The optimization of energy generation systems has become a key issue for technological and social development, mainly in developing countries, where the electricity consumption rises sharply. Gas turbine cycle is an electricity generating system, which studies have demonstrated that inlet air cooling increases net power and thermal efficiency. Thus, this study intends to quantify these parameters for environments with different ambient temperature and relative humidity. Two types of air cooling were used: evaporative and absorption systems. The configuration parameters only with the gas turbine cycle were compared to those whose configuration allowed cooling. First, it was analyzed only evaporative cooling. Next, the absorption system was used for analysis. The last configuration mixed these two methods, dividing equally its flow. The results showed that thermal efficiency and net power increase in any case of cooling, with absorption system more advantageous in terms of generated energy, where an increase between 1 and 2 MW was observed, depending on the ambient conditions . When the two methods were working together at low relative humidity, it showed a thermal efficiency increase compared to absorption system, up to 2.4%. Evaporative cooling was less effective, but it is a good and cheap possibility to increase the cycle parameters at high temperature and low relative humidity

The rising in greenhouse gases emission as consequence of industrial expansion especially in developing countries is appointed as one of those reasons responsible for global warming. High-level temperatures are set as responsible for low productivity and high levels of discomfort. With the increase of worldwide energy demand, due to the population growth, this work aims to be an introductory text revising the current ventilation (mechanical and natural) and refrigeration technologies as well as low energy cooling techniques and architectural alternatives that seeks offering good ventilation and ideal buildings temperatures, making them sustainable. In addition, the text deals with the measurement instruments used to evaluate the parameters defined by international and national standards. At last, a case of study applies few concepts and technologies described in the text, introducing the results achieved, the limitations and suggestions to future works

Neste trabalho encontra-se descrita a síntese do polímero híbrido organo inorgânico, cloreto de 3-n-propil-1-azônia-4-azabiciclo [2.2.2] octano silsesquioxano (dabcosilsesquioxano), através do método sol-gel. O polímero foi obtido por reação entre o precursor orgânico cloreto de 3-n-propiltrimetoxisilano-1-azônia-4-azabiciclo[2.2.2]octano (dabcosil), obtido em nosso laboratório, e o precursor inorgânico tetraetilortosilicato (TEOS) usando relações molares TEOS/dabcosil de 0 até 49, em meio ácido (pH entre 3 e 4). A caracterização destes materiais, realizada por espectroscopia no infravermelho e por análise termogravimétrica, comprovou que são materiais híbridos e que eles apresentam uma estabilidade térmica até 300ºC. Os polímeros com alto grau de conteúdo orgânico mostraram-se solúveis em água e foram facilmente depositados sobre matrizes de sílica, alumina e sílica modificada com um filme de óxido de alumínio (Al/SiO2). Estudos da lixiviação dos polímeros em água, nestas matrizes, mostraram que os mesmos tem melhor aderência na matriz de Al/SiO2. O polímero dabcosilsesquioxano com relação molar TEOS/dabcosil 0,33 impregnado na matriz Al/SiO2 foi usado como adsorvente para CuCl2, ZnCl2 e CdCl2 em solução etanólica, sendo que a capacidade de adsorção dos cloretos metálicos seguiu a ordem CdCl2 > ZnCl2 > CuCl2. A seletividade para a adsorção dos íons metálicos, em situação competitiva, também foi estudada. Os melhores resultados foram encontrados para o cádmio. Os materiais híbridos com menor grau de incorporação orgânica, mostraram-se insolúveis em água. A morfologia destes polímeros foi estudada através da microscopia eletrônica de varredura e de isotermas de adsorção e dessorção de nitrogênio, sendo então obtidas a área superficial específica, a distribuição de tamanho de poros e uma estimativa do tamanho médio de partículas. Um estudo exploratório da potencialidade destes materiais como adsorventes de cátions cádmio em solução aquosa mostrou resultados muito positivos.

A borracha natural (BN) de três clones de seringueira [Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. exAdr. de Juss. Muell.-Arg.)] de um período de sete meses foi obtida por coagulação do látex com solução de ácido acético a 10% e seca a 65°C. As curvas TG-DTG foram utilizadas para monitorar as propriedades térmicas da BN. Os resultados indicaram pequenas variações entre clones e coletas, exceto no valor de Tf-T0, indicando que o clone IAC 301 sofre degradação mais rápida durante o processo termo degradação da BN seca. Não houve diferenças significativas nos valores de Tg entre clones e coletas.

Studies using bio(muco)adhesive drug delivery systems have recently gained great interest, which can promote drug targeting and more specific contact of the drug delivery system with the various absorptive membranes of the body. This technological platform associated with nanotechnology offers potential for controlling drug delivery; therefore, they are excellent strategies to increase the bioavailability of drugs. The objective of this work was to study nanotechnology-based polymeric bio(muco)adhesive platforms for controlling drug delivery, highlighting their properties, how the bio(muco)adhesion can be measured and their potential applications for different routes of administration.

The interest in the use of vegetable fibers (e.g. jute, sisal and curaua) for more noble applications, such as reinforcement in polymeric composite materials, has increased over the years due to a variety of aspects, especially those related to environmental legislation and community awareness regarding the life cycle of products. In this context, the aim of this work is to develop hybrid interlaminate curaua/glass/insaturated polyester composites by hot compression molding and to analyze their mechanical properties as a function of the thickness of the laminate. The short beam strength of the thickest sample decreased due to its higher void content. Furthermore, the thinnest sample showed lower hardness, and lower impact, tensile and Iosipescu shear strength, partly attributed to its lower fiber volumetric fraction. Thus, in general, the most adequate laminate was the one comprising eight layers, four of which were of glass fiber and four of curaua fiber, but only if flexural loading is not critical.

Nowadays environmental pollution can be identified as a major problem in developed and developing countries. This is the result of several factors, such as inappropriate use of natural resources, inficiente legislation and not ecological awareness. Moreover, many other procedures as incorrect use of chemicals still contributed to the worsening of the problem. In this work, we develop a working with the environmental ideals, aiming to contribute to the decomposition of organic material through decomposition of rhodamine in TiO2 thin films on a silicon substrate. The degradation performance was monitored with the aid of techniques such as atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, field emission gun scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform spectroscopy, thermal and photocatalytic analyses
