Quando o processo de mistura não está devidamente projetado e controlado, obtêm-se misturas com flutuações significativas nas suas características físicas e/o químicas, que no geral são indesejáveis e que suscitam perdas de lotes inteiros de produtos, aumentando o custo e o impacto ambiental do processo de produção. O custo final da energia utilizada no processo de agitação e mistura depende de vários fatores, sendo um deles o impelidor empregado. Para analisar um processo são considerados fatores de interesse como: melhor agitação, menor tempo de mistura e menor potência consumida. Este trabalho de pesquisa teve como objetivo a determinação experimental do número de potência em função do número de Reynolds nos regimes turbulento e laminar para impelidores de proximidade tipo âncora (reta e tubular) com e sem raspadores e para um impelidor do tipo helicoidal, usando como fluido pseudoplástico de alta viscosidade a carboximetilcelulose (CMC) diluída em água. Desta forma, foi possível selecionar a configuração que apresentava o menor consumo de potência. Para isto foi utilizado o protótipo em escala piloto desenvolvido pelo grupo de pesquisa do laboratório de Fluidodinâmica Computacional (LCDF) da Faculdade de Engenharia Química da Unicamp / Abstract: Frequently, agitation and mixing processes, so fundamental ones, are neglected in the industry sector in general, such as petrochemical, pharmaceutical, chemical and food processing industries. However, there are systems in which the performance of the process depends strongly on the degree of homogeneity achieved during the mixing process. When the mixing process is not properly projected and controlled, mixtures with significant fluctuations regarding their physical and/or chemical characteristics are obtained, and been that usually undesirable, it may cause the loss of entire product batches, increasing the production cost and the environmental impact of the production process. The final cost of the energy used in the agitation process depends on several factors, being one of them the type of impeller used. In order to analyze any process, factors of interest such as better agitation, least mixing time and least power consumption are considered. This research aim is to experimentally determine the power number as a function of Reynolds number in turbulent and laminar regimes for anchor-type impellers (straight and tubular) with and without scrapers and for a helical-type impeller, using as a high viscosity pseudoplastic fluid the carboximethyl cellulose diluted in water. For this purpose, it was used a pilot plant scale prototype, developed by the research group of the Computational Fluid Dynamic Laboratory (LCFD) of the Chemical Engineering College at Unicamp / Mestrado / Desenvolvimento de Processos Químicos / Mestra em Engenharia Química

A travers l’étude de l’émergence et de l’évolution de l’espace de la recherche non étatique en sciences sociales en Biélorussie la thèse revisite la frontière entre la science et la politique et aborde la question de l’engagement intellectuel dans le contexte des transformations postsoviétiques. En 1992, en s’inspirant du modèle des think tanks, des entrepreneurs intellectuels biélorusses ont fondé les premières organisations privées de recherche. Le nouveau mode professionnalisé de production intellectuelle est alors conçu comme un instrument de la « désoviétisation » de la science et de la « démocratisation » de la politique. Les transformations autoritaires de 1995-1996 ont marginalisé cet espace au sein du champ du pouvoir et ont provoqué sa politisation contestataire. Vers 2006 la quasi-totalité des centres fonctionnaient en dehors des cadres légaux. La nouvelle génération de chercheurs qui arrive dans les années 2000 contribue à la reproduction de son caractère à la fois engagé et professionnel. Un nouveau système de relations entre les agents du champ politique et les think tankers permet à ces derniers de prétendre aux rôles d’« experts indépendants » et d’« intellectuels engagés ». / Studying the evolution of the space of non-state social science research in Belarus, this thesis re-examines the border between science and politics, and raises the question of political role of intellectuals in post-soviet societies. In 1992, inspired by the think tank model, the Belarusian intellectual entrepreneurs set up the first national private research institutes. The new professional mode of intellectual production was presented as a tool for “de-sovietisation” of science and “democratisation” of politics. The 1995-1996 authoritarian transformation marginalised the non-state research in the field of power. In 2006, most private research institutes lose legal status and operate informally. Nonetheless, the new generation of think tankers reproduce the professional and protest character of the non-state research. In the new relations system that connects them with agents of the political field, the think tankers continue to claim the roles of “independent experts” and “public intellectuals”.

Apesar de surgir como um país emergente, infelizmente a situação do saneamento básico no Brasil é bastante precária. Dos 5.507 municípios brasileiros apenas 52,2% possuem algum tipo de serviço de esgotamento sanitário (IBGE, 2000). Diante deste cenário alarmante, soluções individuais passam a ganhar mais importância. A adoção de tanques sépticos como uma alternativa para a solução do esgoto sanitário, em regiões carentes de rede de esgoto, passa a ser viável devido ao seu baixo custo e eficiência satisfatória. No entanto, a operação inadequada dessas pequenas unidades podem se tornar um passivo ambiental, em virtude do lodo produzido, subproduto da degradação anaeróbia. A solução mais fácil e prática seria a sua disposição em Estações de Tratamento de Efluente, no entanto é uma minoria dos municípios brasileiros, 20,2% (IBGE, 2000), que contam com estas unidades. A proposta do presente trabalho foi simular a comportamento da disposição do Lodo de Tanques Sépticos (LTS) em aterros sanitários, juntamente com resíduos sólidos domiciliares (RSD). Por meio de quatro reatores anaeróbios, com 50 litros cada, avaliaram-se os efeitos da degradação anaeróbia da Fração Orgânica do RSD (FORSD) na presença de LTS. Todos os reatores possuíam a mesma quantidade de FORSD, 28 kg. Cada unidade experimental recebeu quantidades diferentes de LTS: reator 1 = 0 L; reator 2 = 4,9 L; reator 3 = 9,8 L e reator 4 = 14,7 L. O monitoramento acompanhou as características químicas e a quantidade do lixiviado, a composição do biogás e as mudanças físico-químicas na mistura de FORSD e LTS no início e no final do experimento. Entre os resultados obtidos, destaca-se a eficiência de remoção de DQO da FORSD, 21%, 51%, 68% e 73% para os reatores 1, 2, 3 e 4 respectivamente. E a aceleração na degradação anaeróbia nos reatores que receberam LTS, devido a produção precoce de metano, aparecimento no 40º dia nos reatores tratados com LTS e pela disponibilidade imediata de nutrientes, observada pelas análises de nitrogênio amoniacal. / Despite being an emerging country, unfortunately the sanitary situation of Brazil is quite precarious. Only 52.2% of the 5,507 brazilian municipalities have some type of sanitary service (IBGE, 2000). In this alarming scenario, individual solutions are gaining more importance. The adoption of septic tanks as an alternative to the solution of the sewage becomes viable due to its low cost and satisfactory performance. However, the inappropriate operation of these small units can become an environmental problem because of the produced sludge, sub product of anaerobic degradation. This material must be managed adequately and securely to prevent possible contamination of soil and water. The easiest and practice solution would be its disposal in sewage treatment stations, however there are only 20.2% (IBGE, 2000) of all the brazilian cities which rely on these units. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of the disposal of sludge from septic tanks (LTS) in landfills, along with domestic solid waste (RSD). Using four anaerobic reactors, with 50 liters each, the effects of anaerobic degradation of organic fraction of the RSD (FORSD) in the presence of LTS were evaluated. All reactors had the same amount of FORSD, 28 kg. Each experimental unit received different amounts of LTS: Reactor 1 = 0 L; Reactor 2 = 4.9 L, Reactor 3 = 9.8 L and Reactor 4 = 14.7 L. The monitoring followed the characteristics and quantity of leachate, the composition of biogas and changes in physical-chemical mixture of FORSD and LTS at the beginning and the end of the experiment. The results highlight the efficiency of removal of the DQO of FORSD, 21%, 51%, 68% and 73% for reactors 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively, and the acceleration in the degradation in anaerobic reactors that received LTS, due to early production of methane, appearing in 40º day in reactors treated with LTS and the ready availability of nutrients, observed by the analysis of ammonia nitrogen.

Cette thèse examine les stratégies des think tanks (TTs) européens pour influencer les processus de formation des politiques publiques de l’Union européenne (UE). Cette étude comparative explore des TTs, basés à Bruxelles, qui fonctionnent au niveau supranational, ainsi que des TTs basés en France, en Slovénie et au Royaume-Uni. L’analyse des données empiriques est guidée par le cadre conceptuel combinant la théorie des champs de Bourdieu et ses développements récents avec le concept des frontières et l’approche des réseaux sociaux. Cette étude propose une nouvelle conceptualisation des TTs européens comme un champ transnational. En plus de la dimension horizontale de ce champ, qui se reflète dans sa position intermédiaire entre les champs adjacents, la thèse identifie les mécanismes de son institutionnalisation verticale au niveau européen. La thèse affirme que ces deux dimensions permettent aux membres de ce champ d’accumuler et d’utiliser stratégiquement des formes spécifiques de capital pour augmenter leur légitimité, crédibilité et visibilité sur la scène politique de Bruxelles et ainsi être en capacité d’influencer les institutions européennes. Cette recherche souligne l’importance particulière du capital symbolique et des réseaux qui établissent les frontières symboliques et sociales de ce champ et contribuent à la légitimité du système politique de l’UE lui-même. La topographie des positions des TTs selon le volume et la structure de leur capital dans leur propre champ permet de déterminer leur statut d’« insider » ou « outsider » dans le champ politique européen. Cette thèse apporte des réponses aux questionnements relatifs au « déficit démocratique » et à la légitimité de l’UE, en montrant l’accès privilégié de certains TTs aux institutions européennes, mais aussi l’insuffisance des mesures de transparence, qui règlent leurs relations. Elle contribue à la discussion sur la transformation de la production des connaissances sous l’influence des demandes politiques, économiques et médiatiques. / This thesis examines the strategies used by European think tanks (TTs) to influence the EU policy making process. It includes in its comparative analysis both Brussels-based TTs, which function at the supranational level, and TTs from France, Slovenia and the United Kingdom. The analysis of empirical data is built upon a flexible conceptual framework combining Bourdieu’s field theory and its recent developments with the concept of boundaries and the social network approach. This study proposes a new way of conceptualising European TTs as a transnational field. While acknowledging a horizontal dimension of the TT field, reflected in its intermediary position between adjacent fields, the thesis identifies mechanisms which account for its vertical institutionalisation at the European level. The thesis argues that both these dimensions of the European TT field allow its members to accumulate and strategically use specific forms of capital in order to enhance their legitimacy, credibility and visibility in the Brussels policy making scene and to gain political influence on the EU institutions. This research emphasises the particular importance of symbolic and network capital which fix the symbolic and social boundaries of the European TT field, as well as contributing to the legitimacy of EU policy making itself. Mapping the structural topography of the positions of European TTs in their own field according to the volume and structure of their capital allows us to determine their “insider” or “outsider” status in the EU political field. This thesis joins current debates concerning the challenges of the EU’s “democratic deficit” and legitimacy, by showing the more privileged access of “insider” think tanks to the EU institutions, but also the insufficiency of transparency measures which regulate their relations. Finally, it furthers the wider discussion of transformation of knowledge production under the influence of political, economic and media demands.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo central o desenvolvimento da infra-estrutura de sensoriamento e atuação para a avaliação de Sistemas de Posicionamento Dinâmico de modelos reduzidos de embarcações em tanques de provas. Ele descreve a concepção, o projeto, a implementação e os testes de um sistema sensor de posição e orientação do modelo, assim como o hardware dos propulsores utilizados como atuadores do modelo. O sistema sensor é baseado na emissão e recepção de sinais acústicos sincronizados de alta freqüência (ultra-som). Utiliza-se o Método Esférico 3-D como algoritmo de triangularização, obtendo-se a estimativa da posição por meio da minimização de uma medida quadrática do erro. Além disso, foi também aplicado o filtro estendido de Kalman como algoritmo de estimação. São apresentadas de forma clara e objetiva as dificuldades encontradas no decorrer do desenvolvimento do trabalho, bem como as soluções adotadas para contorná-las, analisando as influências das condições atmosféricas e do ambiente laboratorial no processo de medição, os resultados obtidos a partir dos ensaios, a robustez e o desempenho do sistema sensor. / The main objective of this work is the development of both sensing and actuation infra-structure for the performance evaluation of Dynamic Positioning Systems for reduced scale model of ships in towing tanks or offshore tanks. It describes the conception, design, implementation and tests of a range and orientation sensor system, as well as the hardware of the propellers used as the model actuators. The sensor system is based on the emission and reception of high frequency synchronized accoustic signals (ultra-sound). A 3-D spherical method based on the minimization of a quadratic measure of the error is used to estimate the position of the ship model. Furthermore the extended Kalman filter is also used. The difficulties found during the development of the project are presented as well as the solutions adopted to circumvent them. The experimental results obtained are discussed. In particular, the influence of both the local atmosphere and the lab environment on the performance of the sensor system are taken into account.

Στην παρούσα εργασία μελετήθηκε η δυναμική συμπεριφορά μιας τυπικής σφαιρικής δεξαμενής για την εφαρμογή διάφορων συστημάτων σεισμικής προστασίας. Πέντε διαφορετικά συστήματα σεισμικής προστασίας εξετάζονται:Οι αποσβεστήρες ιξώδους απόσβεσης, οι αποσβεστήρες τριβής και οι μη-λυγίζοντες μεταλλικοί σύνδεσμοι που η λειτουργία τους βασίζεται στην κατανάλωση σεισμικής ενέργειας, και τα ελαστομερή εφέδρανα υψηλής απόσβεσης και αυτά με πυρήνα μολύβδου που η λειτουργία τους βασίζεται στην απομόνωση της βάσης της δεξαμενής. Η αριθμητική ανάλυση έγινε με την χρήση ενός λεπτομερούς μοντέλου πεπερασμένων στοιχείων που προσομοιώνει την ακριβή γεωμετρία της σφαιρικής δεξαμενής, την επίδραση του φαινομένου αλληλεπίδρασης υγρού-δεξαμενής για ενδεικτικά ποσοστά πλήρωσης, την αλληλεπίδραση εδάφους-δεξαμενής και την μη-γραμμική συμπεριφορά των συστημάτων σεισμικής προστασίας. Παρουσιάζονται αποτελέσματα της τέμνουσας δύναμης βάσης, της κατακόρυφης μετατόπισης της ελεύθερης επιφάνειας του περιεχόμενου υγρού και οριζόντιες μετατοπίσεις χαρακτηριστικών σημείων της δεξαμενής, για καθε περίπτωση συστήματος σεισμικής προστασίας υπό σεισμική διέγερση, και συγκρίνονται με τα αντίστοιχα που προκύπτουν για την σφαιρική δεξαμενή με τους συμβατούς χιαστούς συνδέσμους. / Various seismic protection systems are used to study numerically the dynamic behavior of a typical spherical liquid storage tank. Five different anti-seismic devices are investigated; nonlinear viscous dampers, buckling restrained braces and friction devices based on the passive energy dissipation technique and lead core and high damping rubber bearings based on base isolation technique. The numerical analysis is performed by means of a detailed finite element model, taking into account the exact geometry of the steel tank, the fluid-structure interaction effects for an arbitrary level of filling, the soil-structure interaction as well as the non-linearities introduced by either the dissipative bracing systems. Representative results for base shear forces, vertical displacements of the fluid content and displacements at characteristic locations of the spherical tank are presented and compared to those corresponding to a tank with a conventional bracing system.

Such systems lead to the production of potentially polluting waste which requires suitable co-treatment. Several co-treatment alternatives have been proposed. The present study, which is part of the Program on Basic Sanitation Research (PROSAB), aimed to evaluate the interference caused by septage disposal from cesspools and septic tanks on the performance of the Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket Reactor (UASB) in the city of Itumbiara- Goiás. The study took nine months and was divided into three distinct phases, in which the volumetric flow rate of wastewater from cesspools and septic tanks into the reactor ranged from 0.17% to 0.51%, displaying an intermediate phase of 0.34%.In the third phase, another fat flotation phase was added to the pre-treatment prior to discharge. During the study, we utilized all the waste volume from cesspools and septic tanks produced by the municipality and discharged into the Itumbiara Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), already working at its full capacity. Statistical tests have proved that wastes from cesspool and septic tanks disposed into UASB reactors showed no significant difference in the final effluent quality. It was not evidenced also significant differences in the operation and maintenance of the reactors. The biological sludge from the UASB reactors got stable after being added the wastes (ratio VS/TS between 0.53 and 0.58 average). The receiving reactor’s begs had a worse efficiency but statistical tests showed that the difference was not significant when compared to the control reactors. It was observed in this study, there is no need for the pre-flotation of waste before being released at WWTP with UASB system. Thus the UASB is a viable alternative, but it is necessary to follow a protocol to establish criteria such as the waste application rate, the WWTP site for waste discharge, physical structure and people, as well as to choose for relevant parameters for the waste monitoring before co-treatment. / No Brasil, segundo Pesquisa Nacional de Saneamento Básico do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE, 2010), 44,8% dos municípios utilizam sistemas simplificados para tratamento dos esgotos domésticos como: tanques sépticos, fossas rudimentares, fossas secas. Estes sistemas têm como consequência a produção de resíduos com potencial poluidor que necessitam de codisposição adequada. Diferentes alternativas de codisposição têm sido propostas. O presente trabalho, inserido na rede de pesquisa do Programa de Pesquisas em Saneamento Básico (PROSAB), tem como objetivos avaliar as interferências da disposição de resíduos de fossas e tanques sépticos no desempenho do Reator Anaeróbio de Manta de Lodo de fluxo ascendente ou Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB), na cidade de Itumbiara-Goiás. O estudo teve duração de nove meses e foi dividido em três fases distintas, alterando a taxa de aplicações volumétrica dos resíduos de fossas e tanques sépticos no reator que variou de 0,17% a 0,51%, tendo uma fase intermediária de 0,34%, além de, na terceira fase, acrescentar mais uma etapa de flotação da gordura no tratamento preliminar, antes do lançamento dos resíduos. Durante a pesquisa, foi utilizado todo o volume de resíduos de fossas e tanques sépticos gerados pelo município e dispostos na ETE de Itumbiara que já trabalha com a carga máxima. Testes estatísticos comprovaram que a disposição de resíduos de fossas e tanques sépticos nos reatores UASB não apresentou diferença significativa na qualidade do efluente. Também não foram comprovadas alterações significativas na operação e manutenção dos reatores. O lodo biológico dos reatores UASB apresentou estabilidade após a disposição dos resíduos (relação SV/ST entre 0,53 a 0,58 em média). Os leitos do reator receptor apresentaram pior eficiência, porém testes estatísticos comprovaram que a diferença não foi significativa quando comparado com reatores testemunhos. Foi observou neste estudo, que não há necessidade da flotação prévia dos resíduos antes de serem lançados nas ETEs com sistema UASB. Portanto o UASB é uma alternativa viável, porém é necessário seguir um protocolo com critérios que estabelecerá a taxa de aplicação dos resíduos, o local na ETE onde será lançado o resíduo, estrutura física e de pessoal da ETE e determinar parâmetros de relevância para o monitoramento dos resíduos antes da codisposição.

Le champ politique est un espace dans lequel s’affrontent des acteurs variés, acteurs qui ne se résument pas aux partis : trop souvent laissés dans l’ombre par la science politique, les clubs et cercles de réflexion, les fondations politiques, les instituts, participent effectivement à la vie politique. L’enjeu de cette étude est de mettre en perspective les modalités d’action des structures non-partisanes, de 1958 à nos jours, en revenant sur leur genèse, leur morphologie, et leurs trajectoires dans le temps : apportant de nouvelles idées, proposant des nouveaux modes de fonctionnement partisans, elles contribuent à faire bouger les lignes du débat politique et pallient les défaillances des partis en matière programmatique et d’écoute des revendications de la société civile. Sans se confondre avec les mouvements sociaux, elles partagent cependant avec ces derniers un militantisme différent de l’engagement classique et utilisent des modes d’intervention bien spécifiques. Malgré des ressources faibles au regard de leurs homologues étrangers (les fondations allemandes, les think tanks anglo-saxons), les structures non-partisanes françaises connaissent une tendance à la professionnalisation et mobilisent de véritables réseaux d’experts pour faire entendre leur voix : à la faveur d’une crise prolongée des organisations partisanes, elles sont appelées à jouer un rôle de plus en plus important dans la construction du « politiquement imaginable », ainsi que dans l’élaboration des politiques publiques. / The political arena is a field where in various actors confront each other, yet cannot be defined as political parties per se. Although clubs, think tanks, political foundations and institutes all genuinely participate in the political life, political scientists have, for the most part, ignored them. The purpose of this study is to put into perspective non-party structures methods of action, from 1958 to the present day, emphasizing their genesis, morphology and trajectories. As they bring new ideas to the forefront and suggest reforms for the internal functioning of political parties, they thus contribute to the evolution of political debate and even compensate for the parties failure in designing political programs and paying attention to the demands of the civil society. Though they are not to be assimilated to social movements, they do share a form of activism which can be distinguished from classical political commitments, and also use specific methods of intervention. Compared to their foreign counterparts (German foundations, Anglo-American think tanks), and despite meager resources, French non-party structures tend to develop their professionalism and mobilize authentic networks of experts so that their message is heard. Due to an ongoing crisis of political organizations, they will certainly play an increasing role in shaping the “politically conceivable” and in building public policies.
