Caracterização das propriedades de fluxo da lama vermelha para fins de dimensionamento de silos: aplicação para tremonhas cônicas

Um dos fatores que afetam o fluxo de produtos sólidos em silos é o teor de umidade, o qual se destaca por favorecer a formação de arcos coesivos. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho focou a determinação das propriedades de fluxo do produto lama vermelha e sua classificação quanto à sua escoabilidade em função da variação do teor de umidade. Tendo os teores de umidade influência no escoamento em tremonhas cônicas revestidas de chapas metálicas lisas e UHMW (Polietileno de Ultra Alto Peso Molecular). Nesse intuito se utilizou o aparelho de cisalhamento direto “Jenike Shear Cell”, juntamente com três superfícies (acrílico, metálica e de UHMW) de parede. Para determinar o fator de fluxo da tremonha e o ângulo de inclinação com a horizontal, recorreu-se a metodologia gráfica proposta por Jenike para fluxo mássico. E na determinação do diâmetro mínimo da moega, aplicaram-se as equações propostas por Jenike e Enstad. Verificou-se que a lama vermelha é coesiva e possui fluxo do tipo difícil, com pouca variação para os teores de umidades estudados. A rugosidade das paredes testadas teve uma suave influência na inclinação da tremonha. Enquanto os resultados do diâmetro da moega sofreram variação em relação aos níveis de umidade analisados para a lama vermelha. A partir das observações feitas para o escoamento no silo modelo de acrílico se verificou que a medida que se eleva o teor de umidade mais difícil se torna o fluxo do produto lama vermelha.

CHARACTERIZATION OF A AISI/SAE 4340 STEEL IN DIFFERENT MICROSTRUCTURAL CONDITIONS

The 4340 are classified as ultra-high strength steels used by the aviation industry and aerospace applications such as aircraft landing gear and several structural applications, usually in quenched and tempered condition. In this situation occurs reduction of toughness, which encourages the study of multiphasic and bainitic structures, in order to maintain strength without loss of toughness. In this study, ferritic-pearlitic structure was compared to bainitic and martensitic structure, identified by the reagents Nital, LePera and Sodium Metabisulfite. Sliding wear tests of the type pin-on-disk were realized and the results related to the microstructure of these materials and also to their hardnesses. It is noted that these different microstructures had very similar behavior, concluding that all three tested pairs can be used according to the request level.

The steel type AISI 4130 (ultra-high strength steel) is an alloy of low carbon and its main alloying elements are chromium and molybdenum, which improves the toughness of the weld metal. It has numerous applications, especially where the need for high mechanical strength. It is widely used in equipment used by the aviation industry, such as cradle-tomotor, and this is the motivation for this study. Cots are of fundamental importance, because the engine supports and maintains balance in the fixed landing gear. This equipment is subjected to intense loading cycles, whose fractures caused by fatigue are constantly observed. Will be determined the effects caused by re-welding the structure of aeronautical equipment, and will also study the microstructure of the metal without welding. The studies will be done on materials used in aircraft, which was given to study. The results provide knowledge of microstructure to evaluate any type of fracture that maybe caused by fatigue. Fatigue is a major cause of aircraft accidents and incidents occurred, which makes the study of the microstructure of the metal, weld and re-solder the knowledge essential to the life of the material. The prevention and control of the process of fatigue in aircraft are critical, since the components are subjected to greater responsibility cyclic loading

Maximizing the utility of bio-based diisocyanate and chain extenders in crystalline segmented thermoplastic polyester urethanes: effect of polymerization protocol

High molecular weight semi crystalline thermoplastic poly(ester urethanes), TPEUs, were prepared from a vegetable oil-based diisocyanate, aliphatic diol chain extenders and poly(ethylene adipate) macro diol using one-shot, pre-polymer and multi-stage polyaddition methods. The optimized polymerization reaction achieved ultra-high molecular weight TPEUs (>2 million as determined by GPC) in a short time, indicating a very high HPMDI diol reactivity. TPEUs with very well controlled hard segment (HS) and soft segment (SS) blocks were prepared and characterized with DSC, TGA, tensile analysis, and WAXD in order to reveal structure property relationships. A confinement effect that imparts elastomeric properties to otherwise thermoplastic TPEUs was revealed. The confinement extent was found to vary predictably with structure indicating that one can custom engineer tougher polyurethane elastomers by "tuning" soft segment crystallinity with suitable HS block structure. Generally, the HPMDI-based TPEUs exhibited thermal stability and mechanical properties comparable to entirely petroleum-based TPEUs. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Experimental evidence for the sensitivity of the air-shower radio signal to the longitudinal shower development

We observe a correlation between the slope of radio lateral distributions and the mean muon pseudorapidity of 59 individual cosmic-ray-air-shower events. The radio lateral distributions are measured with LOPES, a digital radio interferometer colocated with the multidetector-air-shower array KASCADE-Grande, which includes a muon-tracking detector. The result proves experimentally that radio measurements are sensitive to the longitudinal development of cosmic-ray air showers. This is one of the main prerequisites for using radio arrays for ultra-high-energy particle physics and astrophysics.
