The viability of this product as a source of alternative energy depends on various factors, among which the mixture proportion and the stability during storage time stand out. This is because the availability of the raw material is seasonal and varies in accordance with the harvests of different cultures. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the operational performance of an agricultural tractor working with palm oil biodiesel while performing the operation of tillage with a chisel plow, also opacity, the density of the fuel and the outflow from the filling pump were studied regarding storage time and biodiesel/diesel mixture proportion. The experiment was conducted in the Department of Rural Engineering at UNESP, Jaboticabal, Brazil, in partnership with LADETEL/USP-Ribeirão Preto. Storage time was with new fuel (soon after production), three months and six months, and the percentage proportions used for biodiesel + diesel were B0 (0+100), B5 (5+95), B50 (50+50) e B100 (100+0). When comparing the treatments, we evaluated the fuel consumption, the real velocity of displacement, the sliding of the wheels, the strength of the traction bar, the fuel density, the outflow from the filling pump and the opacity of the fuel smoke. The results show an increase in consumption specific to a mixture starting from 25% biodiesel, although the storage time did not affect consumption. In relation to the opacity of smoke, there was a reduction, even with only 5% biodiesel in the mixture, again with the storage time having no influence.

Previous issue date: 2018-10-16 / This work aims to evaluate the injection of HHO gas, from a hydrogen generator (electrolyser),
into a diesel generator set. After mixing the HHO gas together with the diesel oil, a compression
in exhaust gases, exhaust temperature, carbon monoxide emission, carbon dioxide and primary
engine fuel consumption. The results allowed to evaluate that, when the engine was fed with
diesel and hydrogen, there was a better performance in relation to the burning of fuel, when
compared to a feed only with the primary fuel. At constant rated speed, the results allowed
us to conclude that the engine consumes a smaller amount of diesel fuel and generating less
pollutant gases (monoxide and carbon dioxide) using the HHO gas injection. / Este trabalho tem por objetivo avaliar a injeção de gás HHO, proveniente de um gerador de
hidrogênio (eletrolisador), em um grupo gerador à diesel. Após a mistura do gás HHO, juntamente
com o óleo diesel, foram verificados e comparados nos gases de exaustão, a temperatura
do escape, emissão de monóxido de carbono, dióxido de carbono e consumo de combustível
primário do motor. Os resultados encontrados permitiram avaliar que, quando o motor foi alimentado
com diesel e hidrogênio, houve melhor desempenho, em relação à queima de combustível,
se comparado a uma alimentação apenas com o combustível primário. Com velocidade
nominal constante, os resultados permitiram concluir que o motor consome menor quantidade
de óleo diesel e gerando menos quantidade de gases poluentes (monóxido e dióxido de carbono)
usando a injeção de gás HHO.

Previous issue date: 2016-02-29 / The residual oil frying (ORF), when disposed of incorrectly, cause negative impacts on the environment. However, its use as biofuel, generates great benefits of social, economic and environmental order. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of a group cycle diesel engine-generator powered by diesel and mineral diesel blends with residual oil frying. The trials were conducted in machines Instrumentation Laboratory and Agricultural Mechanization (Limma) of the Federal Rural University of the Semi-Arid (UFERSA) in Mossoró-RN, using a completely randomized design in factorial 4 x 5, with four replications. The treatments were diesel (DI) of oil and mixtures of diesel and residual oil frying (ORF) in the proportions: 50% DI and 50% ORF; DI 75% and 25% ORF; DI 90% and 10% ORF; 100% DI. The resistive loads used were 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 kW. The engine oil temperature remains within the recommended operating range (85-95 ° C), indicating no lubricating oil contamination. All mixtures ORF had lower values for the exhaust temperature to the commercial diesel. The lower values of specific fuel consumption (EC) were obtained with higher loads, particularly at loads of 12 and 15 kW. The ORF25 mixture was the one with the lowest power generated and the EC farther diesel for all applied loads. Among the binary mixtures, ORF presented SE 10 similar to diesel in loads of 12 and 15 kW and the ORF50, the loads of 3, 9 and 12 kW; demonstrating that such mixing proportions, the ORF can replace mineral diesel / O óleo residual de fritura (ORF), quando descartado de maneira incorreta, causa impactos negativos ao meio ambiente. Todavia, a sua utilização como biocombustível gera grandes benefícios de ordem social, econômica e ambiental. Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar o desempenho de um grupo motor-gerador de ciclo diesel, alimentado com diesel mineral e misturas de diesel com óleo residual de frituras. Os ensaios foram conduzidos no Laboratório de Instrumentação de Máquinas e Mecanização Agrícola (LIMMA) da Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido (UFERSA), em Mossoró-RN, utilizando delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, em esquema fatorial 4 x 5, com quatro repetições.

Biodiesel de dendê em trator agrícola: desempenho em função do tempo de armazenamento e da proporção de mistura na operação de preparo do solo /Camara, Felipe Thomaz da. January 2009 (has links)
Orientador: Afonso Lopes / Banca: Wilson José Oliveira de Souza / Banca: Carlos Alberto Alves de Oliveira / Banca: Newton La Scala Junior / Banca: Carlos Eduardo Angeli Furlani / Resumo:Biodiesel é um combustível renovável, biodegradável e produzido a partir de óleo vegetal ou de gordura animal por meio de transesterificação. A viabilidade desse produto como fonte alternativa de energia depende de vários fatores, entre os quais se destacam a proporção de mistura e a estabilidade durante o período de armazenamento, uma vez que a disponibilidade de matéria-prima é sazonal e varia de acordo com a safra de cada cultura. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o desempenho operacional realizando a operação de preparo do solo com escarificador e a opacidade da fumaça de um trator agrícola funcionando com biodiesel de dendê, a densidade do combustível e a vazão da bomba de abastecimento, cujos fatores estudados foram o tempo de armazenamento e a proporção de mistura biodiesel/diesel. O experimento foi conduzido no Departamento de Engenharia Rural, da UNESPJaboticabal, em parceria com o LADETEL/USP-Ribeirão Preto. O tempo de armazenamento foi combustível novo (logo após ser produzido), três e seis meses, e as proporções percentuais de biodiesel + diesel foram B0 (0+100), B5 (5+95), B50 (50+50) e B100 (100+0). Para comparar os tratamentos, foram avaliados o consumo de combustível, a força de tração na barra, a velocidade real de deslocamento, a patinagem das rodas, a potência na barra de tração, a densidade do combustível, a vazão da bomba de abastecimento e a opacidade da fumaça de combustão. Os resultados evidenciaram aumento no consumo específico a partir da mistura com 25% de biodiesel, entretanto o tempo de armazenamento não influenciou no consumo. Com relação a opacidade da fumaça, houve redução, mesmo com apenas 5% de biodiesel na mistura, com o tempo de armazenamento não influenciando. / Abstract: Biodiesel is a renewable fuel, biodegradable and produced from vegetable oil or from animal fat through transesterification.

Assessment and Expansion of Laboratory-Based Testing of Biomass CookstovesQuist, Cameron M. 29 July 2021 (has links)
Biomass cookstoves are a significant source of various pollutants, such as CO2, CO, and particulate matter (PM). To mitigate the issues surrounding cookstoves, significant research has been undertaken on improved cookstoves (ICS). This research can be performed in a laboratory setting, in the field, or a combination of both. This work concentrates on the purely laboratory testing. Laboratory testing has both advantages and disadvantages when compared to field testing (e.g. decreased cost and increased consistency). However, field applications are variable, environments can be significantly different (for example wind and ambient temperature can be very different in the field vs. a controlled lab environment) and the personal preferences of the users of the cookstove can also be difficult to predict when only using laboratory testing. It is typically preferable to narrow down the possible cookstove choices by using laboratory results before heading to the field. This work concentrated on assessing the limitations of laboratory testing of cookstoves as presently constituted, as well as finding new ways to improve and expand upon the testing methodologies. Sources of error during testing was considered, leading to recommendations on how to adjust testing to decrease that error. Of note, it was found that higher thermal efficiencies led to increased propagated errors, which complicates the comparison of this efficiency among cookstoves. Additionally, a method for estimating the transient thermal efficiency was developed. Further, the effects of changing some of the key testing parameters were explored and the results showed that the overall thermal efficiency was minimally affected by parameter variations within the WBT or ISO 19867-1 guidelines. Finally, two methods were explored and compared for finding kinetic parameters associated with transforming food from the uncooked state to the cooked state. It was found that physical testing was more effective for samples that started in a harder physical state, whereas DSC testing was more effective with samples that had lower water content. This analysis was done with the intention of using transformation kinetics in future applications of cookstove models so that researchers could gain additional insights into which stoves may be best for their target market.

Expansion of Natural Killer (NK-92) cells and Jurkat cells for Cell therapy / Expansion Av Naturliga Mördarceller (Nk-92) Och Jurkat celler för CellterapiHaruna, Nana Firdausi Garba January 2024 (has links)
Natural Killer (NK) cellterapi är en lovande kandidat för cancerbehandling på grund av dess förmåga att känna igen och döda cancerceller. Adoptiv överföring av expanderade autologa eller allogena NK-celler har visat sig förbättra patientresultaten, särskilt i fall av akut myeloid leukemi (AML) efter stamcellstransplantation. En stor utmaning förknippad med NK-cellterapi är dock att få en tillräcklig mängd NK-celler för att uppnå meningsfulla terapeutiska resultat. Nuvarande metoder för att expandera NK-celler innebär ofta att T-celler avlägsnas från blodet, eftersom T-celler utgör över 50 % av blodets cellpopulation, medan NK-celler endast utgör cirka 10 %. Strategin för att ta bort T-celler involverar vanligtvis användningen av immunomagnetiska metoder, som kräver utbildad personal, är dyra och kräver god tillverkningssed (GMP) för att säkerställa metodens giltighet. Detta projekt syftade till att ta itu med denna fråga genom att etablera ett samodlingssystem mellan NK- och T-celler för att fungera som en modell för NK-expansion från patientens blod, vilket skulle kunna förbättra effektiviteten av cancerbehandling. Projektet syftade också till att undersöka det metaboliska beteendet (skillnader i näringsbehov och biprodukttolerans) mellan de två celltyperna. De två första experimenten med Jurkat gjordes med användning av en modifierad DMEM/RPMI och RPMI 1640-mediet under varierande glukos- och glutaminmålförhållanden. Resultatet från dessa två experiment visar att det modifierade DMEM/RPMI-mediet stödjer tillväxten av Jurkat-celler. Dessutom var produktionen av biprodukter inklusive laktat och ammoniak lägre i detta medium. Emellertid var glukos och glutamin avgörande för Jurkat-celltillväxt eftersom uppenbar konsumtion observerades under odlingsperioden. Det tredje experimentet syftade till att bedöma den negativa/reducerande effekten av glukos- och glutamintillstånd på Jurkat-celler. Resultaten från detta experiment applicerades sedan på NK-92-cellexpansion (fjärde experimentet). Det femte experimentet involverade samodling av båda celltyperna, med början med ett förhållande på 10% NK-celler till 90% Jurkat-celler, en ny celldiameterbaserad distributionsmetod användes för att förutsäga procentandelen NK-92-celler under samodlingen. Från dag 3 till dag 4 var det en ökning av andelen NK-celler, särskilt inom cellstorleksintervallet där de vanligtvis förekommer (17,4 µm). NK-cellerna utökades från 10 % på dag 0 till 52 % (i tillstånd med 2 mM glukos, 2 mM glutamin) på dag 3 och 45 % i tillstånd med 2 mM (glukos), 0,15 mM glutamin på dag 2. Sammantaget uppnådde denna studie framgångsrikt projektets mål att utveckla en samodlingsmodell genom att studera de enskilda cellinjernas metaboliska beteende. Ytterligare studier behövs för att undersöka effekterna av Interleukin 2 (IL-2) som produceras av Jurkat-celler på NK-celler. Dessutom skulle experiment med fler glukos- och glutaminmålkoncentrationer under längre odlingsperioder erbjuda en mer omfattande förståelse av samodlingssystemet, inklusive dess långsiktiga livskraft och celltillväxten av dessa cellinjer. / Natural Killer (NK) cell therapy is a promising candidate for cancer treatment due to its ability to recognize and kill cancer cells. The adoptive transfer of expanded autologous or allogenic NK cells has shown to improve patient outcomes, especially in cases of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) following stem cell transplantation. However, a major challenge associated with NK cell therapy is obtaining a sufficient amount of NK cells to achieve meaningful therapeutic outcomes. Current methods for expanding NK cells often involve the removal of T cells from the blood, as T cells constitute over 50% of the blood's cell population, while NK cells make up only about 10%. The strategy to remove T cells typically involves the use of immunomagnetic beads, which require trained personnel, are expensive, and necessitate good manufacturing practices (GMP) to ensure the method's validity. This project aimed to address this issue by establishing a coculture system between NK and T cells to serve as a model for NK expansion from the patient blood which could improve the effectiveness of cancer treatment. The project also aimed at investigating the metabolic behavior (differences in nutrient demands and byproduct tolerance) between the two cell types. The first two experiment with Jurkat was done using a modified DMEM/RPMI and the RPMI 1640 media under varying glucose and glutamine target conditions. The result from these two experiments shows that the modified DMEM/RPMI media support the growth of Jurkat cells. In addition, the production of byproducts including lactate and ammonia were lower in this media. However, glucose and glutamine were crucial for Jurkat cells growth as evident consumption was observed during the culture period. The third experiment aimed to assess the negative/reducing impact of glucose and glutamine conditions on Jurkat cells. The findings from this experiment were then applied to NK-92 cells expansion (fourth experiment). The fifth experiment involved coculturing both cell types, starting with a ratio of 10% NK cells to 90% Jurkat cells, a new cell diameter based distribution method was used to predict the percentage of NK-92 cells during the coculture. From day 3 to day 4, there was an increase in the percentage of NK cells, particularly within the cell size range where they typically occur (17,4 µm). The NK cells were expanded from 10% on day 0 to 52% (in condition with 2mM glucose, 2mM glutamine) on day 3 and 45% in condition with 2mM(glucose), 0,15mM glutamine on day 2. Overall, this study successfully achieved the project's aim of developing a coculture model through studying the metabolic behavior of the individual cell lines. However, further studies are needed to investigate the effects of Interleukin 2 (IL-2) produced by Jurkat cells on NK cells. Moreover, conducting experiments with more glucose and glutamine targets concentrations over extended culture periods would offer a more comprehensive understanding of the coculture system, including its long-term viability and the cell growth of these cell lines.
