Desenvolvimento e aplicaÃÃo de sistema de Floco-FlotaÃÃo por Ar Dissolvido para tratamento de Ãgua de lavagem do filtro da ETA GaviÃo / Development and application system of flake-Dissolved Air Flotation for treating wash water filterKarina Oliveira Chaves 20 July 2012 (has links)
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / No cenÃrio brasileiro, os resÃduos de EstaÃÃes de Tratamento de Ãgua (ETAs) sÃo
normalmente lanÃados in natura em corpos hÃdricos, apresentando-se como potencialmente
danosos ao meio ambiente, sendo necessÃrio tratÃ-los para que sejam descartados conforme os
aspectos legais. Estudos demonstram que a tecnologia da FlotaÃÃo por Ar Dissolvido (FAD)
tem sido viÃvel para este fim. Acredita-se que a incorporaÃÃo da floculaÃÃo em cortinas numa
mesma unidade de flotaÃÃo possa promover elevada eficÃcia ao sistema, traduzindo-se como
uma inovaÃÃo tecnolÃgica: o Floco-Flotador por Ar Dissolvido (FFAD). Uma unidade piloto
de FFAD foi construÃda para o tratamento da Ãgua de lavagem dos filtros da ETA GaviÃo,
pertencente à Companhia de Ãgua e Esgoto do Cearà (CAGECE). Esta pesquisa teve como
objetivo quantificar e verificar o atendimento da Ãgua de lavagem dos filtros (ALF) desta
ETA e da Ãgua clarificada via FFAD aos padrÃes de lanÃamento de efluentes conforme as
ResoluÃÃes n 430/11 e 357/05 do CONAMA e Portaria n 154/2002 da SEMACE. Estudos
de tratabilidade da ALF em Jartest foram realizados para avaliar a influÃncia da dosagem de
polÃmeros catiÃnicos e a viabilidade de gradientes de velocidade decrescente (35 a 5,6 s-1) a
serem empregados no equipamento de FFAD desenvolvido. Ensaios de flotaÃÃo foram
realizados a fim de avaliar a dosagem do polÃmero e os parÃmetros de processo como taxas de
recirculaÃÃo (TR) e taxas de aplicaÃÃo superficial (TAS). ApÃs definidos estes parÃmetros,
ensaios de FFAD foram realizados em triplicata para coleta da AC a fim de comparÃ-la com
os principais padrÃes de lanÃamento de efluente em corpos hÃdricos classe II. Somente os
parÃmetros pH, Fluoreto, AmÃnia, E. coli e SÃlidos dissolvidos da ALF atenderam aos
padrÃes de lanÃamento. Ao aplicar polÃmero a 1 mg.L-1, taxa de recirculaÃÃo de 15%,
gradientes de velocidade decrescente (19,3 a 5,6 s-1), taxa de aplicaÃÃo superficial de 57
m3.m-2.d-1 com tempo de detenÃÃo hidrÃulico de 22 minutos no FFAD, os resultados
alcanÃaram elevada eficiÃncia na remoÃÃo de turbidez (superior a 98%) mesmo enfrentando
variaÃÃes bruscas na qualidade da ALF (94,4 a 410 UT). Observou-se tambÃm significativa
eficiÃncia mÃdia na remoÃÃo de coliformes totais (98,5%), cor aparente (97,6%), DQO
(92,6%) e remoÃÃo de alumÃnio (84,1%). Diante destes resultados, constatou-se que a ALF da
ETA GaviÃo tratada via Floco-flotaÃÃo por ar dissolvido atendeu aos referidos padrÃes de
lanÃamento em corpos hÃdricos. / In Brazil the filter backwash wastewater is normally released in to the water resources
without proper treatment, representing a potential danger to the environment. Thus, it is
necessary to treat this wastewater in order to dispose it in accordance to federal and state
environmental laws. Studies show that Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) technology has been
feasible for this purpose. It is believed that the incorporation of flocculation in curtains and
air dissolved flotation system in the same unit can promote high efficiency and significant
size reduction, which translates in a technological innovation: the Floculator - Dissolved
Air Flotation (FFAD) unit. A FFAD pilot unit was built to evaluate the treatment of GaviÃo
Water Treatment Plant filter backwash wastewater, owned by the Water and Wastewater
Company of Cearà (CAGECE). This research had as main objective to quantify and verify
the compliance of the filter backwash wastewater parameters to the Resolution No. 430/11
and 357/05 of CONAMA and Ordinance No. 154/2002 of SEMACE. Treatability studies
were performed with filter backwash wastewater using Jartest to evaluate the influence of
cationic polymer dosages and the feasibility of decreasing flocculation velocity gradients
(35 to 5.6 s-1) in the FFAD. Experimental runs of the flocculation - flotation system were
performed to evaluate the best polymer dosage and the process parameters such as
recirculation rates (TR) and surface application rates (TAS). These parameters were
compared by observing the lower residual turbidity and best removal efficiency in the
clarified water (AC). The treated wastewater was again characterized using physicalchemical
and bacteriological parameters and compared to the specific legislation. The
results showed that the use of 1 mg.L-1 of polymer, recirculation rate of 15% and surface
application rate of 57 m3.m-2.d-1, presented the highest turbidity efficiency removal (>
98%) and a very stable performance against sudden changes in the influent quality (94.4 to
410UT). It should be noted that the unity showed also a high average efficiency total
coliforms removal (98.5%), apparent color removal (97.6%), DOC removal (92.6%), of
aluminum (84.1%) removal and turbidity (99.2 %) removal. Given these results, it was
concluded that the AC coming from the treatment of ALF by ETA WTP GaviÃo FFAD
met the discharge parameters listed for water resources.

Cortinas verdes na arquitetura : desempenho no controle solar e na eficiência energética de edificaçõesScherer, Minéia Johann January 2014 (has links)
As cortinas verdes caracterizam-se pelo plantio e desenvolvimento de uma vegetação trepadeira, com auxílio de suportes, posicionada em frente e afastada das superfícies verticais da edificação. Seu aspecto funcional mais relevante está associado à capacidade de proporcionar sombra, atuando como dispositivo de controle solar em arquitetura. Diferente dos sistemas convencionais, o uso da vegetação apresenta benefícios em termos de desempenho, na medida que responde de forma dinâmica às variações do clima e das estações, além de ser um elemento natural e de baixo impacto ambiental, o que vai ao encontro às premissas de uma arquitetura mais sustentável. Desta forma, o objetivo principal desta tese consiste no estudo da aplicabilidade das cortinas verdes como elemento de controle solar em arquitetura, com ênfase em sua contribuição para a eficiência energética de edificações, no contexto climático brasileiro.

A seguir, um estudo experimental foi conduzido, com vistas a gerar parâmetros médios sobre a capacidade de sombreamento de quatro diferentes espécies trepadeiras, determinando o Percentual de Transmissão Solar em cada mês, durante um ano de avaliação. Por fim, foram realizadas simulações computacionais de eficiência energética em uma edificação genérica de escritórios, utilizando os dados originados no experimento e comparando o desempenho das cortinas verdes com outros sistemas de sombreamento convencionais. Os resultados do experimento demonstraram o comportamento dinâmico e particular de cada espécie no que diz respeito à capacidade de proporcionar sombra, dependendo da época do ano e de suas características formais. Já quanto aos dados obtidos com as simulações, a maioria dos resultados foi favorável ao uso das cortinas verdes no controle solar da edificação, resultando em economia de energia para refrigeração ou aquecimento artificial, dependendo da região climática e da espécie considerada. Assim, as principais conclusões desta pesquisa estão relacionadas ao potencial positivo do uso das cortinas verdes em arquitetura, atendendo ao duplo propósito da funcionalidade e da expressão formal. As espécies de trepadeiras apropriadas dependerão de cada região, embora, de uma forma geral, as decíduas serão mais favoráveis em climas com estação quente e fria, enquanto as perenes serão mais adequadas para uso em edificações de climas com predomínio de altas temperaturas o ano todo. / Green curtains are characterized by planting and development of climbing vegetation, by the use of supports, positioned in front of vertical surfaces of a building and away from these.

Design of grout curtains under dams founded on rockZhang, Suihan January 2021 (has links)
Grouting has long been implemented as a ground improvement technique to reduce the seepage through the rock mass. Grout curtains are usually constructed under dams as a barrier to prevent leakage from the reservoir. So far, the grout curtains under dams have mainly been designed by using an empirical design approach. However, the empirical approach has its limitations. Generally, the usage of “rules of thumbs” makes the design highly dependent on the experience of the designers. Lack of experience can result in insufficient or over-conservative grout curtains. For example, the stop criteria for the grouting process adopted by the empirical approach can lead to long grouting time and thus becomes inefficient. In addition, high grouting pressure may cause unexpected deformations of the rock and open up new leakage paths. To deal with these limitations, a theory-based design methodology has been developed. Theories on rock grouting developed in recent decades are used to build up the design methodology. In the theory-based design methodology, the grout curtain is treated as a structural component in the dam foundation. The geometry and location of the grout curtain is first designed with respect to three requirements: (i) the hydraulic conductivity reduction, (ii) prevention of erosion of fracture infillings and (iii) optimization of uplift reduction. Grouting work is then designed to obtain the designed geometry of the grout curtain. In the design of the grouting work, analytical calculations are implemented to determine the grouting pressure, grouting time and grout hole layout. The stop criteria are based on the grouting time, which is believed to obtain better efficiency. The principles of the observational method are implemented to deal with the uncertainties involved in the grouting process. One of the main limitations with the proposed methodology is the limited research on the erosion process of fracture infilling materials in flowing water. To study this issue, coupled numerical analyses are performed to better understand the initiation of erosion of fracture infillings. The results show that the Hjulström and Shields diagram are not appropriate to be used to estimate the incipient motion of fracture infilling materials. Instead, a previous equation derived under laminar flows shows better agreement with the results. / Injektering har länge använts som en metod för att förstärka grunden och reducera vattenflödet i en bergmassa. Injekteringsridåer uppförs ofta under dammar som en barriär med syfte att förhindra läckage av magasinets vatten. Hittills har injekteringsridåerna i huvudsak dimensionerats baserat på empiriska metoder. De empiriska metoderna har emellertid sina begränsningar. Användandet av olika tumregler resulterar i att dimensioneringen i hög utsträckning är beroende av ingenjörens erfarenhet. Brist på erfarenhet kan resultera i en ineffektiv, eller en för konservativ, utformning av injekteringsridåerna. Till exempel kan de stoppkriterier som tillämpas i det empiriska tillvägagångssättet leda till en för lång injekteringstid och därmed bli ineffektiv. Utöver detta kan höga injekteringstryck leda till oväntade deformationer i bergmassan och nya läckagevägar. För att hantera dessa typer av begränsningar har en teoribaserad dimensioneringsmetodik utvecklats. Teorier för berginjektering som utvecklats under de senaste decennierna används för att bygga upp metodiken. I metodiken utformas injekteringsridån som en strukturell komponent i berggrunden under dammen. Den geometriska utformningen och läget för injekteringsridån bestäms med hänsyn till tre kriterier: (i) erforderlig reduktion av den hydrauliska konduktiviteten, (ii) förhindrande av erosion av sprickfyllnadsmaterial, och (iii) optimering av reduktionen i upptryck under dammen. Injekteringsarbetet utformas därefter i syfte att eftersträva den erforderliga utformningen. I utformningen av injekteringsarbetet används analytiska beräkningar för att bestämma injekteringstryck, injekteringstid och hålavstånd. Stoppkriterier baseras på erforderlig injekteringstid, vilket bedöms uppnå en mer effektiv injektering. Principerna för observationsmetoden används för att hantera de osäkerheter som kvarstår. En av de huvudsakliga begränsningarna med den föreslagna metodiken är den begränsade kunskapen som idag finns om erosion av sprickfyllnadsmaterial vid flödande vatten. För att studera denna fråga genomfördes kopplade numeriska analyser för att bättre förstå processen kring initiering av erosion av sprickfyllnadsmaterial. Resultaten visar att Hjulströms och Shields diagram inte är lämpliga att använda. Istället visar en tidigare framtagen ekvation för laminära förhållanden en bättre överensstämmelse. / <p>QC 210512</p>

wałšiʔałin ʔuuʔaałuk̓i ḥaḥuułi: Coming home to take care of the territory: a project of (re)connecting with traditional lands, waters, knowledge, and identityHappynook, Tommy 29 April 2022 (has links)
Written from a nuučaan̓uł perspective this dissertation documents the reclamation of knowledge, teachings, culture, language, responsibilities, and identity through my personal (re)connection to my family’s ḥaḥuułi and hereditary home, čaačaac̓iiʕas. In specific and intentional ways my research, fieldwork, and dissertation are part of a story of reconciliation between myself and čaačaac̓iiʕas, the ḥaḥuułi that my family was dispossessed from because of the impacts of colonization. Despite the near severing of our relationship with čaačaac̓iiʕas and the near destruction of our ḥaḥuułi, čaačaac̓iiʕas is thriving and now is the time to pick up my responsibilities and begin to re-establish a relationship with the natural and spiritual worlds found there. In my research the lands, waters, skies, and natural world are not a place and/or object of inquiry, they are non-human knowledge holders and teachers.
The dissertation draws upon on a diverse set of ethnographic, anthropological, and Indigenous literatures. Emphasis is placed upon the use of nuučaan̓uł scholarship, theory, and methodologies including muułmuumps (being rooted to the land), ceremony, language, song, and interviews. The research builds on four kinds of knowledge that are expressed as: 1) known knowledge; 2) incomplete knowledge; 3) unaccounted for and/or unknown knowledge; and, 4) ethnographic/anthropological knowledge. Through this theoretical platform I explore tangible and intangible cultural and hereditary forms of knowledge production. Importantly, I highlight the role of song and sound as critical vehicles through which contemporary Indigenous peoples can connect to historical places and times. I place equal emphasis on the production of sound through song as I do through the reception of song and sound through a methodology of deep listening. Song and sound play a crucial role in my research and form the basis of knowledge transfer between myself, čaačaac̓iiʕas, and my yakʷiimit kʷiyiis nananiqsu (ancestors). Furthermore, the songs shared within this dissertation are the analysis of my data and how I am choosing to disseminate that data. I argue that these connections provide ways for future agendas and aspirations for cultural resurgence and governance to emerge. / Graduate

Fältmätningar av termisk komfort och luftkvalitet i kontorsrum i äldre temperaturreglerad stenbyggnadBoström, Hanna, Lindelöw, Hanna January 2022 (has links)
Personal på Högskolan i Gävle tycks periodvis uppleva dålig komfort ikontorsrummen på södersidan i skolans gamla kasernbyggnader. En undersökninggjordes därför på högskolan i april månad i tre kontor, ett med fönsterhuvudsakligen i norrläge och två med fönster huvudsakligen i söderläge. Syftet varatt kartlägga den termiska komforten och luftkvaliteten i de olika väderstrecken ochjämföra med gällande rekommendationer, bland annat genom att beräkna PMV vidolika tillfällen. Vidare undersöktes potentiella samband mellan ute- och inneklimatsamt tunna gardiners inverkan på termostat, värmeflöde och komfort. Den undersökta byggnaden är en äldre stenbyggnad med ovanligt välisoleradefönster och termostatstyrda, vätskeburna radiatorer. Byggnaden har FTX-ventilationmed ett till- och ett överluftsdon i varje kontorsrum. Mätningarna utfördes meddataloggrar som mätte lufttemperatur, relativ luftfuktighet och koldioxidhalt. I tvåav rummen mättes även globtemperatur. Utöver det mättes lufthastighet på tre olikahöjder i två av rummen samt ventilationsflödet i samtliga rum. Resultatet visade att inomhus- och utomhustemperatur har en relativt högkorrelation. Relativa luftfuktigheten var nästan alltid högst i norrläge, men i samtligarum var den låg – lägre än vad som rekommenderas i riktlinjerna. Soligt väderpåverkade temperatur och relativ luftfuktighet inomhus mest av alla vädervariabler,men personnärvaro och ventilation påverkade mer än utomhusklimatet. Kontor isöderläge hade som förväntat högre temperatur än i norrläge, och översteg deriktlinjer som finns för temperatur i kontor. Som följd av detta blev PMV högre isöderläge, tillfälligt högre än komfortgränsen 0,5, med ett högsta värde på 1,41. Kontoret i norrläge höll sig vid de undersökta tillfällena inom intervallet föraccepterat PMV med ett lägsta värde på -0,35. Detta tyder på att värme i söderlägeär ett större problem än kyla i norrläge. Lufthastigheterna blev låga i bådaväderstrecken. Ventilationsflödena visade sig vara 2/3 av det projekterade värdet,men ändå låg koldioxidhalten på en acceptabel nivå enligt riktlinjer. Gardiner påverkade komforten mer i söderläge än norrläge, men påverkade intetillräckligt mycket för att komma ner i en acceptabel komfortnivå vilket kan bero påatt de var av mycket tunt material. Det var svårt att se tydlig gardinpåverkan påtermostaten, men fråndragna gardiner kan leda till att termostaten reagerar påtemperaturökningar i ett rum snabbare. Däremot påverkades värmeflödet tydligaregenom fönstret av gardinerna. Skillnaden i värmeflödet vid för- och fråndragnagardiner blev 4,1 W. / Employees at University of Gävle seem to periodically experience suboptimalcomfort in south facing offices in the school’s old barrack buildings. Therefore, acase study was conducted in April in three offices, one facing north and two facingsouth. The aim of the study was to map the thermal comfort and air quality in thedifferent directions and compare these to the existing recommendations, includingcalculating PMV at different times. A potential correlation between out- and indoorclimate was also examined, as well as the effect of thin curtains on the thermostat, heat flux and comfort. The University of Gävle is an old brick building with unusually well insulatingwindows and thermostatically regulated, waterborne radiators. The building hasmechanical ventilation with heat recovery, and each office has one supply and oneover-air diffuser. The measurements were made with data loggers that measured airtemperature, relative humidity and carbon dioxide. The globe temperature was alsomeasured in two of the rooms. The air velocity on three heights was measured aswell in two of the offices and the ventilation flow was measured in all the rooms. The result showed that indoor- and outdoor temperature have a relatively highcorrelation. The relative humidity was almost always higher in the north facingoffice, but in all the rooms it was low – lower than the recommended guidelines.Sunny weather affected the indoor temperature and relative humidity the most of allthe weather variables, but presence of people and ventilation affected more than theoutdoor climate. South facing offices had as expected a higher temperature thannorth facing ones, and exceeded the guidelines concerning temperatures in offices.Due to that the PMV was higher in the south facing office, temporarily exceedingthe comfort limit of 0,5, with a maximum value of 1,41. The north facing office waswithin the limits during the measurements and had a minimum value of -0,35. Thisindicates that heat in the south facing office is more of a problem than coldness inthe north facing office. The air velocities were low in both directions of thebuilding. The ventilation flow turned out to be 2/3 of the intended value, but thecarbon dioxide content was still acceptable according to guidelines. Curtains influenced the comfort more in the south facing office than in the northfacing office, but they didn’t influence enough to get to an acceptable comfort level,which may be because of the very thin material. It was difficult to see a distinctinfluence from the curtains on the thermostat, but using no curtains could lead tothe thermostat responding faster to increases in temperature in a room. However,the heat flow through the window was influenced more distinctly by the curtains.The difference in heat flow when using curtains compared to no curtains was 4,1 W.

Developing a Test Method to Evaluate the Blackout Effect of Uncoated Curtains at Varying AnglesMuminovic, Sara, Lindén, Christina January 2023 (has links)
This study aimed to explore the integration of varying angles in small-scale measurements and assess the light transmission performance of uncoated curtains. A total of four curtains were evaluated: blackout curtain samples 1 and 2 had a weft satin structure, while daytime curtain samples 3 and 4 consisted of a twill structure. The primary challenge was the inadequacy of a standardized test method for measuring the blackout effect, which led to inefficiencies and resource consumption for Company X. To address this, the study emphasized the need to investigate and establish a reliable and efficient evaluation method for uncoated curtains. By developing a standardized test method, it is possible to reduce waste material, labor costs, and resource consumption, enabling companies to operate more efficiently, sustainably, and responsibly. In the pursuit of understanding the blackout effect and evaluating the structural parameters of uncoated curtains, this study explored various test methods and parameters. More specifically, parameters such as air permeability, porosity, and thickness together with microscopic evaluation, were investigated to shed light on their influence on light transmission. The voids in the fabric were found to be a significant factor, along with porosity and air permeability, which demonstrated a correlation with lower values for the blackout curtains. The construction of the test method in a small-scale required a controlled space in the form of a lightbox. Light proofing of the box was required and successfully achieved in Prototype 1 using plywood, sealing strips, and fixtures, resulting in a lower lux value compared with the previous internal method. Objective measurements using the Konica CL-500A lux meter provided a repeatable and reliable test method with a lower tolerance value of 0,05 lx. The developed test method, theoretical Prototype 2, incorporates different sun angles by adjusting the curtain’s position, in the angles of 0°, 15°, 30°, 45° and 60°, and the rotation of the sample within 0° to 360° in intervals of 45°. The important parameters of weft density and the subsequent increase in weight were key factors in the results of light transmission, air permeability, and porosity. Furthermore, properties of the uncoated curtains such of continuous filaments and darker color showed a higher blackout effect. After the identification of complications with the lamp used in the measurement, there has been a focus on discussing the significance of a light diffuser. Additionally, alternative approaches to measure light transmission have been presented, such as digital image analysis and air permeability.

transgressionReres, Shannon Elizabeth 14 December 2023 (has links)
"transgression" is a poetry collection with claws and nail polish. Across four acts, Reres uses a chorus of voices to interrogate the role of the transgressing woman—both present and past, privately and publicly. Transgressing, for Reres, is a performance. Moreover, it is a performance in which women have been asked, coerced—even forced—to participate for millenia. By stepping into the role of the transgressing woman deliberately, Reres turns this tradition on its head. In these pages, she shows that there is power in putting on masks and costumes, just as there is power in taking them off. The difference—between performance as power and performance as prison—resides in the freedom to choose. / Master of Fine Arts / "transgression" is a poetry collection.

Využití odpadního tepla / Use of residual heatVlasák, Vojtěch January 2016 (has links)
This dissertation is divided into three parts. The first part deals with the use of waste heat in the theoretical plane, where methods and possibilities of using this heat are described. Part Two, which is computational, deals with the suggestion of heating industrial halls with an adjacent, mostly office, building in two variants, then it goes on to also deal with the concept of equal pressure forced ventilation, a proposal of air curtains and preparation of hot water, where the heat source is a boiler. In the last part an experiment took place which investigated the conversion efficiency of thermal to electric energy.
