Els objectius d'aquest projecte són el disseny d'una instal·lació fotovoltaica connectada a xarxa que sigui capaç de produir la mateixa quantitat d’energia que consumeix la casa de colònies a on es troba ubicada. La particularitat d’aquesta instal·lació serà que els generadors fotovoltaics aniran sobra una plataforma giratòria que seguirà el sol buscant sempre la millor i major producció energètica. El control d'aquesta estructura anirà a càrrec d'un autòmat programable. Aprofitant l'existència de panells fotovoltaics, s'ha dissenyat un sistema d’acumulació d’energia de 2 kW de potència que dotarà de corrent una línia que, en cas de falla en el sistema d’alimentació general, es mantindrà ininterrompuda. Aquesta línia serà de 230 V i està dissenyada per tenir una autonomia de 2 hores

Since data-taking began in January 2004, the Pierre Auger Observatory has been recording the count rates of low energy secondary cosmic ray particles for the self-calibration of the ground detectors of its surface detector array. After correcting for atmospheric effects, modulations of galactic cosmic rays due to solar activity and transient events are observed. Temporal variations related with the activity of the heliosphere can be determined with high accuracy due to the high total count rates. In this study, the available data are presented together with an analysis focused on the observation of Forbush decreases, where a strong correlation with neutron monitor data is found.

O presente trabalho pesquisa o fenômeno da transferência simultânea de calor e umidade em solos insaturados que envolvem dutos enterrados. Estes dutos e o solo envolvente compõem o chamado sistema trocador-armazenador de calor no solo, que é muitas vezes utilizado como fonte complementar de aquecimento em estufas solares agrícolas. O funcionamento do sistema trocador-armazenador de calor é baseado na energia armazenada no solo durante os horários de máxima insolação, sendo que durante a noite parte desta energia é recuperada. Durante o dia o ar quente do meio interno da estufa solar é bombeado para dentro do feixe de tubos enterrados, que devolvem o ar mais frio na outra extremidade. Por outro lado, durante a noite o ar mais frio do meio interno da estufa é bombeado para dentro dos dutos, os quais efetuam troca térmica com o solo envolvente, que neste horário possui a temperatura mais elevada do sistema. O objetivo geral deste trabalho é resolver o problema transiente periódico e tridimensional da transferência simultânea de calor e umidade em solos não-saturados, que compõem o sistema trocador-armazenador de calor, utilizando a simulação numérica. Como objetivos secundários têm-se: o melhoramento do sistema de troca térmica, a quantificação da parcela de calor transportado pela difusão da umidade no solo e a análise dos campos de temperatura e de conteúdo de umidade, sendo que a análise dos campos de umidade permite verificar se existe formação de frentes de secagem significativas na vizinhança dos dutos durante os sucessivos períodos de aquecimento e resfriamento a que o sistema é submetido. Na resolução do problema em questão é empregado o modelo clássico de Philip e De Vries para a transferência simultânea de calor e massa em meios porosos insaturados Neste modelo, as equações de conservação de energia e massa obtidas trazem explicitamente as influências combinadas dos gradientes de temperatura e de conteúdo de umidade nos processos de transporte de calor e umidade. O sistema de equações diferenciais governantes do problema em questão é resolvido numericamente utilizando o Método dos Volumes Finitos e na discretização destas equações é usada uma integração temporal totalmente implícita. Todas as propriedades difusivas e termofísicas empregadas são consideradas variáveis com a temperatura e o conteúdo de umidade. Os dutos de seção transversal circular do sistema trocadorarmazenador de calor no solo, são modelados como dutos de seção transversal quadrada de área equivalente para que coordenadas cartesianas possam ser utilizadas nos modelos analisados. Neste trabalho são simulados quatro modelos computacionais associados ao sistema trocador-armazenador de calor no solo. Estes modelos são compostos por: um duto isolado, um duto com convecção, dois dutos isolados e dois dutos com convecção. A variação da temperatura do ar na entrada do(s) escoamento(s), assim como a temperatura do meio ambiente, para os modelos com convecção, é dada por uma senóide com uma amplitude de 14 ºC. No modelo de um duto isolado, são realizadas simulações utilizando várias combinações dos parâmetros do modelo em questão e os resultados, assim obtidos, são comparados com aqueles encontrados na literatura Visando melhorar o sistema de troca térmica dos modelos computacionais investigados, são selecionados valores e intervalos de valores recomendados para os parâmetros do modelo de um duto isolado. Para este modelo, com um diâmetro de 0,1 m, são escolhidos valores (ou intervalos de valores) recomendados: de 4 m/s para a velocidade do escoamento interno dentro do duto, de 0,25 para o conteúdo de umidade do solo, de 5 até 20 metros para o comprimento do duto e de 0,20 até 0,30 m para a distância entre centros do dutos. As simulações dos quatro modelos computacionais realizadas utilizando as várias combinações dos valores recomendados para os parâmetros destes modelos, mostrou que não há diferença significativa entre os valores de calor volumétrico armazenado no solo empregando a resolução acoplada das equações de energia e de massa e a resolução da equação da temperatura. Mesmo para os modelos de um e de dois dutos com convecção a diferença percentual encontrada foi insignificante. Finalmente, são apresentados e analisados os campos de temperatura e de conteúdo de umidade para os quatro modelos computacionais avaliados. Os perfis de temperatura e de conteúdo de umidade em diferentes horários mostraram que, durante o dia, o solo absorve calor dos escoamentos internos de ar e, uma vez que, junto à superfície dos dutos tem-se regiões de maior temperatura, há, conseqüentemente, uma migração da umidade nestas regiões. Durante a noite, ocorre o contrário, o solo fornece calor aos escoamentos dentro dos dutos, e, desta forma, as regiões próximas aos dutos apresentam níveis de conteúdo de umidade superiores ao inicial. Ainda, os perfis de conteúdo de umidade para todas as situações analisadas mostraram que, não há formação de frentes de secagem significativas nas proximidades dos dutos que compõem os quatro modelos computacionais avaliados.

This work purposes the application of a methodology to optimize the implantation cost of an wind-solar hybrid system for oil pumping. The developed model is estimated the implantation cost of system through Multiple Linear Regression technique, on the basis of the previous knowledge of variables: necessary capacity of storage, total daily energy demand, wind power, module power and module number. These variables are gotten by means of sizing. The considered model not only can be applied to the oil pumping, but also for any other purposes of electric energy generation for conversion of solar, wind or solar-wind energy, that demand short powers. Parametric statistical T-student tests had been used to detect the significant difference in the average of total cost to being considered the diameter of the wind, F by Snedecor in the variance analysis to test if the coefficients of the considered model are significantly different of zero and test not-parametric statistical by Friedman, toverify if there is difference in the system cost, by being considered the photovoltaic module powers. In decision of hypothesis tests was considered a 5%-significant level. The configurations module powers showed significant differences in total cost of investment by considering an electrical motor of 3 HP. The configurations module powers showed significant differences in total cost of investment by considering an electrical motor of 5 HP only to wind speed of 4m/s and 6 m/s in wind of 3 m, 4m and 5 m of diameter. There was not significant difference in costs to diameters of winds of 3 m and 4m. The mathematical model and the computational program may be used to others applications which require electrical between 2.250 W and 3.750 W. A computational program was developed to assist the study of several configurations that optimizes the implantation cost of an wind-solar system through considered mathematical model

Due to the increasing need to promote the use of resources that support the environment and the clean industry, the science has developed in the area of natural resource use as well as enhanced use of the renewable energy sources. Considering also the great need for clean water and wide availability of salt or brackish water, added to the great solar energy potential in northeastern of the Brazil, it was developed a solar distiller whose main difference is its system of pre-solar heating also. From experimental adjustments, the system was developed by the use of a cylindrical solar concentrator coupled to a conventional distiller. The system is designed such that attempt to facilitate the process termination trap to ensure constant movement of the fluid mass and thus enable higher temperatures to the system and thus fetch a higher amount of distillate collected. In a stage of the experiment were used a forced circulation to try to further increase the amount of energy exchange system. To develop the study were set up four settings for comparison in which one was only distiller simple as basic parameter, the second proposed configuration were with the coupling of the concentration triggered manually every 30 minutes to monitor the sun, the third configuration occurred with automatic triggering of a timer, and the fourth configuration was also used a pumping system that tried to improve the circulation of the fluid. With the comparative analysis of the results showed a gain in the amount of distillate system, especially in the forced model

It´s been motivating motivated by the current rulers as an energy solution the use of the biodiesel as source of energy, that doesn't damage the environment and promotes the development of the areas where the base plant are grown. The process of production of the biodiesel, starting from the castor oil plant and its derivers, generates a known product as castor oil plant pie that has been used as fertilizer. Once disintoxicated, it can serve as animal ration, because it contains high content of proteins, presenting larger joined value. The disintoxication process, can be obtained through the process of drying the pie with the construction and use of models of dryers capable to elevate the temperature of the castor oil plant pie to approximately 60ºC.In this temperature the product tends to eliminate the ricina, with the aid of an aqueous solution of hydroxide of calcium, or still reach higher temperatures to make the disintoxication without a chemical treatment. It was made a bibliographical research about known processes of disintoxication of the castor oil plant pie from the autoclave use to the drying direct exposure to the sun. Starting from the state of the art and identification of the object, it was chosen solar dryers to eliminate the ricina. It was applied two types of solar dryers: the one of solar direct exposure, and the one with concentrador. The castor oil plant pie was separated in samples, with measurement of its initial mass, codified and placed in the dryers. The results were presented in graphs and tables forms, with the values of temperatures noticed. It was noticed the variations of temperature and the relationships analyzed related with the ricina content eliminated from the pie. The analysis of the ricina content was accomplished by Embrapa - Campina Grande, by eletroforese method. The analysis of the result of considering the content of ricina of the samples. It was observed that, we obtained lower rate of ricina in samples that had larger drying time and average value temperature above 60ºC. Comparing with the ones submitted to higher temperatures and in a shorter period of time. It was possible to evaluate the efficiency of the dryers in the desintoxication process of the samples, as well as the type of more appropriate dryer for the drying pie process. Finally, it was concluded that the solar dryer with concentrador presents higher values temperatures than the direct exposure one. So, it´s being more opportune applied in the castor oil plant pie drying process. However, more than one hour for drying time is needed

Neste trabalho estudamos o comportamento das estrelas pertencentes a sistemas planetários no que diz respeito às suas características infravermelho e à distribuição espectral de energia (SED). Nosso estudo tem como base uma análise detalhada do comportamento da emissão no infravermelho de 48 estrelas com planetas, classificadas como estrelas da seqüência principal, subgigantes ou gigantes. Foram analisados dados de fotometria infravermelho nas bandas 12, 25 e 60µm do catálogo de fontes IRAS puntiformes (IPSC) e nas bandas JHK do projeto 2 Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS). A partir do cálculo da discrepância na posição de apontamento da fonte e do cálculo do índice de cor, selecionamos e localizamos os objetos no diagrama de cor-cor do IRAS. Este diagrama permite-nos identificar possíveis objetos detentores de disco de poeira. Fizemos também uma análise da distribuição espectral de energia onde observamos também traços de excesso de fluxo no infravermelho, com isso, confirmarmos a presença do disco de poeira nos objetos identificados no diagrama de cor. Apesar da atual amostra de estrelas com planetas incluir apenas um subconjunto de estrelas com planetas detectadas na vizinhança solar, a presente análise do fluxo infravermelho nesses objetos oferecem uma possibilidade única de estudar as características infravermelho das estrelas pertencentes aos sistemas planetários extra-solar. Neste contexto, nosso estudo aponta resultados interessantes, entre outros destacamos o fato de algumas estrelas com planetas apresentarem um peculiar fluxo IRAS [60-25], indicando a co-existência de poeira juntamente com os planetas destes sistemas extra solar
