(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-03) LIMA, Rômulo Correa; BLANCO, Claudio José Cavalcante; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8319326553139808; MESQUITA, André Luiz Amarante; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1331279630816662
Freshwater of good quality is a pre-requisite for social and economic development of a given region. Paradoxically, this same development is normally responsible for the pollution of their water sources, through domestic or industrial waste dumping without treatment, or through agricultural activities. In this way, the monitoring and the management of that sources are extremely important for the wellbeing of the people living in that region. Among the possible tools to auxiliary this management is the computational simulation of pollutant transport in the hydro medium. In this context, this work presents a computational procedure for the solution of the 2D advectiondiffusion- reaction equation, which is the basis for all the mass transport models. This process consists in the union of the finite elements and finite difference methods in the discretization of the spatial and temporal components, respectively. This methodology was evaluated with the help of tests with synthetic and real data. First one considered the case of mass transport by pure advection to ensure its stability in cases where the classical formulations fail. Second test simulated the transport of a hypothetical pollutant in a piece of a river and showed the correct effect of the drag due to advection and spreading due to diffusion. The last test evaluated the transport of total phosphorus in Agua Preta Lake from the pumped water of the Guama river and point sources located at the margins of the reservoir. The result of the simulation showed the potential of the algorithm to deal with cases closer to the reality.

Determinação de parâmetros de transferência de massa do processo de extração supercrítica
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-03-01) SANTANA, Ádina Lima de; MACHADO, Nélio Teixeira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5698208558551065; ARAÚJO, Marilena Emmi; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8983914018546682
Supercritical fluid extraction of liquid and solid materials sparked interest for industrial applications in recent decades, particularly under the concept of green chemistry and biorefineries, so it is essential to make a modeling of this process in order to optimize and simulate operating conditions process. The objective of this work consists in determining the parameters of mass transfer of supercritical extraction of solid matrix by employing carbon dioxide as solvent, from kinetic data extraction and five systematic evaluation of mathematical models to describe the kinetics extraction of oils from the peel and pulp of buriti, oil from açaí and oleoresin from turmeric, measured in Supercritical Extraction Laboratory, Faculty of Chemical Engineering (UFPA) in order to contribute to the study of scale-up and production cost analysis. Were evaluated the models of Tan and Liou, Goto et al. (1993), Martinez et al. (2003), Esquível et al. (1999), and Sovová (1994). The extraction kinetics modeling was performed using computer applicatives developed and validated in this work from different experimental data published in the literature. Facing 40 kinetic measurements with different extraction equipment, bed settings, types of raw materials, preparation of materials, pressure and temperature and other process parameters (especially income and global flow solvent), was built an overview of results ability of the models on the mass transfer in more different curves describing the overall extraction. Generally, the model Goto et al. (1993) and Sovová (1994) showed the best predictions to experimental data of raw materials treated in this work with smaller values of chi-square, relative errors, range and standard error and R2 values close to unity.
