Óleo de carpa (cyprinus carpio): obtenção, refino e produção de concentração de ácidos graxos poliinsaturados

O objetivo do presente trabalho foi analisar as características e os perfis lipídicos dos óleos brutos e refinados de rejeitos de carpa comum (Cyprinus carpio), obtidos através dos processos de ensilagem ácida e termomecânico de farinha de pescado. Também foram realizados o estudo da reação de alcoólise química do óleo de carpa e obtenção de concentrados de concentrados de ácidos graxos poliinsaturados (PUFAs), através da reação de complexação com uréia. O rendimento obtido em óleo bruto para ambos os processos foi em torno de 85% em relação ao óleo presente nas vísceras de carpa. Os óleos brutos obtidos através do processo de ensilagem e do processo termomecânico apresentaram diferenças significantivas (P < 0,05) para ácidos graxos livres, índice de peróxido, valor do ácido tiobarbitúrico e cor Lovibond. Entretanto, os óleos refinados obtidos por ambos os processos não apresentaram diferença significativa para a cor Lovibond, ácidos graxos livres e valores do ácido tiobarbitúrico. Os principais ácidos graxos identificados nos óleos bruto, branqueado e refinado de vísceras de carpa foram oléico, palmítico, palmitoléico, linoléico e linolênico constituindo aproximadamente 69,6% dos ácidos graxo totais do óleo refinado. A relação ω3/ω6 foi de aproximadamente 1,05 para o óleo refinado. Assim, o óleo refinado das vísceras de carpa pode ser considerado uma rica fonte de ácidos graxos essenciais do grupo ω3 e ω6. No estudo da reação de alcoólise química e obtenção dos concentrados de ácidos graxos poliinsaturados, foi realizada a comparação de três tratamentos para reação de alcoólise variando-se a concentração molar óleo:álcool (1:21, 1:27 e 1:39). Os tratamentos apresentaram diferenças significativas para as respostas rendimento em massa de ácidos graxos livres e índice de acidez. O maior rendimento para a reação de alcoólise foi utilizando a concentração molar de 1:39 (óleo:álcool). Na fração não complexada com uréia obteve-se aumento percentual de ácidos graxos insaturados e poliinsaturados de 31,9%, redução de saturados de 75%, e aumento do conteúdo dos ácidos graxos eicosapentaenóico e docosahexaenóico (EPA+DHA) de 85,3%. A fração não complexada com uréia pode ser considerada uma rica fonte de ácidos graxos poliinsaturados e insaturados com um total de 88,9% desses ácidos graxos.

A numerical model for prediction of oil, trajectory due to extraction activity in the north coasts of the Persian Gulf

This thesis considers a three- dimensional numerical model based on 3-D Navier— Stokes and continuity equations involving various wind speeds (North west), water surface levels, horizontal shier stresses, eddy viscosity, densities of oil and gas condensate- water mixture flows. The model is used to simulate the prediction of the surface movement of oil and gas condensate slicks from spill accident in the north coasts of Persian Gulf.

Slot Film Cooling: A Comprehensive Experimental Characterization

When components of a propulsion system are exposed to elevated flow temperatures there is a risk for catastrophic failure if the components are not properly protected from the thermal loads. Among several strategies, slot film cooling is one of the most commonly used, yet poorly understood active cooling techniques. Tangential injection of a relatively cool fluid layer protects the surface(s) in question, but the turbulent mixing between the hot mainstream and cooler film along with the presence of the wall presents an inherently complex problem where kinematics, thermal transport and multimodal heat transfer are coupled. Furthermore, new propulsion designs rely heavily on CFD analysis to verify their viability. These CFD models require validation of their results, and the current literature does not provide a comprehensive data set for film cooling that meets all the demands for proper validation, namely a comprehensive (kinematic, thermal and boundary condition data) data set obtained over a wide range of conditions. This body of work aims at solving the fundamental issue of validation by providing high quality comprehensive film cooling data (kinematics, thermal mixing, heat transfer). 3 distinct velocity ratios (VR=uc/u∞) are examined corresponding to wall-wake (VR~0.5), min-shear (VR ~ 1.0), and wall-jet (VR~2.0) type flows at injection, while the temperature ratio TR= T∞/Tc is approximately 1.5 for all cases. Turbulence intensities at injection are 2-4% for the mainstream (urms/u∞, vrms/u∞,), and on the order of 8-10% for the coolant (urms/uc, vrms/uc,). A special emphasis is placed on inlet characterization, since inlet data in the literature is often incomplete or is of relatively low quality for CFD development. The data reveals that min-shear injection provides the best performance, followed by the wall-jet. The wall-wake case is comparably poor in performance. The comprehensive data suggests that this relative performance is due to the mixing strength of each case, as well as the location of regions of strong mixing with respect to the wall. Kinematic and thermal data show that strong mixing occurs in the wall-jet away from the wall (y/s>1), while strong mixing in the wall-wake occurs much closer to the wall (y/s<1). Min-shear cases exhibit noticeably weaker mixing confined to about y/s=1. Additionally to these general observations, the experimental data obtained in this work is analyzed to reveal scaling laws for the inlets, near-wall scaling, detecting and characterizing coherent structures in the flow as well as to provide data reduction strategies for comparison to CFD models (RANS and LES).

Advanced parametrical modelling of 24 GHz radar sensor IC packaging components

This paper deals with the development of an advanced parametrical modelling concept for packaging components of a 24 GHz radar sensor IC used in automotive driver assistance systems. For fast and efficient design of packages for system-in-package modules (SiP), a simplified model for the description of parasitic electromagnetic effects within the package is desirable, as 3-D field computation becomes inefficient due to the high density of conductive elements of the various signal paths in the package. By using lumped element models for the characterization of the conductive components, a fast indication of the design's signal-quality can be gained, but so far does not offer enough flexibility to cover the whole range of geometric arrangements of signal paths in a contemporary package. This work pursues to meet the challenge of developing a flexible and fast package modelling concept by defining parametric lumped-element models for all basic signal path components, e.g. bond wires, vias, strip lines, bumps and balls. © Author(s) 2011.

Aerosol transport in a bifurcating tube at cyclic flow

Branching tube flow is a common feature of many fields of science and technology, and occurs both in animate and inanimate systems [1]. The transport of aerosol particles is of particular importance in industrial flow networks but also for the respiratory tree [2]. In this analysis a 3-D numerical study is performed to investigate transport and deposition of aerosol particles in branching tubes. Bifurcation tubes designed according to Hess-Murray law [3] but with different branching angles are analyzed. This study covers cyclic flow conditions at frequencies of 0.25 Hz, 0.50 Hz and 0.75 Hz, Stokes numbers ranging between 0.03 and 0.25, and Reynolds numbers up to 3000.

Toppling Analysis of Precariously Balanced Rocks under Earthquake Excitation

Toppling analysis of a precariously balanced rock (PBR) can provide insights into the nature of ground motion that has not occurred at that location in the past and, by extension, realistic constraints on peak ground motions for use in engineering design. Earlier approaches have targeted simplistic 2-D models of the rock or modeled the rock-pedestal contact using spring-damper assemblies that require re-calibration for each rock. These analyses also assume that the rock does not slide on the pedestal. Here, a method to model PBRs in three dimensions is presented. The 3-D model is created from a point cloud of the rock, the pedestal, and their interface, obtained using Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS). The dynamic response of the model under earthquake excitation is simulated using a rigid body dynamics algorithm. The veracity of this approach is demonstrated by comparisons against data from shake table experiments. Fragility maps for toppling probability of the Echo Cliff PBR and the Pacifico PBR as a function of various ground motion parameters, rock-pedestal interface friction coefficient, and excitation direction are presented. The seismic hazard at these PBR locations is estimated using these maps. Additionally, these maps are used to assess whether the synthetic ground motions at these locations resulting from scenario earthquakes on the San Andreas Fault are realistic (toppling would indicate that the ground motions are unrealistically high).

Amazon forest structure generates diurnal and seasonal variability in light utilization.

The complex three-dimensional (3-D) structure of tropical forests generates a diversity of light environments for canopy and understory trees. Understanding diurnal and seasonal changes in light availability is critical for interpreting measurements of net ecosystem exchange and improving ecosystem models. Here, we used the Discrete Anisotropic Radiative Transfer (DART) model to simulate leaf absorption of photosynthetically active radiation (lAPAR) for an Amazon forest. The 3-D model scene was developed from airborne lidar data, and local measurements of leaf reflectance, aerosols, and PAR were used to model lAPAR under direct and diffuse illumination conditions. Simulated lAPAR under clear-sky and cloudy conditions was corrected for light saturation effects to estimate light utilization, the fraction of lAPAR available for photosynthesis. Although the fraction of incoming PAR absorbed by leaves was consistent throughout the year (0.80?0.82), light utilization varied seasonally (0.67?0.74), with minimum values during the Amazon dry season. Shadowing and light saturation effects moderated potential gains in forest productivity from increasing PAR during dry-season months when the diffuse fraction from clouds and aerosols was low. Comparisons between DART and other models highlighted the role of 3-D forest structure to account for seasonal changes in light utilization. Our findings highlight how directional illumination and forest 3-D structure combine to influence diurnal and seasonal variability in light utilization, independent of further changes in leaf area, leaf age, or environmental controls on canopy photosynthesis. Changing illumination geometry constitutes an alternative biophysical explanation for observed seasonality in Amazon forest productivity without changes in canopy phenology.
