This paper aims to create a flow control system of motor fuel-powered internal combustion for this purpose the project is based on the development of an electronic injection system incorporated by control devices, sensors and actuators as means main programming and receiving data is used a micro Arduino controller as data interface and a PC Personal joint Co associated with LabVIEW main processor and supervisory system element. In order to reduce the consumption of liquid fuel (petrol, alcohol, etc.) will be performed the control and treatment hydrogen gas flow embodying feasibility and efficiency related to the use of fuel cells for automotive vehicles. For achieving the desired effects will be developed appropriate programming to the controller device used where variables are captured, manipulated and returned in a controlled way the system should work stably. So it will be designed and developed a flow control system that will aim the joint dosing liquid and gaseous fuels in engines, controlled, treated and automatically, with the programming parameters the proper and efficient operation of the engine thus providing conclusions on the use of hydrogen fuel cells.

This paper aims to analyze the information about protection of technologies related to distributed generation (DG) of electric energy, available in the Brazilian patent bank, in the period between 2011 and 2020. Considering that the energy sector has strategic role for companies and countries, analyzing technological trends in the area can help management and decision making. As a methodological procedure, (1) data were collected from the national database of the Instituto Nacional de Propriedade Industrial - INPI (National Institute of Industrial Property) -- in July 2020, (2) associated with keywords and the Classificação Internacional de Patentes - IPC (International Patent Classification) for research and (3) treated with the aid of Microsoft Excel and IBM SPSS Statistics version 25 software. The variables found and analyzed were: nature of the patent; order status; international classification; year of filing; publication of request; countries of origin of depositors; main depositors; state of origin of depositors; electrical system structure; and types of energy sources. The results demonstrated that the number of patent filings fluctuated over the years; that there was a significant growth in the number of deposits in the years that normative resolution n° 482/2012, responsible for regularizing DG in Brazil, was published or revised and that most of the technologies deposited are intended for power generation, with emphasis on that use wind energy.

The Iranian nuclear program has been a source of apprehension and concern for some time. There are suspicions that Iran aims to use nuclear energy for military purposes, becoming an illegitimate nuclear power. Decades of sanctions and attempts of negotiation have not had satisfactory results. This paper aims to analyze the actual framework of the Iranian nuclear issue and argues that it reflects the controversies and difficulties of the nuclear nonproliferation regime.

ABSTRACT This paper presents a new approach to properly estimate energy consumption inside a greenhouse. In this study, we have adopted improved classical modelling to evaluate the energy balance of a greenhouse with a higher precision. While the traditional classical model focuses mainly on the cooling and heating (and denies the deep influence of lighting factors), we demonstrate the importance of considering these three necessary components as being interdependent through this academic study; they should all be integrated in order to reach optimal crop production and efficient energy consumption. Our contribution will be to improve the traditional classical model and to demonstrate that daylight, as well as artificial lighting, has fundamental consequences on the estimating of the required energy consumption and the choice of the optimal shape and coverage material of the greenhouse.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the energy efficiency of conventional and organic maize production systems in production units of Far West region of Santa Catarina, Brazil. The results of case study showed that the production of conventional and transgenic hybrids has intensive use of inputs and achieve greater productivity compared with the organic system. The conversion of inputs into energy showed low energy efficiency. With different levels of mechanization and technology adoption, the main factor responsible for the input energy is the use of nitrogen fertilizers chemical synthesis. The areas with organic production systems present higher energy efficient, being conducted only on a small scale and achieving average productivity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a comparative study between stainless steel and titanium meshes to be used as cathodes, aiming at high metal recovery rates and good energetic performance. Statistical tools were used in order to identify the significant variables in the electrolytic recovery of gold, silver and copper and cyanide oxidation from gold mining wastewaters. For a synthetic solution containing respectively 0.5 mg/L gold, 7.5 mg/L silver, 150 mg/L copper and 150 mg/L free cyanide, after 180 minutes of electrolysis. Using stainless steel cathodes copper and silver removals of 99.6% and 95.5%, respectively, were obtained besides the complete removal of gold. With titanium cathodes under the same conditions, the copper recovery was 99.3%, and a complete removal of gold and silver was obtained. In both cases, the oxidation of cyanide is close to 99%. The average specific energy consumption obtained for the titanium cathode is 66.19 kWh/kg of metal, while for stainless steel as 88.29 kWh/kg. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Biodiesel from beef tallow has been considered a low-cost and high availability alternative due to be residue from the Brazilian livestock production, one of the world's largest. Papers that show the use of biodiesel from beef tallow in diesel engine are rare. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of blend of biodiesel from beef tallow (B5) in commercial diesel oil on engine performance, analyzing possible internal consequences and characteristics of lubricating oil after the prolonged use in a diesel engine. Engine performance was evaluated through tractor power take off (PTO) tests. The engine was operated for 600 hours. Power and fuel consumption were measured. Samples of lubricating oil were analyzed by the end of each 100 partial hours. At the end of the test the engine was opened and visually inspected. Analysis of engine lubricating oil has showed critical level of contamination after 400 hours but the visual inspection of engine did not detect any internal wear. The engine performance was satisfactory although there was tendency of reduction in power and increase on fuel consumption along the 600 hours. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the history of actions taken byArcelorMittal Monlevade that contributed to the blast furnace A reaching the national record of use of small coke in the fuel rate in 2008. In parallel, the reduction of the total consumption of metallurgical coke has achieved one of the best values in the national steel industry. This study was evaluated using an analysis of the beginning of operations of the blast furnace A, using low level of small coke in the fuel rate, associated with a coke + small coke balance in the Monlevade plant and with the actions of the control process developed over the time. The results showed a higher consumption of small coke in the charge, decreasing consumption of a coarse metallurgical coke and a better working stability of the blast furnace A. These results lead in productivity increasing and reducing the coke rate of the blast furnace A in the recent years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper describes the latest big Consteel® applications around the world and the perspectives of utilization of this recognized technology on the recovery of the growth of the Brazilian Steel Industry, with particular attention to the utilization of hot metal as main part of the charging mix. The Consteel® EAF process represents the extension of the advantages of continuous charge feeding and melting process - typical of EAFs charged with 100% DRI - to the charging of scrap. This with the additional benefit of an "environmentally friendly" preheating of the charge help the reducing energy requirements of the process. Moreover the possibility of injecting oxygen for 100% of the power-on time makes the Consteel® process the best option for taking most of the advantages coming from hot metal charging in an EAF. Process details and technological peculiarities of this particular type of operation are described. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
