Foram obtidos perfis tubulares porosos de polietileno (PE) e de polietileno/fibra de açaí (PE/PA) 80/20 extrudados a partir de partículas granuladas de polietileno de alta densidade reciclado de embalagens pós-consumo de 600 μm, e deste com fibra de açaí de 300 μm. Para o processamento das peças foi desenvolvida uma extrusora mono-rosca de bancada, com sistema mecânico acionado por um motor elétrico de ½ CV (0,37 kw) controlado por um inversor de freqüência, com canhões, roscas, matriz e sistema de aquecimento substituíveis. Para permitir uma visualização didática de condições de operação do equipamento de modo simplificado foram realizados testes com parafina em canhão de vidro variando-se a velocidade de rotação do parafuso e perfil de temperatura, ajustando vazão mássica e pressão na saída. Para a extrusão dos perfis porosos foram realizados ensaios reológicos de PE e PE/FA sendo selecionado rosca, barril e matriz de alumínio; rosca com passo de 9 mm e relação comprimento diâmetro (L/D) 22, composta de um elemento misturador e um elemento de flutuação na zona de controle de vazão; ângulo entre o filete e o eixo da rosca 17º, folga entre a rosca e o barril 0,15 mm; rotação de 1,3 rpm; aquecimento ao longo do canhão de 120ºC; matriz tubular com 21 mm de diâmetro interno e mandril de 19 mm de diâmetro externo. Os perfis PE e PE/FA apresentaram poros com diâmetros médios de 0,7 e 0,6 mm; densidade relativa à água a 28ºC de 0,77 e 0,73; módulo de elasticidade de 1,002 e 2,601 GPa e máximo inchamento aparente do extrudado de 100 e 80%.

O presente estudo descreve a dieta da espécie Hemigrammus belottii (Characiformes: Characidae) coletados na bacia do Rio Urucu no município de Coari, Amazonas, (Brasil), buscando responder o seguinte questionamento: Qual a influência dos períodos hidrológicos (seco e chuvoso) e da distribuição espacial na dieta de H. belottii? Os espécimes tiveram seus estômagos retirados e os itens alimentares pesados e identificados para posteriores análises relacionadas à intensidade alimentar, pelo Índice de Repleção (IR%) e pelo índice de importância alimentar (IAi%). Foi analisado um total de 227 espécimes, com comprimento padrão médio de 16,54 mm ± 5,6 mm. Baseado no IR% verificou-se para H. belottii uma maior intensidade alimentar durante o período da seca. A dieta da espécie foi composta predominantemente pelos itens Formicidae (IAi% = 69,6), fragmento de exoesqueleto alóctone (IAi% = 17,7) e Coleoptera (IAi% = 6,0), com sua composição se mostrando independente de períodos hidrológicos e de sua distribuição espacial, que pode ser atribuído à alta disponibilidade de itens alimentares utilizados pela espécie durante o ano todo. De um modo geral H. belottii evidenciou um hábito alimentar insetívoro generalista, com predomínio de itens de origem alóctone.

Esta pesquisa apresenta o estudo comparativo de reatores anaeróbio de fluxo ascendente e manta de lodo (UASB) e tanque séptico (TS), a fim de investigar a utilização destes reatores em escala unifamiliar no tratamento de esgotos domiciliares. A pesquisa foi realizada em comunidade quilombola próxima a cidade de Belém- PA. Para isto, foram utilizados oito reatores UASB (em forma de “Y”.) e um tanque séptico prismático de câmara única. Os reatores UASB possuíam volume de 0,42 m3, enquanto que o tanque séptico volume de 4,20 m3. Cada reator foi instalado em um domicilio, sendo alimentados exclusivamente por esgoto negro (água, fezes e urina) oriundo dos vasos sanitários dos banheiros. Foi analisada a viabilidade técnica da utilização do primeiro em substituição ao segundo, tendo em vista que o TS é amplamente utilizado em locais do Brasil desprovidos de redes coletoras de esgoto. As operações foram realizadas simultaneamente durante aproximadamente 90 semanas, sendo monitorados parâmetros que possibilitaram a análise da estabilidade operacional e do desempenho de cada reator. Ao final da pesquisa foi observado que os reatores UASB apresentaram desempenho tão satisfatório ou melhor que o do TS no tratamento da matéria orgânica e de sólidos em suspensão. Com isso, ficou evidenciada a viabilidade da aplicação do reator UASB utilizado no tratamento unifamiliar de esgotos de pequenas comunidades rurais.

The objective of the present article is to assess and compare the performance of electricity generation systems integrated with downdraft biomass gasifiers for distributed power generation. A model for estimating the electric power generation of internal combustion engines and gas turbines powered by syngas was developed. First, the model determines the syngas composition and the lower heating value; and second, these data are used to evaluate power generation in Otto, Diesel, and Brayton cycles. Four synthesis gas compositions were tested for gasification with: air; pure oxygen; 60% oxygen with 40% steam; and 60% air with 40% steam. The results show a maximum power ratio of 0.567 kWh/Nm(3) for the gas turbine system, 0.647 kWh/Nm(3) for the compression ignition engine, and 0.775 kWh/Nm(3) for the spark-ignition engine while running on synthesis gas which was produced using pure oxygen as gasification agent. When these three systems run on synthesis gas produced using atmospheric air as gasification agent, the maximum power ratios were 0.274 kWh/Nm(3) for the gas turbine system, 0.302 kWh/Nm(3) for CIE, and 0.282 kWh/Nm(3) for SIE. The relationship between power output and synthesis gas flow variations is presented as is the dependence of efficiency on compression ratios. Since the maximum attainable power ratio of CIE is higher than that of SIE for gasification with air, more research should be performed on utilization of synthesis gas in CIE. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Oil is a hydrocarbon mixture of various sizes, including saturated and aromatic compounds. Natural gas is a mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons and its main component is methane. In our society, the great demand for these fuels requires fast extraction, transportation and refining, increasing the number of accidents that compromise the environment. Oil is a finite resource and it is necessary to reduce the problems related to the question concerning environmental pollution which has encouraged the search for alternative fuel sources in our country. So today we have two major biofuels: ethanol and biodiesel. Concurrently, many studies have been done directed toward the isolation of microorganisms capable of degrading petrochemical industrial wastes, most of them using as a source of isolation soil and water collected in a contaminated environment. Isolation from alternative substrates has emerged as a new strategy that has provided satisfactory results. In this work, we present the leaf-cutter ants of the Attini tribe as a source for the isolation of micro-fungi with the potential for hydrocarbon degradation. These insects have a social way of life and a highly specialized system of intra and interspecific communication, which is based on the recognition of individuals through volatile chemical compounds, the majority hydrocarbons, stored in their exoskeleton. The micro-environment exoskeleton of Attini ants (genus Atta) used in this work proved to be a rich source of microbial biodiversity, as other studies have found. The flotation isolation technique applied here allowed the achievement of 214 micro-fungi, 118 representatives of the dematiaceous fungi group and 96 hyaline filamentous fungi. They were submitted to toluene degradation tests and at least one strain of each genus presented good results, namely Teratosphaeria, Exophiala, Cladosporium, Penicillium, Aspergillus...

The cylinder head contains the combustion chamber for the air-fuel mixture and the intake and exhaust valves, the valve guide and the valve seat. The cylinder head also is a support for the camshaft and valve rocker. The holes where the spark plugs are connected are designed to fit the better place in the combustion chamber. The cylinder heads often are manufactured using materials such as aluminum and cast iron. The cooling fins located in the outside of the cylinder head are designed for a good heat transfer and therefore their dimensions and positioning are important. This work aims the calculation for a cylinder head to be installed in a 400 cc displacement, gasoline powered, four stroke, single cylinder engine. According to the displacement it will be analyzed the combustion chamber, the intake and exhaust valves, as well as the camshaft and rocker arms.
