Tendo em vista que os ácidos graxos são componentes de óleos e gorduras, usados para a produção do biodiesel em reações de transesterificação, e cujas propriedades ainda são bastante escassas na literatura, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi o de contribuir com dados experimentais de capacidade calorífica (cp) de ácidos graxos, constituintes de óleos e gorduras. Tais dados são necessários para os balanços de energia e para o projeto de equipamentos visando a purificação de óleos, bem como para o cálculo de reações químicas. A análise térmica diferencial é uma técnica dinâmica que vem sendo muito utilizada na determinação de dados térmicos, como capacidade calorífica, temperaturas de mudanças de estado, determinação da pureza de substâncias, entre outras. O cp é a medida da quantidade de energia necessária por unidade de massa (ou mol) de uma substância para elevar sua temperatura em um grau. Neste trabalho foram determinados os dados de cp dos seguintes ácidos graxos em fase líquida e pressão ambiente: ácido caprílico (C8:0), ácido cáprico (C10:0), ácido láurico (C12:0), ácido mirístico (C14:0), ácido palmítico (C16:0), ácido esteárico (C18:0), ácido oléico (C18:1) e ácido linoléico (C18:2). Para determinar a capacidade calorífica dos ácidos graxos, foi utilizado o Calorímetro Exploratório Diferencial - DSC da TA Instruments. Os dados experimentais foram processados pelo método do software Thermal Specialty Library versão 2.2 e pelo método da Amplitude. Os resultados mostraram que a capacidade calorífica aumenta com a temperatura e com o tamanho da cadeia carbônica. Entre os métodos avaliados não houve diferença entre os resultados obtidos. Os dados experimentais foram comparados com dados obtidos pelo método de contribuição de grupos e os desvios relativos chegaram a 15 %. O intervalo de temperatura de exploração foi de 308 K (35 ºC) a 573 K (300 ºC) / Abstract: In recent years the interest in renewable sources of fuels such as biodiesel has been increasing. Considering that fatty acids are components of fats and oils, used in the production of biodiesel in the transesterification reactions, and whose properties are still quite scarce in the literature, the purpose of this study was to contribute with experimental data of heat capacity (cp) of fatty acid constituents of oils and fats. Such data are needed for energy balances, for the design of equipment aimed at purification of oils and also for the calculation of chemical reactions. Differential thermal analysis is a dynamic technique that has been widely used in the determination of thermal data such as heat capacity, purity determination, phase change temperatures and others. The cp is the amount of energy required per unit mass (or mole) of a substance to raise its temperature by one degree. The cp were determined, in liquid phase and at atmospheric pressure, of the following fatty acids: caprylic acid (C8:0), capric acid (C10:0), lauric acid (C12:0), myristic acid (C14:0), palmitic acid (C16:0), stearic acid (C18:0), oleic acid (C18:1) and linoleic acid (C18:2). To determine the heat capacities of the fatty acids, a Differential Scanning Calorimeter - DSC, of TA Instruments, was used. The experimental data were processed using the Thermal Specialty Library (version 2.2) software and the method of vertical displacement. The results showed that the heat capacity increased with temperature and with the length of the alkyl chains. A comparison of the two methods showed no difference between the resulting information, and when the data from the experiments were compared with the data obtained from the group contribution method, there was a relative deviation of 15%. The working temperature range was from 308 K (35 ºC) to 573 K (300 ºC) / Mestrado / Desenvolvimento de Processos Químicos / Mestre em Engenharia Química

Les effets du pressage à canaux égaux (ECAP), un procédé de déformation plastique sévère, ont été examinés dans un alliage Al-2.5Cu-1.5Mg (pourcentage en masse) prône à être durci par traitement thermique et précipitant dans la région α + S. Une multitude de techniques microscopiques, calorimétriques et analytiques ont été utilisés pour caractériser et quantifier les microstructures, incluant la diffraction Kikuchi, la microscopie électronique en transmission, la calorimétrie différentielle à balayage et la sonde atomique tomographique. Quatre différents traitements thermiques initiaux ont été réalisés pour créer quatre microstructures différentes, contenant soit aucun précipités, des clusters Cu-Mg ou/et des composés intermétalliques Al2CuMg. Chaque spécimen a été soumis au procédé ECAP à température ambiante et les effets correspondants sur la microstructure et les propriétés mécaniques ont été analysés. Des expériences en compression pour de petite déformation (inférieures à 7%) ont aussi été entreprises sur les échantillons trempés pour étudier les effets de la compression sur la formation des clusters. Après la trempe et la compression, des clusters Cu-Mg ont été trouvés dans la matrice et il a été élucidé que la formation des clusters était déclenchée par la compression. La fraction volumique des clusters est corrélée directement par la déformation appliquée : plus la déformation est importante, plus la fraction volumique des clusters est importante. Après ECAP, la microstructure est constituée de longues bandes nanocristallines séparée par de gros grains non-déformés pour les échantillons contenant seulement des clusters avant la déformation, tandis que la présence de phase S, avant ECAP, conduit à des microstructures constituées de zones à gros grains et de zones à grains raffinés, distribués d’une façon homogène à travers les échantillons. Bien que les spécimens présentaient clairement des microstructures différentes après ECAP, impliquant que différents mécanismes de renforcement entre en jeux, la limite élastique se situait au-delà de 500 MPa. La limite élastique des échantillons fabriqués par ECAP a été modélisée en superposant les différents mécanismes de renforcement et en saisissant les paramètres microstructurels venant de la caractérisation dans le modèle. Il a été démontré qu’une très bonne corrélation existait entre les limites élastiques provenant du modèle et celles expérimentales. / The effects of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), a severe plastic deformation (SPD) technique, were investigated in an age hardenable Al-2.5Cu-1.5Mg (weight percent (wt.%)) alloy precipitating in the α + S phase field. A variety of microscopy, calorimetry and analytical techniques were employed to characterize and quantify the microstructure, including transmission kikuchi diffraction (TKD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and atom probe tomography (APT). Four different initial heat-treatments were conducted to achieve four different microstructures, containing either no precipitates, Cu-Mg clusters or/and Al2CuMg intermetallics. Each specimen was subjected to ECAP at room temperature and the related effects on the microstructure and mechanical properties were analysed. Compression experiments for small strains (less than 7%) were also undertaken on the as-quenched samples to investigate the effects of compression on the formation of clusters.After quenching and compression, Cu-Mg clusters were found in the matrix and it was elucidated that the formation of clusters was triggered by pressing. The volume fraction of clusters was found to be correlated to the strain applied: the higher the strain, the higher the volume fraction.After ECAP, the microstructure was constituted of long nanocrystalline bands separated by large undeformed grains for the samples containing only clusters before deformation, while the presence of S phase, prior to ECAP, lead to microstructures constituted of both coarse and refined zones distributed homogeneously throughout the sample. Although the samples presented clearly different microstructures after ECAP, implying that different strengthening mechanisms were active, the yield strength was found to lie above 500 MPa. The yield strength of the ECAP processed samples was modelled by superposing the different strengthening mechanisms altogether and by inputting the microstructural parameters coming from characterisation in the model. It was demonstrated that a very good correlation existed between the modelled and experimental yield strength values.
