No. of bitstreams: 0 / O relevante conceito de sustentabilidade dos dias atuais leva a população a pensar no tratamento dos recursos naturais e principalmente na qualidade e escassez da água. A grave problemática quanto à gestão dos resíduos urbanos no país, desde sua produção, coleta e disposição final são os desafios colocado aos municípios e a sociedade em geral. O uso cada vez mais abundante dos medicamentos farmacêuticos gera uma demanda de resíduos que acabam atingindo os leitos dos rios. Com avanço das tecnologias é possível monitorar e conhecer os resíduos que afetam indiretamente e diretamente as águas das bacias hidrográficas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver e validar uma metodologia analítica para a determinação dos resíduos de fármacos (ácido acetil salicílico, diclorofenaco de sódio, paracetamol, ibuprofeno e fenoprofeno) em águas utilizando a cromatografia líquida de ultra performance acoplada à espectrometria de massas tipo tandem (UPLC-MS/MS). Foram utilizadas duas fases moveis distintas. Para os fármacos paracetamol e diclofenaco foi utilizado como fase móvel água: metanol (1:1; V/V) com adição de ácido fórmico e a ionização de eletrospray em modo positivo; para os fármacos acetil salicílico, ibuprofeno e fenoprofeno foi utilizado água: metanol (1:1; v/v) com adição de acetato de amônio e a ionização de eletrospray em modo negativo. O desempenho do método foi avaliado quanto aos seguintes parâmetros: especificidade e seletividade, faixa de trabalho, linearidade; limite de detecção e limite de quantificação, exatidão, robustez e incerteza de medição. Os resultados obtidos comprovaram a adequabilidade do método ao propósito supracitado. Os valores obtidos para o limite de decisão (ccα) e capabilidade de detecção (ccβ) foram: paracetamol 0,21 e 0,34 μg L -1; diclofenaco 2,42 e 3,24 μg L -1 ; AAS 1,56 e 2,45 μg L -1; ibuprofeno 2,34 e 3,21 μg L -1 e fenoprofeno 1,89 e 2,33 μg L-1, respectivamente. A metodologia foi aplicada na caracterização de amostras de água superficial (bruta) e tratada proveniente de áreas de captação e de tratamento de água da bacia hidrográfica do Paraíba do Sul. Foram realizadas duas coletas distintas, setembro/ 2010 e novembro/ 2010, nos municípios de Guararema, São José dos Campos, Taubaté e Pindamonhangaba. Em 31,2 % das amostras, Cinco amostras de água bruta das 16 amostras analisadas, foram encontrados resíduos de paracetamol. Os resultados obtidos apresentaram-se em uma faixa de concentração de 0,10 a 0,50 μg L -1. / Dissertação (Mestrado) / IPEN/D / Instituto de Pesquisas Energeticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP

No. of bitstreams: 0 / Vazamentos em tubos pressurizados geram ondas acústicas que se propagam através das paredes destes tubos, as quais podem ser captadas por acelerômetros ou por sensores de emissão acústica. O conhecimento de como estas paredes podem vibrar, ou de outro modo como as ondas acústicas se propagam neste meio, é fundamental em um processo de detecção e localização da fonte de vazamento. Neste trabalho, foi implementado um modelo analítico, através das equações de movimento da casca cilíndrica, com o objetivo de entender o comportamento da superfície do tubo em função de uma excitação pontual. Como a superfície cilíndrica é um meio fechado na direção circunferencial, ondas que iniciaram sua jornada, a partir de uma fonte pontual sobre a superfície, se encontrarão com outras que já completaram a volta na casca cilíndrica, tanto no sentido horário como no anti-horário, gerando interferências construtivas e destrutivas. Após um tempo suficiente, uma estacionariedade é atingida, criando pontos de picos e vales na superfície da casca, os quais podem ser visualizadas através de uma representação gráfica do modelo analítico criado. Os resultados teóricos foram comprovados através de medidas realizadas em uma bancada de testes composta de um tubo de aço terminado em caixa de areia, simulando a condição de tubo infinito. Para proceder à localização da fonte pontual sobre a superfície, adotou-se o processo de solução inversa, ou seja, conhecidos os sinais dos sensores dispostos na superfície do tubo, determina-se através do modelo teórico onde a fonte que gerou estes sinais pode estar. / Tese (Doutoramento) / IPEN/T / Instituto de Pesquisas Energeticas e Nucleares - IPEN/CNEN-SP

Solução analítica da cinética espacial do modelo de difusão para sistemas homogêneos subcríticos acionados por fonte externa

Fernando Luiz de Oliveira 21 May 2008 (has links)
Este trabalho apresenta uma solução analítica obtida pelo método de expansão para cinética espacial usando o modelo de difusão e considerando meios homogêneos multiplicativos subcríticos acionados por fonte externa. Em particular, partindo de modelos mais simples e aumentando a complexidade do sistema, resultados foram obtidos para diferentes tipos de transientes. Inicialmente, uma solução analítica foi obtida considerando um grupo de energia sem nêutrons atrasados, em seguida considerou-se um sistema de um grupo de energia e uma família de precursores. A solução para o caso G grupos de energia e R famílias de precursores em forma fechada é obtida, apesar do fato que não possa ser resolvido analiticamente, uma vez que não existe forma explícita para os autovalores e métodos numéricos devem ser utilizados para resolver tal problema. Para ilustrar a solução geral um problema de multigrupo (três grupos de energia) dependente do tempo sem precursores é apresentada e os resultados numéricos obtidos usando um código de diferenças finitas são comparados com os resultados exatos para diferentes tipos de transientes. / This work describes an analytical solution obtained by the expansion method for the spatial kinetics using the diffusion model with delayed emission for source transients in homogeneous media. In particular, starting from simple models, and increasing the complexity, numerical results were obtained for different types of source transients. An analytical solution of the one group without precursors was solved, followed by considering one precursors family. The general case of G-groups with R families of precursor although having a closed form solution, cannot be solved analytically, since there are no explicit formulae for the eigenvalues, and numerical methods must be used to solve such problem. To illustrate the general solution, the multi-group (three groups) time-dependent problem without precursors was solved and the numerical results of a finite difference code were compared with the exact results for different transients.

Modélisation des écoulements de gravité et des ondes longues : application à l'évaluation des risques de catastrophes naturelles dans les Antilles françaises / Modeling gravity flows and long waves : applications to risk assessment of natural hazards in the french Lesser Antilles

Nikolkina, Irina 11 July 2011 (has links)
La thèse est consacrée à la recherche des catastrophes marines (tsunamis, ondes de tempête) dans les Antilles françaises, en utilisant des modèles analytiques et numériques de mécanique des fluides. L'accent est mis sur le développement de modèles de mouvement de glissements de terrain et des vagues causées par ces glissements. Le modèle le plus simple du glissement de terrain «solide block» est utilisé pour évaluer les caractéristiques des flux pyroclastiques du volcan Soufrière-Hills (Montserrat). Un modèle plus complexe de modélisation de glissement de terrain (modèle de Savage-Hutter) a été étudié analytiquement, donnant ainsi une nouvelle famille de solutions exactes décrivant le mouvement de l'écoulement par gravité non linéaire dans une vallée ou dans un canyon sous-marin. Le modèle comprend des ondes simples (Riemann waves),le cas d'un barrage qui cède (dam-break problem), des solutions auto-similaires dans la M-fonne et « chapeaux paraboliques ». Grâce à la théorie linéaire de l'eau peu profonde nous avons étudié le processus de génération de tsunamis par des glissements de terrain de volume variable, se déplaçant à une vitesse variable dans un bassin de profondeur variable. Dans le cas d'un fond marin particulier (cas sans "réflexion"), les phénomènes de résonnance ont été étudiés dans un bassin à profondeur variable. Nous avons utilisé des méthodes numériques pour la résolution non-linéaire des équations des eaux peu profondes afin d'analyser des catastrophes marines réelles (les ondes de tempête causées par le cyclone Lili en 2002, le tsunami volcanique de 2003 à Montserrat) et probables (un tsunami prés des côtes de la Martinique). Des données sur les catastrophes / The dissertation is devoted to research in the field of marine natural hazards (tsunamis, storm surges) in the French West Indies, using analytical and numerical models of fluid mechanics. Emphasis is placed on the development of models of landslide motion and generated tsunami waves. The simple "solid block" model is used to evaluate the characteristics of pyroclastic flow Soufriere Hills volcano (Montserrat). The "fluid model" of a landslide (so called Savage-Hutter model) is studied analytically; within this model a new family of exact solutions that describe the motion of nonlinear gravity flow in a valley or underwater canyon is found: nonlinear Riemann wave, dan break problem, self-similar solutions (M - wave and parabolic cap). In the framework of the linear shallow water theory the process of generation of tsunami waves by landslides of variable volume moving with variable velocity above the basin of variable depth is studied. For the specific bottom profile ("reflectionless" one) the resonant phenomena is investigated in the basin of variable depth. Numerical methods are used to analyze marine hazards: historical (storm surges, caused by Cyclone LILI in 2002; volcanic tsunami 2003 on Montserrat) and possible events (possible tsunami of the coast of Martinique). Various data on marine natural disasters are obtained during field surveys (volcanic tsunami in 2003, stonn surges caused by Hurricane Dean in 2007). Designed catalogs of tsunamis and storm surges are created based on results of numerical modeling and field studies; some statistical analysis is perfomed

Análise do modelo fracionário de cinética pontual de nêutrons pelo método da decomposição / Analysis of the fractional neutron point kinetics model by the decomposition method

Schramm, Marcelo January 2013 (has links)
O objetivo deste trabalho é realizar uma análise sobre a cinética de nêutrons utilizando um modelo fracionário, recente na literatura. Este novo modelo envolve uma nova relação constitutiva entre a corrente de nêutrons e o fluxo escalar de nêutrons, em que uma das suposições realizada para a relação constitutiva clássica (lei de Fick) não é feita: a densidade de corrente não mais é irrelevante se comparada `a taxa de colisão. Ao considerar esta hipótese, este novo modelo aqui apresentado se torna mais abrangente que o modelo fickiano clássico. Para manter o caráter geral do modelo é considerado um operador diferencial de ordem fracionaria em sua dedução, o que acresce ao modelo dois novos parâmetros: o tempo de relaxação e a ordem da derivada fracionária. Considerando este modelo, é realizada a dedução das equações de cinética de nêutrons, com ênfase na cinética pontual de nêutrons. A equação fracionária de cinética pontual de nêutrons é resolvida analiticamente através do método da decomposição, a fim de estudar o novo modelo minimizando os erros numéricos. Os resultados obtidos através desta metodologia são comparados com os resultados clássicos em diversos casos, com a finalidade de analisar a influência dos parâmetros fracionários no modelo. / The objective of this work is to make an analysis about the neutron kinetics using a recent model on the literature. This new model involves a new constitutive relation between the neutron current and the neutron scalar flux, in which one of the simplifications made to find the classical constitutive relation (Fick’s law) is not considered: the current density no longer is irrelevant as compared to the collision rate. By considering this hypothesis, this new model here presented becomes more general than the classic fickian model. In order to keep the general property of the model, a differential operator with fractional order is considered in its deduction, which adds two new parameters to the model: the relaxation time and the fractional derivative order. Considering this model, the neutron kinetics equations are deduced, with emphasis on the neutron point kinetics. The neutron point kinetic equation is analytically solved by the Adomian’s decomposition method, in order to study the new model minimizing numerical errors. The results obtained by this methodology are compared to the classic results in several cases, in order to analyse the fractional parameters influences to the model.

Limitations of the Ground Reaction Curve Concept for Shallow Tunnels Under Anisotropic In-situ Stress Conditions

Lope Álvarez, Diego January 2012 (has links)
The deep mining industry and civil engineering need to perform rock stability analyses during excavation projects. These analyses are closely related with displacements in tunnel contours. The ground reaction curve is a powerful tool to characterize these displacements that is widely used in the New Austrian Tunneling Method. However, the analytical solutions that exist are only applicable under isotropic stress conditions for deep tunnels. This study aims to investigate when it is possible using the analytical methods to determine the ground reaction curves with enough accuracy in the case of shallow tunnels under anisotropic in-situ stress conditions. The method begins with a literature study. After that, with the help of a 2D model, a comparison between the analytical and the numerical solutions for ground reaction curves at different depths and at different initial in-situ stress ratios was carried out. The results show that both crown and floor displacements deviate more from the analytical solution than the wall displacement. The crown and floor can even move upwards under high initial in-situ stress ratios for shallow tunnels. Because of that, the analytical solution of the ground reaction curve at shallow depths under anisotropic stress conditions should not be used. In the case of isotropic stress field conditions for the analysis in this study, the results given by the analytical solution agree with the numerical ones at depths higher than 14 times the radius of the tunnel. On the other hand, the difference between numerical and analytical solutions becomes higher while increasing the initial in-situ stress ratio, even for very deep tunnels. Furthermore, an empirical equation to obtain the displacements of the ground surface, tunnel wall and tunnel crown has been obtained after a multiple linear regression analysis.

Analysis of borehole heat exchanger in an existing ground-source heat pump installation

Derouet, Marc January 2014 (has links)
Ground-source heat pumps systems (GSHP) are commonly used all over Sweden to supply heat and sometimes cool to different kinds of housings or commercial facilities. Many large installations are by now between 10 and 20 years old. Even when the design of such system has been tackled, rare are the studies that have dealt with following their performance throughout time in detail. Based on conductive heat transfer, the heat extraction process makes the ground temperature decrease when installations are only used for heating. This thesis aims at proposing a method to evaluate how the temperature in a borehole heat exchanger of a GSHP will evolve. The project is focusing on the heat transfer from the ground to the boreholes modelled using Finite Line Source (FLS) based generated g-functions. “g-functions” are non-dimensional parameters characterizing the evolution of the ground thermal resistance enduring variable heat extraction loads. A model using Matlab has been developed and validated against relevant publications. As a case study, the method is applied to an existing 15 years old GSHP installation, composed of 26 boreholes and 3 heat pumps, so as to compare the obtained results with data measured on site. Two sub-borehole fields compose this installation: 14 of them were drilled in 1998 and the remaining 12 in 2009. Measured variable heat extraction loads were superposed using dedicated site g-functions for the two boreholes fields. As a result, a comparison between modelled and calculated heat carrier fluid in the boreholes over the last 6 months is presented here, as well as a 20 years forecast of the ground temperature at the interface with the boreholes.

Analytical and experimental investigations of dam-break flows in triangular channels with wet-bed conditions

Wang, B., Liu, X., Zhang, J., Guo, Yakun, Chen, Y., Peng, Y., Liu, W., Yang, S., Zhang, F. 28 July 2020 (has links)
Yes / Based on the method of characteristics, an analytical solution for the one-dimensional shallow-water equations is developed to simulate the instantaneous dam-break flows propagating down a triangular wet bed channel in this study. The internal relationships between the hydraulic properties associated with the dam-break flow are investigated through the comparisons with the well-known analytical solutions for rectangular channels. Meanwhile, laboratory experiments are conducted in a prismatic, horizontal and smooth flume with a triangular cross-section. The non-intrusive digital image processing is applied for obtaining water surface profiles and stage hydrographs. Results show that the dam-break flow propagation depends on the dimensionless parameter defined as the ratio of initial tailwater depth over reservoir head. has significant effect on the dam-break wave in the downstream flooded area. For , the water surface profiles in the reservoir for different at a given time remains similar. For ≥ 0.5, extra negative waves occur in the reservoir, leading to the water surface undulations. Undular bores are generated at the dam site and propagate downstream. Time evolution of dam-break flows under three different reservoir heads is similar for the same . The inception of water surface profile change is earlier when the reservoir head is larger. The analytical model shows satisfactory agreement with the experimental results though some errors exist between the analytical solution and measurements due to the formation of extra negative waves, jet and undular bores. The similarities and discrepancies between the hydraulics in the triangular and rectangular channels are identified analytically in terms of the profiles of water depth, velocity, discharge, bore height and wave-front celerity with . The presented solution could be applied to predict the effect of wet bed condition on the dam-break wave in triangular channels, while laboratory measurement data could be used for validating analytical and numerical models. / National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No: 51879179), Sichuan Science and Technology Program (No. 2019JDTD0007) and Open Fund from the State Key Laboratory of Hydraulics and Mountain River Engineering, Sichuan University (SKHL1809)

Blending using ODE swept surfaces with shape control and C1 continuity

You, L.H., Ugail, Hassan, Tang, B.P., Jin, X., You, X.Y., Zhang, J.J. 20 April 2014 (has links)
No / Surface blending with tangential continuity is most widely applied in computer-aided design, manufacturing systems, and geometric modeling. In this paper, we propose a new blending method to effectively control the shape of blending surfaces, which can also satisfy the blending constraints of tangent continuity exactly. This new blending method is based on the concept of swept surfaces controlled by a vector-valued fourth order ordinary differential equation (ODE). It creates blending surfaces by sweeping a generator along two trimlines and making the generator exactly satisfy the tangential constraints at the trimlines. The shape of blending surfaces is controlled by manipulating the generator with the solution to a vector-valued fourth order ODE. This new blending methods have the following advantages: (1) exact satisfaction of C1C1 continuous blending boundary constraints, (2) effective shape control of blending surfaces, (3) high computing efficiency due to explicit mathematical representation of blending surfaces, and (4) ability to blend multiple (more than two) primary surfaces.
