destinada a Tx e a Dx de energia elétrica(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-01-10) MACHADO, Paulo Cordeiro; QUARESMA, José Maria do Vale; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7443111804471290The global energy context presents a steady increase in electricity consumption in the last century, thus requiring the search for new materials for use in wire and cable conductors of electricity. From these demands for new materials, was developed an analysis of the influence of solute titanium and zirconium in the modification of important characteristics of the Al-Cu-Fe-Si alloy, destined to be the middle conductor of electricity, aiming to get properties resistant to heat. For this study, the alloys were obtained by direct casting in Ushaped metal ingots, from the Al-EC, standing at the base levels of 0.05 wt% Cu, [0.24 to 0.28] wt% Fe and 0.7 wt% Si, and then inserting the contents of 0.26 wt% Zr and 0.26 wt% Ti. The experiments were, divided in two steps, STEP A and STEP B , respectively. In order to characterize mechanical, electrical and structure of alloys. The specimens after cold rolling (in diameters of 2.7, 3.0, 3.8 and 4.0 mm) were analyzed without heat treatment (STT) and with heat treatment (CTT): 230 °C for one hour, according to the protocol COPEL (Companhia Paranaense de Energia Elétrica), 310 °C and 390 °C for one hour, to evaluate the heat resistance at higher temperatures, thermal stability and analyze the microstructures developed in these heat treatments (TT). It was found that Ti has more capacity to refine the grain compared to Zr, which has less refined grains, but with better physical properties are presented and heat resistant.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Análise da velocidade crítica de escoamento e estudo reológico de polpas de caulim da bacia do rio capim em dutos circulares(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009) RUFINO, Romulo Lima; CRUZ, Daniel Onofre de Almeida; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0536286226914691The mineral industry represents a great economy state stimulator, and we can have as that industry highlights the kaolin beneficiation sector. The problem solutions related to that activity is a great opportunity to interact university and industry, besides that it’s a very fertile area to scientific development. A important point to be studied is the kaolin slurry flow inside pipelines and related equipments; problems as incrustation and pipeline pressure drop calculations weren’t still definitely resolved by the industry. In this context the present work consists in develop a methodology to calculate the flow parameters principally the necessary minimum velocity for the suspended particles do not deposit into the pipe. So the main purpose of this dissertation is to analyze, through the methodology implementation, the deposition velocity calculation during the slurry kaolin flow with different mass fraction (% in solid weight) into circular pipelines; from rheological studies done with samples taken from the beneficiation process; there by providing knowledge to the technicians and engineers that desire to design a slurry kaolin pump system; minimizing their problems with sub or super dimensioning, causing material deposition what represents production and environment hazardous whereas it will be necessary to open the pipeline to remove the material deposited due to the low flow velocity.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Análise de sistemas de controle de vibração em máquinas rotativas utilizando atuadores formados por ligas com memória de forma(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009-12-04) SILVA, José Adriano Brito da; MESQUITA, Alexandre Luiz Amarante; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3605920981600245The application of shape memory alloys (SMA) has been showed as a promising alternative in the vibration control area mainly due to the shape memory and pseudoelastic phenomena which this alloys present. In addition, they show large recovery forces and damping capacity when compared to traditional materials. Despite a great number of papers dealing with SMA abilities applied to vibration control in structures, there are only a few reports about applications of SMA in rotordynamics. Hence, this work focuses basic aspects in the numerical application of SMA actuators for vibration control in rotating machines. In the first analysis of this work it is used a Jeffcott rotor with SMA sleeves placed into one of the bearings. It has been employed different sleeve thickness in the martensite and austenite states and the changes in terms of amplitude and frequency are compared. Furthermore, in the second analysis, two different rotating systems with two discs and SMA springs applied at one and both bearings are analyzed under different set-ups. The springs have been placed externally to bearings and the work temperature is set according to the requirement of vibration control. Moreover, it was used a computational code to represent the thermomechanical behavior of SMA springs as well as a numerical code based on Finite Element Method (FEM) to simulate the dynamic behavior of rotors. The results of the numerical analyses demonstrated the SMA are efficient in the vibration control of rotating systems due to accomplish great reductions in the displacement amplitudes, changes in the critical speeds, suppression of unwanted movements and control of precession orbit shape.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Análise experimental das emissões de uma microturbina a gás utilizando biodiesel(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011) FERREIRA, Ricardo Wallace Machado; NOGUEIRA, Manoel Fernandes Martins; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2324813094737469; GUERRA, Danielle Regina da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6750321690921056This work presents an experimental study with the use of biodiesel, diesel, natural gas and mixtures operating in a gas microturbine as fuel. The main objective of the study is to understand the emissions produced by the fuels. The experimental apparatus was constructed entirely for the purpose of performing tests with natural gas and changes in the supply line were made for the supply of liquid fuel, no changes were made in the combustion chamber. The experiments were performed for rotations of 45.000rpm, 50.000rpm, 55.000rpm and 60.000rpm. By the experimental difficulties encountered in understanding the combustion process and its emissions, a complementary procedure for the emissions estimation is presented, resolving and estimating the composition of emissions through ComGas V1.0 software which calculates combustion in the equilibrium. As a contribution, we present experimental data for CO, CO2, O2, gas exhaust temperature, mass flow rates, molar flow rates, and energy characterizing of fuels and mixtures.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Análise experimental sobre velocidade de captura em sistemas de transporte pneumático(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2006) GOMES, Luiz Moreira; MESQUITA, André Luiz Amarante; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1331279630816662The transport velocity is one of the most important parameters in the pneumatic transport of solids. The success of the particulates materials conveying depends on the prediction or the determination of the minimum velocity of transport. The velocity above of that necessary to the steady transport of solid particles leads to a great energy consumption due to an increased pressure drop of the system, solids degradation and abrasion of solids and of the tube. On the other hand, a velocity below of this boundary-value certainly will result on the deposition of solid particles for bottom of the tube and its consequently blockage. In this work, a technique to measure the minimum pickup velocity of solid particles in horizontal pneumatic conveying has been developed. It is based on visual observation of the particles behavior when occurring the capture, on measures of the velocity of operation of the gas and the mass of captured particles. The qualitative analysis of some parameters is made still that influence in the pickup velocity of particles, allowing a bigger understanding of the involved phenomena.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Análise técnico-econômica da substituição parcial do combustível diesel pelo gás natural em motores marítimos na região amazônica(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007-12-07) FRANCO, Alcides Canêjo Linhares; MESQUITA, André Luiz Amarante; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1331279630816662The international experience indicates the existence of five main elements related to the expansion of the natural gas consumption as following: a) availability of natural gas reserve; b) restriction offers of other energy ones (especially for the electricity generation); c) concern with the environment by a environmental legislation more rigorous, each day; d) the investments attraction by the private companies permission for the distribution and commercialization of the natural gas; e) the generalized permission for the industry, attracting private companies, because of the opportunity of the investment. In this scene, the construction of the gas line Coari (extraction base) Urucu-Manaus with about 670 kilometers of total extension that will be ready on April of 2008, as divulged by Petrobras on 05/21/2007 and will carry 4.7 million cubic meters per day of natural gas in the first phase of operation. The foreseen total investment is of R$2.4 billions. The natural gas will substitute the diesel and the combustible oil used, mainly, in the production of great part of the consumed electric energy in the Amazon State. It will be used also in the industrial and commercial processes, as well as supplying, with safety, auto-machine vehicles (automobiles, pickups, light trucks, bus). This last application stimulated this research, that establish a technical-economic analysis of the partial substitution of the fuel diesel by the natural gas in maritime engines in the Amazon Region, because the boats are vehicles that cross the rivers of this Region and are used for load and passengers transportation. First, it is demonstrated that it is possible, in technical conditions, the conversion of the diesel engines to consume the diesel mixed with natural gas to the taxes of substitution of diesel for natural gas from 5% to 90%, using available technologies that are in the Brazilian market, under the view of energy and environment performances. Later it presents an economic analysis of the conversion, considering the reservoirs for natural gas compressed - NGC offered in the national market and the kits of conversion. The research reveals: a) the economic viability of the enterprise if the weights and the volumes of the natural gas reservoirs are neglected, especially the first one; b) the no economic viability, considering the transport of the reservoirs, in the boats, that had no financial results because of the prices of the taxes resulting of the space occupied by the volumes and the weights of these reservoirs.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Aspectos metalúrgicos de revestimentos em dutos depositados com a superliga de níquel ERNiCrMo-4 pelos processos MIG convencional e MIG com adição de arame frio(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-08-02) SANTOS, Marcio Wagner Batista dos; MOTA, Carlos Alberto Mendes da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2041034504642740This work is a metallurgical analysis of the inner lining layer of pipeline used in welding process MIG C and MIG AF. The petrochemical industry, and others that use pipelines for transportation of their raw materials, faces a major challenge: how to increase the useful life of these products in a harsh environment work? In the specific case of the petrochemical industry, whom this research is directed, the pipes serve as means of transportation for oil and gas, products that are extremely aggressive to the internal walls of these tubes that are degraded by corrosion, caused mainly, by chemical composition, pressure and temperature these products. In this context the welding of lining made with nickel-based alloys becomes an excellent option for the construction, repair and maintenance of equipment whose application be returned in harsh environments of work, allowing the improvement of characteristics required, such as the resistance to corrosion. It is this scenario that emerges the theme for this research, based on studies that indicate that the process of welding MIG / MAG with the addition of cold wire, has to evaluate the metallurgical characteristics of the pipeline coating deposited by the derivative process MIG conventional – MIG-C and MIG with the addition of cold wire - MIG AF - using Nickel alloy ERNiCrMo-4 in carbon steel pipelines. The welds were deposited in pipes of 228.6 mm of diameter, forming a layer of internal lining of four passes, divided into three segments of the circumference of the duct, in three different welding energy: 1.1, 0.9 and 0.7 kJ / mm. These segments are removed specimens of the ducts, for the production of the samples. After metallography, performed on the samples, followed with the analysis and characterization by optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and testing of microhardness. The coatings exhibited excellent surface quality for all operational packages used in obtaining the welds. The results of the analysis of the regions studied: metal base, partially mixed zone and heat affected zone, were compatible with the literature studied for both the MIG with the addition of cold wire, as for the conventional. In HAZ were observed values of Tungsten around 1.0%, the increased levels of hardness was credited to this fact. The microhardness results indicated that in both cases, MIG C and MIG AF, in 4 regions analyzed occurred similarly, and the HAZ region which showed the highest values in the range 400-500 HV, while in the other regions range was between 250-350 HV. The results indicate that the process with cold wire, MIG AF, was as efficient as the conventional MIG C. The welding power increased the dilution of Fe in the weld metal. Precipitates rich in Mo and Cr were found in the weld metal.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Avaliação das propriedades mecânicas e elétricas da liga 6201 não refinada, modificada com os teores de cobre (0,05 e 0,3)% para transporte de energia elétrica(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009-03-27) VENTURA, Odila da Silva Passos; QUARESMA, José Maria do Vale; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7443111804471290At the present work, experiments were made with the unrefined alloy Al – 0,6%Mg - 0,8%Si, with variations in copper content (0,05% e 0,3%), that aimed to evaluate two aspects of the alloy behavior. The first aspect concerns the affinity between it and the mold, which seeks to observe the effect of the solidification thermal variables of the structure of molten and the correlation with mechanical and electrical properties, the second aspect is related with the intrinsic behavior of the variation on the chemical composition subject at low speed and cooling rates. For evaluating the solidification thermal variables (liquidus isotherms velocities, cooling rates) was used a device for horizontal unidirectional solidification. The ingots produced from the solidification of the alloy rose by mechanical machining, laminating and steel drawing, examined in different positions and diameters, by testing the traction and electric conductivity. Fractures were analyzed in terms of micro cavities and different levels of copper and it was found that in the cold deformed material, the limit of tensile strength has a trend of growth for the alloys of higher concentration of copper. The measured values have also concluded that the electrical conductivity increases the greater the diameter of the micro cavities and lower the copper content. In order to evaluate only the intrinsic variation behavior of the alloy chemical composition, a second device was used for solidification, mold in "U", painted internally in solution of kaolin that attaches to such low rates of cooling. The results show that for both copper content there is a tendency of increase in the limit of tensile strength with increasing reduction suffered by the samples, the limit of tensile strength greater for the alloy with higher copper content. We attach this behavior to the higher content of solute which in turn showed better response to plastic deformation, compressing the material. However, the electrical characterization occurs in an opposite way, as seen in unidirectional solidification, where the lowest copper content was more efficient.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Caracterização da liga 6101 refinada com a adição de diferentes teores de cobre e solidificadas em molde unidirecional horizontal e em molde "U"(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007) FEITOSA, Johnyson Pereira; QUARESMA, José Maria do Vale; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7443111804471290The 6101 alloy (series 6xxx) was modified with addition of 0.05% and 0.3% of copper and with additions of grain refiners as Al-Ti-B. The alloys were thermally characterized (heat transfer coefficient of metal / mold, displacement speed of liquidus isothermal and cooling rate), mechanically (tensile strength and toughness module) and electrically (electric resistivity, specific resistance and power conductivity) using two forms of pouring out: one is horizontal directional solidification and the other into the "U" mold. By horizontal directional solidification was possible characterize the macrostructure, influenced by refiners of grain and by viscosity that copper provides in the metal / mold efficiency of alloys researched, modifying the thermal, mechanical and electrical properties. The solidification in "U" mold makes possible evaluates the mechanical and electrical properties, seeing the forming process variables of alloys, as forming rate, tensile strength, toughness and electric resistivity, power conductivity and electric resistance, using the specimens obtained in several diameters. For the “U” mold were casting more two alloys to evaluation, Al-0,6Mg-0,4Si-0,1Cu and Al-0,6Mg-0,4Si-0,2Cu. The mechanical and electrical properties had been influenced by cold working, copper content and shrinkage void presents into alloys structures.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Caracterização das propriedades de fluxo da lama vermelha para fins de dimensionamento de silos: aplicação para tremonhas cônicas(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-10-07) LOBATO, Júlio César Mendes; MESQUITA, André Luiz Amarante; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1331279630816662One of the factors that affect the flow of bulk solids in silos is the moisture content, which stands out by favoring the formation of cohesive arches. In this sense, the aim of this work focused on determining the flow properties of the product red mud and its classification as to its flowability due to the variation of moisture content. Having the moisture influence on the flow in conical hoppers lined with smooth metal plates and UHMW (Ultra High Weight Polyethylene molecular ). To that end we used the direct shear apparatus "Jenike Shear Cell", along with the two wall surfaces. To determine the factor flow from the hopper and the angle of inclination to the horizontal, we used the graphics methodology proposed by Jenike for mass flow. And in determining the minimum diameter of the hopper, we applied the equations proposed by Jenike and Enstad. It was found that red mud is cohesive and has flow type hard with little variation for levels of moisture studied. The roughness of parades tested had a mild influence on the slope of the hopper. While the results of diameter variation experienced hopper relative moisture levels analyzed for red mud. From the observations made to flow in the silo acrylic model has been found that it rises to the level of moisture becomes more difficult the flow of red mud product.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Caracterização de um gaseificador do tipo downdraft(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010) ALVES, Charles Denys da Luz; NOGUEIRA, Manoel Fernandes Martins; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2324813094737469The gasification is a thermo-chemical conversion of biomass in fuel gas which can be used as a fuel in internal combustion engines or as a syngas for chemical industry. To quantify the performance of a gasifier we must quantify the energy contained in the gas produced and relate to the amount of energy contained in the biomass that feeds the gasifier, Energy Efficiency, and even with regard to levels of carbon converted from biomass into the gas produced, Carbon Conversion. This paper assesses the energy efficiency and carbon conversion in a prototype of an Indian downdraft gasifier type produced by a local company (Floragás). The gasifier nominal parameters are: gas production capacity of 45 kWt, açaí seeds consumption of 15 kg/h. The gasifier reactor dimensions are ID 150 mm and height in 2000 mm). Its energy efficiency and rate of carbon conversion were quantified, the drop in pressure due to the reactor bed and the gas temperature were also measured at the reactor exit and quantified the concentration of tar, particulate and not condensable gases (CO, CO2, CH4, SO2, N2 and NOx) in the flue gas after cleaning system.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Caracterização microestrutural e de propriedades mecânicas de soldas do aço ASTM A 131 pelos processos FCAW convencional e com adição de arame frio(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-09-23) RODRIGUES, Lino Alberto Soares; BRAGA, Eduardo de Magalhães; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4783553888547500The work presented here show comparatively mechanical properties and microstructure of weld metals employing two welding techniques, an already disseminated, FCAW (arc welding with cored wire) and the other is innovative, FCAW-AF (arc welding with Adding Tubular Wire with a cold wire is not energized) at three levels of speed 6, 8 and 10 m / min. In this process two diameters of the cold wire 0.8 and 1.0 mm were used. The base metal used was a naval steel ASTM 131 grade A (low carbon) in geometry of plates 150 mm x 300 mm x 9.5 mm, applied to V-groove (Bisel of 22.5°) with angle 45° summed, with mild opening of root of 2.4 mm. The weld used was top type with the application of two passes, one root pass and the pass of finish (or filling). In order to establish of weld conditions 5 types of destructive were carried out: face transverse bend, tension, impact test (Charpy notched type V), microhardness and metallographic test. In addition to the non-destructive analysis visual and penetrating liquid. In general, the results for the process FCAW-CW, show themselves compatibles, regarding the process FCAW conventional, but some results showed smaller values of mechanical property. This fact much probably happened due the presence of discontinuities in the welded joint FCAW-CW. The microstructural characterization presented similar results to FCAW-CW and FCAW conventional for all energy levels studied.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Colagem de junta de madeira com adesivo epóxi(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010-02-08) CARNEIRO, Ruth Pereira; FUJIYAMA, Roberto Tetsuo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3165747089941318This work has as objective of making, to test and to compare the glued joints of butt, scarf and finger with three species of wood of different densities. The collage of the wood makes possible the use of pieces and surpluses of wood that are usually discarded, could minimize the cut of a lot of trees, be of the nature or of planned planting. The methodology of production of the joint, it was established with base in indications described in Brazilian norms. Macroscopic observation of the wood it was accomplished, for confirmation of your species. After established the dimension of the joints they were made bodies of proof, using the adhesive Compound Adhesive of epoxy base and wood Angelim-pedra, Jatobá and Tauari, acquired in wood deposit in the city of Ananindeua-Pa. With relationship the characterization of the adhesive, it was verified through the traction tests that has good mechanical resistance. After collages of the joints it was accomplished traction tests to determining the resistance of the glued joints. The glued joints performance it was evaluated in function of the relationship among the values of resistance to traction of the solid wood and the values of resistance to traction with glued wood and rupture way. In agreement with the results it was observed that the glued joints scarf they presented excellent resistance to traction, very close of the resistance of the solid wood; it was also noticed the good acceptance of collage of the wood Jatobá. With relationship the quality of the adhesion, the glued joints of butt and finger, therefore they presented adhesive rupture. The experimental results obtained indicate a good agreement among the theoretical models to evaluate the resistance to the traction and the qualification of the glued joints.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Comportamento mecânico de material compósito de matriz poliéster reforçado por sistema híbrido fibras naturais e resíduos da indústria madeireira(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008-02-29) RODRIGUES, Jean da Silva; FUJIYAMA, Roberto Tetsuo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3165747089941318In this work, composite materials of polyester matrix reinforced by short sisal fiber, by residue of wood and by hybrid system for sisal / residue of wood, arranged randomly, were produced using the minimum stages of technology processing in the productive step, with views to produce a composite material easy technically to produce. The polyester matrix used was a pre-accelerated tereftálica with cobalt naftenato and cured at room temperature with methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEK) in different proportions in relation to the resin, 0.33%, 1.66%, 3.33% and 5.00% by volume in order to evaluate the influence on mechanical properties. The sisal fibers were manually cut in lengths of 5, 10 and 15 mm and used in the way purchased and surface untreated. The residue of wood powder was used of maçaranduba wood. The composites were produced by manual moulding, without pressure and room temperature. Specimen were manufactured for evaluated matrix, composites reinforced by sisal, ranging of the length of the fibres, composites reinforced by maçaranduba residue and strengthening of hybrid composites, sisal / wood residue, in different proportions of the constituents. Mechanical properties were evaluated by tests of traction and Charpy impact and the areas of fracture generated were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy in order to correlate aspects of fracture with the mechanical properties. It was determined the specific mass of each series of specimen of each manufactured, and the volume fraction of the composite material. The results showed that the increase in the length of the sisal fiber, tensile strength and impact of composites has been increased, reaching the composite of sisal fibre, 15 mm, the best performance with the specimen series tested. The heterogeneity of size maçaranduba residue was negative effect on the mechanical properties of composites. The hybrid composites materials sisal / wood residue with higher content of fibers elevated in 80% of the mechanical properties obtained for the composite material reinforced only by sisal fiber.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Comportamento mecânico e de flamabilidade de compósito de polipropileno reclicado com fibra de coco e hidróxido de alumínio(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2006-05-02) SILVA, Vera Lúcia Dias da; DIAS, Carmen Gilda Barroso Tavares; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2113791118142177The plastic recycling has been an interesting possibility to minimize the destiny problem of the plastic residues. The polypropylene (PP) is enters the types polymers of larger consumption, therefore the utilization of this material has been enabling the studies development of great scientific and social relevance. This polymer presents excellent cost-performance relation, besides can be easily conformed and to exibit mechanical properties that turns it useful in several applications. However, this material when being burnt generates products that act as combustible so that, for some uses, flame resistance good is necessary. This can be gotten by flame retardant addition, that has the intention to increase the resistance of this material to the ignition and, at the same time reducing the propagation speed of the flame. The aluminium hydroxide, or simply alumina hydrate, is the flame retardant agent used most in the market, therefore it also acts as smoke suppressant and it does not liberate toxic gases during the burning. However, for such properties, high alumina hydrate concentrations are necessary. This causes deterioration in the physical properties of the materials for not have reinforcing character. The natural fibres own good reinforcement capacity when combined adequately with polymers. Also presenting advantages as low cost, low density, biodegradability and in the combustion does not emanate toxic gases. In this work, mixtures contend alumina hydrate and coco fibres had been incorporated polypropylene with the objective of if finding an properties rocking adequate for use of this composite with characteristics flame resistance and mechanical performance. The composites were molded by hot compression and characterized by IV, DRX, MEV, mechanical and non-flammability tests. Increase in the elasticity modulus of the composites in general was observed, as well as increase in the tenacity resistance of the PP/coco fiber composite regarding pure PP. The results had indicated the efficiency of alumina hydrate as it flame retardant, in all the composites, except PP/F, classifying the materials as V-0 according to international norm UL 94V.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Compósito de argamassa de cimento reforçada por fibra de sisal com entalhe definidos: caracterização mecânica e mecanismo de falha(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010) PERES, Maria das Neves Pontes Barata; FUJIYAMA, Roberto Tetsuo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3165747089941318In this work, we developed a new composite material using as a matrix of cement mortar reinforced with sisal fibers to 1% by weight, which were manually cut into lengths of 15 mm and 25 mm used without surface treatment using the lowest possible level of technological processes in manufacturing steps. The research was conducted to study the mechanisms of failure of this new material. The composites were produced with manual molding using immersion vibrator for better densification. Specimens were fabricated of the pure base and with the composites with sisal fiber, with pre-defined slots of 1.7 mm, 3,0 mm and 5,0 mm. The mechanical properties were evaluated by a bending test at three points and correlated with the fractographic appearance made in the Scanning Electron Microscope. The results showed that the presence of sisal fibers, embedded in cement paste,plastic shrinkage caused restriction of fresh mixture, possibly due to high water absorption capacity of fibrous reinforcement, an increase in mechanical strength and increased toughness of the composite over the base between the series of notches, decreasing the tendency to sudden fracture.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Confecção de discos de desbaste a partir de AI2O3 e pó de vidro(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009) OLIVEIRA, Rosane Felice de; DIAS, Carmen Gilda Barroso Tavares; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2113791118142177This article describes the development of abrasive and cutting disks made of alumina and waste glass powder to apply in cutting tools. These disk mills are used to micromize rigid post-consumed thermoplastics and let its use in a lot of recycling process, as rotomolding. This cutting disk uses glass powder as a fluxing agent and poly(ethylene terephthalate) post-consumed to give a plastic behavior to the powder, making it easier to fill in the mold. The amounts of glass powder were analyzed from previous studies with different minerals, as diopside and feldspar, since the studies with waste glass powder substituting natural minerals are recent. The development of the disks occurs in two steps. The first one is the homogeneization of the compounds with the calculated amounts. Afterwards it's pressed and taken to the mufla to get the percolation of the resin and its complete degradation up to a temperature of 900oC, pre-sintering and soften the silicates. After getting these green composites, it happens the second and final step, when the disks are sintered to decrease the porosity and improve its strength, followed by a superficial finish and cutting tests.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Construção de um modelo de dispersão de poluentes na Baía do Guajará(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2005-12-19) BATISTA, Adriano Gomes; SENA, Manoel José dos Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2349287816857909; MESQUITA, André Luiz Amarante; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1331279630816662The sea and coastal environment of Brazil have suffered a process of considerable environmental degradation in the last years. This degradation was caused by the growing environmental pressure on the sea and the continental natural resources that have overwhelmed the limited capacity of the ecosystems to absorb the impacts. In the specific case of the Bay of Guajará, located in the Estuaries Guajará, in the area delimited by the Bay of Marajó and for the rivers Pará and Guamá, these risks are associated mainly to the pollution originating from of the city of Belém and the petroleum derived pollution caused by transport operations. In the case of the Bay of Guajará, it is known that there are sewer spillings periodically caused by the tide. Because this pollution is caused by the tide, there is little that can be done to correct or soften the effects of this problem. The numeric models consider the complexity of the physical phenomena that govern the operation of the coastal environment, and have been used as tools in hydrodynamic simulation with recognized importance in coastal administration. This application can support several studies: the understanding of the dispersing processes of pollutants; the implantation of systems of monitoring of water quality; the plan of action in cases of a oil spillage; and the effects of alterations in the geometry of channels and bays and estuaries. The objective of this work is to explain these subjects and to describe the necessary stages for the construction of a numeric model of dispersion in the Bay of Guajará using the tools of the Systems of Geographical Information and the Method of Finite Elements.
