Water is the driving force in nature. We use water for washing cars, doing laundry, cooking, taking a shower, but also to generate energy and electricity. Therefore water is a necessary product in our daily lives (USGS. Howard Perlman, 2013). The model that we created is based on the urban water demand computer model from the Pacific Institute (California). With this model we will forecast the future urban water use of Emilia Romagna up to the year of 2030. We will analyze the urban water demand in Emilia Romagna that includes the 9 provinces: Bologna, Ferrara, Forli-Cesena, Modena, Parma, Piacenza, Ravenna, Reggio Emilia and Rimini. The term urban water refers to the water used in cities and suburbs and in homes in the rural areas. This will include the residential, commercial, institutional and the industrial use. In this research, we will cover the water saving technologies that can help to save water for daily use. We will project what influence these technologies have to the urban water demand, and what it can mean for future urban water demands. The ongoing climate change can reduce the snowpack, and extreme floods or droughts in Italy. The changing climate and development patterns are expected to have a significant impact on water demand in the future. We will do this by conducting different scenario analyses, by combining different population projections, climate influence and water saving technologies. In addition, we will also conduct a sensitivity analyses. The several analyses will show us how future urban water demand is likely respond to changes in water conservation technologies, population, climate, water price and consumption. I hope the research can contribute to the insight of the reader’s thoughts and opinion.

Joseph Nicolas Cugnot built the first primitive car in 1769 and approximately one hundred year later the first automotive race took place. Thanks to this, for the first time the aerodynamics principles began to be applied to cars. The aerodynamic study of a car is important to improve the performance on the road, or on the track. It purposely enhances the stability in the turns and increases the maximum velocity. However, it is also useful, decrease the fuel consumption, in order to reduce the pollution. Given that cars are a very complex body, the aerodynamic study cannot be conducted following an analytical method, but it is possible, in general, to choose between two different approaches: the numerical or the experimental one. The results of numerical studies depend on the computers’ potential and on the method use to implement the mathematical model. Today, the best way to perform an aerodynamic study is still experimental, which means that in the first phase of the design process the study is performed in a wind tunnel and in later phases directly on track. The automotive wind tunnels are singular mainly due to the test chamber, which typically contains a ground simulation system. The test chamber can have different types of walls: open walls, closed walls, adaptive walls or slotted walls. The best solution is to use the slotted walls because they minimize the interference between the walls and the streamlines, the interaction between the flow and the environment, and also to contain the overall costs. Furthermore, is necessary minimize the boundary layer at the walls, without accelerating the flow, in order to provide the maximum section of homogeneous flow. This thesis aims at redefining the divergent angle of the Dallara Automobili S.P.A. wind tunnel’s walls, in order to improve the overall homogeneity. To perform this study it was necessary to acquire the pressure data of the boundary layer, than it was created the profile of the boundary layer velocity and, to minimize the experimental errors, it was calculated the displacement thickness. The results obtained shows, even if the instrument used to the experiment was not the best one, that the boundary layer thickness could be minor in case of a low diffusion angle. So it is convenient to perform another experiment with a most sensitive instrument to verified what is the better wall configuration.

Elaborato che si propone di evidenziare come i veicoli a benzina e a diesel possano soddisfare la normativa Euro 6. Si analizza il funzionamento dei principali sistemi di after-treatment come: catalizzatore SCR e DeNOx, trappola LNT, filtri FAP e DPF, sistemi EGR, per i motori ad accensione per compressione e catalizzatore TWC per motori ad accensione comandata. Parallelamente, si spiega l'evoluzione della normativa da Euro 6b a Euro 6c in termini di riduzione del numero di particelle di particolato emesse per km e come rispondere a queste più restrittive condizioni; viene introdotto, in via ancora sperimentale, il filtro antiparticolato GPF e un sistema di misurazione di nano particelle di dimensioni inferiori a 23 nm cioè una rivalutazione del metodo PMP. Contestualmente si definisce il progetto CARS 2020, il quale aggiunge una limitazione anche sulla quantità di anidride carbonica emessa a 95 g/km e le eventuali possibili soluzioni per rispettarla: da un maggior uso di combustibili alternativi a miglioramenti tecnologici dei motori stessi. Infine si studiano gli sviluppi dei cicli di omologazione, dal 2017 infatti entreranno in gioco test su strada con dispositivi PEMS on-board e cicli armonizzati WLTC. Le procedure RDE e WLTP permetteranno di testare i vecioli in maniera più reale e globale, rispettivamente, riuscendo a fornire anche valori attendibili dei consumi registrati durante le prove.

In questa tesi esaminerò alcuni aspetti fondamentali della tecnologia moderna tra cui alcune leggi chiave che spiegheranno come mai la crescente disoccupazione in Europa, e in occidente in generale, non è causata solamente da crisi finanziarie o politiche, ma dall'intrinseca natura della tecnologia stessa. Ci troveremo nella situazione nella quale una persona non sia in grado di trovare un'occupazione non a causa di demeriti propri, ma poiché il sistema è diventato talmente ottimizzato da tagliare completamente la necessità di alcuni ruoli chiave nel sistema di lavoro. Spiegherò quali sono le strategie da attuare per evitare di trovarsi in questo nuovo sistema di occupazione senza un ruolo al suo interno, quali sono le politiche che un governo debba attuare per garantire i necessari bisogni primari dei propri cittadini, le strutture che ogni azienda deve creare per rimanere all'interno del proprio settore di investimento.
