Efeito de diferentes níveis de energia e de programas de alimentação sobre o desempenho de frangos de corte abatidos tardiamente

O experimento foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar diferentes níveis de energia metabolizável e de programas de alimentação sobre o desempenho de frangos de corte no período de 42 a 57 dias de idade. Foram utilizados 1.600 pintos machos da linhagem Cobb, em um delineamento inteiramente ao acaso, em esquema fatorial 2 x 4, composto de dois níveis de energia (3.200 e 3.600 kcal EM/kg) e quatro programas de alimentação (recomendações de aminoácidos). As aves foram alimentadas com ração à base de milho e farelo de soja até os 41 dias de idade, quando foram pesadas, homogeneizadas e separadas por tratamento, dando-se início ao fornecimento das rações experimentais. Foram avaliados dados de ganho de peso, consumo de ração e conversão alimentar ao final de cada período experimental, a conversão calórica e o índice de eficiência produtiva para todo o período experimental. O nível de 3.600 kcal EM/kg melhorou o desempenho das aves, mas o fracionamento das exigências de aminoácidos digestíveis em dois períodos piorou os resultados. O desempenho no período de 50 a 57 dias de idade indicou que o abate tardio deve ser antecipado em uma semana, pois, após os 49 dias de idade, ocorre piora na conversão alimentar.

Automação da detecção de fraudes em sistemas de medição de energia elétrica utilizando lógica fuzzy em ambiente SCADA

This works presents a proposal to make automatic the identification of energy thefts in the meter systems through Fuzzy Logic and supervisory like SCADA. The solution we find by to collect datas from meters at customers units: voltage, current, power demand, angles conditions of phasors diagrams of voltages and currents, and taking these datas by fuzzy logic with expert knowledge into a fuzzy system. The parameters collected are computed by fuzzy logic, in engineering alghorithm, and the output shows to user if the customer researched may be consuming electrical energy without to pay for it, and these feedbacks have its own membership grades. The value of this solution is a need for reduce the losses that already sets more than twenty per cent. In such a way that it is an expert system that looks for decision make with assertivity, and it looks forward to find which problems there are on site and then it wont happen problems of relationship among the utility and the customer unit. The database of an electrical company was utilized and the datas from it were worked by the fuzzy proposal and algorithm developed and the result was confirmed

Remoção de hidrocarbonetos do gás natural visando o ajuste do índice de metano

The use of the natural gas is growing year after year in the whole world and also in Brazil. It is verified that in the last five years the profile of natural gas consumption reached a great advance and investments had been carried through in this area. In the oil industry, the use of the natural gas for fuel in the drive of engines is usual for a long date. It is also used to put into motion equipment, or still, to generate electric power. Such engines are based on the motor cycle of combustion Otto, who requires a natural gas with well definite specification, conferring characteristic anti-detonating necessary to the equipment performance for projects based on this cycle. In this work, process routes and thermodynamic conditions had been selected and evaluated. Based on simulation assays carried out in commercial simulators the content of the methane index of the effluent gas were evaluated at various ranges of pressure, temperature, flowrate, molecular weight and chemical nature and composition of the absorbent. As final result, it was established a route based on process efficiency, optimized consumption of energy and absorbent. Thereby, it serves as base for the compact equipment conception to be used in locu into the industry for the removal of hydrocarbon from the natural gas produced

Desenvolvimento de um reator fotoquímico aplicável no tratamento de efluentes fenólicos presentes na indústria do petróleo

With water pollution increment at the last years, so many progresses in researches about treatment of contaminated waters have been developed. In wastewaters containing highly toxic organic compounds, which the biological treatment cannot be applied, the Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) is an alternative for degradation of nonbiodegradable and toxic organic substances, because theses processes are generation of hydroxyl radical based on, a highly reactivate substance, with ability to degradate practically all classes of organic compounds. In general, the AOP request use of special ultraviolet (UV) lamps into the reactors. These lamps present a high electric power demand, consisting one of the largest problems for the application of these processes in industrial scale. This work involves the development of a new photochemistry reactor composed of 12 low cost black light fluorescent lamps (SYLVANIA, black light, 40 W) as UV radiation source. The studied process was the photo-Fenton system, a combination of ferrous ions, hydrogen peroxide, and UV radiation, it has been employed for the degradation of a synthetic wastewater containing phenol as pollutant model, one of the main pollutants in the petroleum industry. Preliminary experiments were carrier on to estimate operational conditions of the reactor, besides the effects of the intensity of radiation source and lamp distribution into the reactor. Samples were collected during the experiments and analyzed for determining to dissolved organic carbon (DOC) content, using a TOC analyzer Shimadzu 5000A. The High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) was also used for identification of the cathecol and hydroquinone formed during the degradation process of the phenol. The actinometry indicated 9,06⋅1018 foton⋅s-1 of photons flow, for 12 actived lamps. A factorial experimental design was elaborated which it was possible to evaluate the influence of the reactants concentration (Fe2+ and H2O2) and to determine the most favorable experimental conditions ([Fe2+] = 1,6 mM and [H2O2] = 150,5 mM). It was verified the increase of ferrous ions concentration is favorable to process until reaching a limit when the increase of ferrous ions presents a negative effect. The H2O2 exhibited a positive effect, however, in high concentrations, reaching a maximum ratio degradation. The mathematical modeling of the process was accomplished using the artificial neural network technique

Análise dos Processos de Flotação e Oxidação Avançada para o Tratamento de Efluente Modelo da Indústria do Petróleo

The generation of wastes in most industrial process is inevitable. In the petroleum industry, one of the greatest problems for the environment is the huge amount of produced water generated in the oil fields. This wastewater is a complex mixture and present great amounts. These effluents can be hazardous to the environmental without adequate treatment. This research is focused in the analysis of the efficiencies of the flotation and photo-oxidation processes to remove and decompose the organic compounds present in the produced water. A series of surfactants derivated from the laurilic alcohol was utilized in the flotation to promote the separation. The experiments have been performed with a synthetic wastewater, carefully prepared with xylene. The experimental data obtained using flotation presented a first order kinetic, identified by the quality of the linear data fitting. The best conditions were found at 0.029 g.L-1 for the surfactant EO 7, 0.05 g.L-1 for EO 8, 0.07 g.L-1 for EO 9, 0.045 g.L-1 for EO 10 and 0.08 g.L-1 for EO 23 with the following estimated kinetic constants: 0.1765, 0.1325, 0.1210, 0.1531 and 0.1699 min-1, respectively. For the series studied, the most suitable surfactant was the EO 7 due to the lower reagent onsumption, higher separation rate constant and higher removal efficiency of xylene in the aqueous phase (98%). Similarly to the flotation, the photo-Fenton process shows to be efficient for degradation of xylene and promoting the mineralization of the organic charge around 90% and 100% in 90 min

Balanço energético de um forno túnel de cerâmica estrutural convertido de lenha para gás natural

In energy systems, the balance of entrances, exits and losses are fundamental to rationalize the energy consumption, independently of the source (sun, natural gas, wind, water, firewood or oil). This estimate is important so much in the phase of project of the facilities, as in the exploration or operation. In the project phase it indicates the energy needs of the process and the contribution of the energy in the cost of the product and the capacity of storage of the fuel and in the operation phase it allows to evaluate the use of the energy in the process of it burns, showing the weak points that should suffer intervention to improve the efficiency. With this tool, it can be implemented routines of calculation of thermal balances in ovens of it burns of structural ceramic, in way to generate an optimized mathematical model for application in the current and promising structural ceramic brazilian industry. The ceramic oven in study is located in the metropolitan area of Natal (Rio Grande do Norte) and it is a continuous oven of the type wagons tunnel, converted of firewood for natural gas and it produces blocks of red ceramic. The energy balance was applied in the oven tunnel before and after the conversion and made the comparisons of the energy efficiencies (it burns to the firewood and it burns to natural gas), what showed that the gaseous fuel is more efficient when we burn structural ceramic in ovens tunnels. When we burn natural gas, the requested energy is smaller and better used. Tests were accomplished in the burned product that showed the best quality of the burned brick with natural gas. That quality improvement makes possible to accomplish new interventions for the most rational use of the energy in the oven tunnel of the Ceramic in study and in the industries of structural ceramic of the whole Brazil, that need control tools of burning and of quality

Arte, Indústria Cultural e educação

A necessidade, cada vez mais crescente, da busca de felicidade tem feito com que as pessoas se deixem influenciar pelo consumo desmedido dos produtos ofertados pela Indústria Cultural, fazendo da arte, de modo especial, da música, um meio de tornar-se igual sem perceber que estão se colocando à margem de sua própria cultura. Neste sentido, é necessário repensar quais são as contribuições da educação no intuito de formar para a emancipação e para a resistência, segundo as concepções adornianas.

O uso da abordagem CTSA para o ensino de energia tendo o desenvolvimento sustentável como eixo temático

In recent decades, humanity has become increasingly concerned with environmental problems. Proofs of this are increasing initiatives in civil society organizations, private institutions and government actions, either local, state or national actions to promote environmental protection. The goal of this research is to contribute to the formation of citizens more aware of their responsibilities to sustainable development issues, simultaneously to their learning of physics in the secondary school. Thus, we have designed a research project that aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the adoption of the concept of sustainable development as a central theme in physics classes in high school. From this goal, we designed, implemented and evaluate lesson plans that aim not only to construct and apply the concept of energy, but also to understand their transformations and conservation law, as well as their processes of production, distribution and consume in the context of physical laws in which it is involved. Then, it was deliberately provided to students, during classes, to read, interpret and produce texts, by this way being able to think and start to have a critical view of the world around him, as well as absorb the energy concept and understand his occurrence in phenomena of nature and in technologies. The approach used for this was that constraining science, technology, society and environment - STSE. This teaching methodology has been applied in the IFRN Ipanguaçu campus, for students of two classes of first year of high school integrated course in agroecology and in technical computing. The survey results show the effectiveness of both methods with respect to the viewpoints of students in relation to the guidelines of sustainable development and the learning of physics content proposed. It is hoped with this dissertation to contribute to the formation of future men and women as citizens environmentally friendly, but also as a source of inspiration for teachers who wish to foster in its students such a critical position about civic education, from their classes

Efeitos da energia da dieta sobre desempenho, rendimento de carcaça e gordura abdominal de frangos de corte

Um experimento foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar o efeito do nível de energia da dieta sobre desempenho, rendimento de carcaça e porcentagem de gordura abdominal de frangos de corte. Foram utilizados 2400 pintos de um dia da linhagem Ross 308, criados em boxes até 42 dias de idade. O delineamento experimental adotado foi o inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial 6 x 2 (energia x sexo). Os tratamentos consistiram de combinações de seis níveis de energia (2.900, 2.960, 3.020, 3.080, 3.140 e 3.200 kcal EM/kg) e dos sexos, com quatro repetições de 50 aves cada. No período de 1 a 42 dias de idade, houve redução no consumo de ração e melhora na conversão alimentar à medida que se aumentou o nível de energia da ração. Os machos apresentaram melhores resultados de desempenho que as fêmeas, exceto para mortalidade. À medida que se acrescentou energia na dieta, houve efeito linear na porcentagem de gordura abdominal e no rendimento de asas, mas não houve efeito sobre o rendimento de carcaça e das demais partes. Os machos apresentaram maiores porcentagens de pernas e de carne de pernas e menores de carne de peito e de gordura abdominal que as fêmeas.

Energia metabolizável e lisina digestível para suínos na fase de crescimento, criados em condições de segregação sanitária

Em dois ensaios simultâneos avaliou-se níveis de energia metabolizável (EM) e de lisina digestível (LIS) para suínos de linhagem específica, na fase de crescimento, criados em condições de isolamento sanitário. Foram utilizados 72 machos castrados com 23,34 ± 1,62 kg e 72 marrãs com 21,56 ± 2,86 kg. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados, em esquema fatorial 2 x 3, com seis repetições e dois animais por unidade experimental. Os tratamentos decorreram da combinação dos fatores em (3.270 e 3.500 kcal/kg de ração) e LIS (0,83; 1,03 e 1,23%). Não houve interação dos fatores, mas foram constatados efeitos principais de em e LIS sobre as variáveis de desempenho. Os machos castrados apresentaram respostas diferenciadas aos níveis crescentes de lisina dietética, com aumento linear no ganho em peso, enquanto no consumo de ração e na conversão alimentar ocorreu respostas quadráticas. As marrãs apresentaram redução linear na conversão alimentar em resposta à elevação da concentração de lisina na dieta. Criados com separação de sexo e em condições desejáveis de saúde, na fase de crescimento, suínos machos castrados e marrãs da linhagem genética estudada, responderam eficientemente ao acréscimo de lisina digestível nas dietas. Os benefícios dietéticos da lisina no desempenho dos machos castrados não dependeram dos níveis estudados de energia. Nas marrãs, a melhor conversão alimentar foi obtida com dietas de 3.500 kcal EM, caracterizando a maior eficiência na utilização dos nutrientes para as necessidades de desempenho, em comparação aos machos castrados.
