The main contribution from this paper includes the hydrodynamic modeling and morphological analysis of Lake Água Preta in Belém city, Pará State, Brazil. The lake bathymetry was taken through the data provided by COSANPA (the local sanitation and water supply company) dating back to 1975, and from a 2009 field study. Both bathymetries produced two terrain elevation models, which were used for morphological analysis and hydrodynamic simulations. The morphological analysis has revealed that, from 1975 to 2009, the annual mean rate of sedimentation varies between 23,065 and 29,081 m3/year. Through this result, the sedimentation time of Lake Água Preta, from 2009, has been calculated, which varies between 295 and 381 years, maintaining the same rate of sedimentation, water consumption and pumping. The hydrodynamic model simulated the depths and velocities, showing a slight flow with velocities ranging from 0 to 33 cm/s. This flow is established between water input and output of the lake, which is used as reservoir of Belém city.

O presente trabalho vem apresentar um modelo de simulação computacional com propósito de resolver o problema do balanceamento de linhas de produção de uma fábrica de cerâmica vermelha, pertencente ao polo oleiro-cerâmico de São Miguel do Guamá. Neste sentido, inicialmente é realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica acerca dos sistemas de eventos discretos, dos métodos de solução para balanceamento de linhas e dos conceitos envolvendo a modelagem e simulação. A metodologia aborda o estudo de caso, sendo este conduzido pelo método proposto por Chwif (1999) no qual abrange 03 (três) macros etapas na condução de um projeto de simulação, sejam a etapa de concepção, implementação e etapa de análise. Com o modelo computacional desenvolvido com base nas características atuais da linha de produção, pode-se descrever o estado atual do processo, identificar a operação gargalo bem como encaminhar propostas de melhorias a partir da construção de 03 cenários. Onde o terceiro cenário apresentou os melhores resultados e, portanto, sendo este o modelo representativo ao balanceamento. Ao final, entende-se como principais contribuições deste trabalho o fato de trazer para dentro da universidade a experiência da aplicação prática da simulação, envolvendo uma indústria de cerâmica vermelha de São Miguel do Guamá e oferecer a indústria desta região uma ferramenta potencial para melhoria de seus processos produtivos.

In this study, the flocculation process in continuous systems with chambers in series was analyzed using the classical kinetic model of aggregation and break-up proposed by Argaman and Kaufman, which incorporates two main parameters: K (a) and K (b). Typical values for these parameters were used, i. e., K (a) = 3.68 x 10(-5)-1.83 x 10(-4) and K (b) = 1.83 x 10(-7)-2.30 x 10(-7) s(-1). The analysis consisted of performing simulations of system behavior under different operating conditions, including variations in the number of chambers used and the utilization of fixed or scaled velocity gradients in the units. The response variable analyzed in all simulations was the total retention time necessary to achieve a given flocculation efficiency, which was determined by means of conventional solution methods of nonlinear algebraic equations, corresponding to the material balances on the system. Values for the number of chambers ranging from 1 to 5, velocity gradients of 20-60 s(-1) and flocculation efficiencies of 50-90 % were adopted.

The objective of this study was to develop a model that allows testing in the wind tunnel at high angles of attack and validates its most critical components by analyzing the results of simulations in finite element software. During the project this structure suffered major loads identified during the flight conditions and, from these, we calculated the stresses in critical regions defined as the parts of the model that have higher failure probabilities. All aspects associated with Load methods, mesh refining and stress analysis were taken into account in this approach. The selection of the analysis software was based on project needs, seeking greater ease of modeling and simulation. We opted for the software ANSYS® since the entire project is being developed in CAD platforms enabling a friendly integration between software's modeling and analysis
