Desempenho operacional e energético de um trator agrícola em função do tipo de pneu, velocidade de deslocamento, lastragem líquida e condição superficial do solo / Leonardo de Almeida Monteiro. -Monteiro, Leonardo de Almeida, 1974- January 2008 (has links)
Resumo: O trator agrícola é uma das principais fontes de energia e de trabalho no meio rural. A utilização correta de pneus, tanto em relação ao seu tipo quanto a calibração de sua pressão interna, são fatores que influem significativamente no seu desempenho. Outros fatores de regulagem do trator; tais como, a lastragem e a velocidade de deslocamento ideal para cada condição de superfície de solo, são fatores que modificam sua eficiência trativa. Esse trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de comparar o desempenho operacional e energético de um trator equipado com pneus radiais e com pneus diagonais, em três condições de lastragem líquida (0%, 37,5% e 75% de água), três condições superficiais de um Nitossolo Vermelho Distrófico (superfície firme, superfície mobilizada e superfície firme com cobertura de restos da cultura do milho) e três condições de deslocamento, distinguidas pela mudança de marchas do trator que correspondem as seguintes velocidades teóricas: 4 km.h-1, 5km.h-1 e 7 km.h-1, informadas no painel do trator. Foi utilizado o delineamento experimental simples em faixas, correspondendo às condições superficiais do solo e um arranjo fatorial de 2x3x3 (pneus, lastros, e velocidades) em cada faixa, distribuídos em blocos ao acaso, com três repetições, totalizando 162 unidades experimentais.

The correct utilization of tires, related to the construction type and internal inflation pressure, both are factors that interfere significantly on its performance. Other factors of tractor adjustment, such as ballasting and ideal forward speed for each condition of soil surface are factors that modify its tractive efficiency. This research was carried out with the aim to compare the operational and energetic performance of a tractor equipped with radial tires and with bias ply tires, in three conditions of liquid ballast (0%, 37,5% and 75% of water), three conditions of surface in a Nitossolo Vermelho Distrófico (rigid surface, mobilized surface and rigid surface covered with remaining leaves of corn after its harvest) and three distinct conditions of forward speed, performed by changing the tractor gears (B1, B2 and C1), that are correlated to the following theoretical forward speed: 4 km.h-1, 5km.h-1 and 7 km.h-1, informed on tractor panel. The experiment design was in simple strips related to soil surface conditions and a factorial settlement 2x3x3 (tires, ballasts, surfaces, and forward speeds) in each strip, divided in random blocks replicated three times, totalizing 162 experimental units. These factors were arranged in order to permit an evaluation of the effects of variables individually or in groups. All data were analyzed statistically using Tukey test at 5% of probability to compare the means.

Enhanced waste tyre pyrolysis for the production of hydrocarbons and petrochemicalsStrydom, Riki January 2017 (has links)
Thesis (MTech (Chemical Engineering))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2017. / Energy security, environmental and economic issues have spurred the interest in
pyrolysis of scrap tyres for the production of fuels and energy in South Africa. However,
the application of the process on a commercial scale is being hampered by the high cost
required to upgrade the comparatively low quality pyrolytic products as well as the high
energy input. Further insights into the mechanisms of thermal degradation of rubber will
assist to improve on the process economics for production of liquid hydrocarbons fractions
suitable for use as transportation fuels and chemicals. This study developed a correlation
to predict the contents of waste tyres that will be converted into hydrocarbons during
pyrolysis from the proximate analysis data. The mechanism/kinetics of thermal
degradation behaviour of waste tyres is also studied, in order to locate the optimal
temperature that will maximize the yield of liquid hydrocarbons and other recoverable
materials.
Data from thermogravimetric analysis is used to determine the kinetic constants for the
pyrolysis reaction over a temperature range of 500 °C - 750 °C. A relationship between
the optimal temperatures and the volatile mater content depending on the desired
products was obtained. This is necessary to eliminate thermal cracking of the pyrolytic oil
into the non-condensable gas that will result from excessive temperature and the
associated energy cost. Relationship to determine the kinetic equation constants is
presented as a function of the volatile matter content. An inductor furnace batch reactor
system is used to carried out the pyrolysis reaction, using Argon as the inert gas to provide
the oxygen free environment required. The products are sent through a 2-stage
condensers, the first operated at room temperature to collect the pyrolytic oil, and the
second maintained at -5 oC to collect the condensable pyrolytic gases.

Enhancing vehicle dynamics through real-time tyre temperature analysisStroud, Trevor January 2013 (has links)
Vehicle suspension optimisation is a complex and difficult task, as there are a variety of factors influencing the dynamic performance of a vehicle. During suspension development, the optimisation of a selected few of these factors is often to the detriment of others, as they are all inter-related. In addition, expertise in vehicle setup and suspension tuning is scarce, and is limited to experienced racing teams and large automotive manufacturers with extensive research and development capabilities. The motivation for this research was therefore to provide objective and user-friendly methodologies for vehicle suspension optimisation, in order to support student projects like Formula Student, while having relevance to the needs of the South African automotive industry and racing community. With the onset of digital data acquisition, it has become feasible to take real-time measurements of tyre temperatures, to provide information on how a tyre is performing at a specific point on the track. Measuring the tyre surface temperature can provide a useful indication on whether the tyre is loaded equally or not, and what suspension adjustments should be made to improve tyre load distribution.

A comparative study between pyrolytic oil obtained from used tyres and natural rubberOsayi, Julius Ilawe January 2016 (has links)
A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
Johannesburg
10th of October 2016 / Thermal pyrolysis is one of the viable technologies suitable for the management of organic solid waste, which has become a global challenge over the years. This is due to the non-biodegradability of these materials and their continuous usage across all segments of man’s daily activities. Effectiveness of the method is in converting these materials under controlled process conditions, that enable the optimization of the fraction of interest, such as the liquid fraction also referred to as pyrolytic oil with a near zero pollution effect on the environment.
The main setback in the production of the liquid fraction include low yield, presence of sulphur and other aromatic compounds which have been linked to environmental pollution and health complications. This study focuses on improving the liquid fraction yield and composition obtainable from pyrolysis process. Latex natural rubber (obtained from Hevea Brasiliensis) was pyrolysed and its products compared with that of the used tyres.
The production of pyrolytic oil from used tyres and natural rubber was performed using thermal and catalytic pyrolysis processes. The operating temperature range of 375 to 750 oC (at an interval of 75 oC) at a heating rate of 15oC/min and feed material particle sizes of 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 mm were used. In addition, Zeolite NaY was synthesized from Lawani Benin River Kaolin (LBK) at a synthesis time and temperature of 9 h and 100 oC respectively, using hydrothermal synthesis method, and used for catalytic pyrolysis.
The chemical characterisation revealed pyrolytic oil composition to be a complex mixture of aliphatic, aromatics, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and other oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur and
chlorinated compounds in small proportions. The non-catalysed and catalysed pyrolysis using natural rubber resulted in pyrolytic oil with 80 and 66% of aliphatic, 12 and 15% aromatic (with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons concentration of 2 and 1%). The non-catalysed and catalysed pyrolysis using used tyres yielded pyrolytic oil with 42 and 32% of aliphatic, 34 and 39% aromatic (with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons concentrations of 18 and 23%).
The kinetics of the thermal degradation with the aid of a thermogravimetry and differential thermogravimetry analyzer was performed over a temperature range of 30 to 800 oC at a heating rate of 15, 20 and 30oC/min. Results showed that natural rubber displayed higher activation energy than used tyres, with respect to the heating rates. This is an indication that natural rubber is more difficult to thermally decompose than used tyres.
The distillation temperature of the distillates was within the temperature range of the conventional petrol and diesel. The composition of the distillates revealed carbon chain length of C5-C30 with majority being C8 – C10. A spark ignition generator engine was used to perform the combustion tests for the various pyrolytic oil distillates and petrol blended in the ratio 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% successfully without engine modification. For the fuel consumption with respect to generator run time, it was observed that an optimum of 20% natural rubber pyrolytic oil distillates (NRPD)-Petrol blend gave comparative fuel consumption behavior with that of commercial petrol. Furthermore, the 20% NRPD distillates gave optimum fuel consumption and power. Hence, a significant yield improvement and combustion performance were observed for the pyrolytic oil derived from natural rubber than that of used tyres. Further treatment of the
pyrolytic oil distillates could pave the way for effective use of the oil as chemical feedstock for
industries, or as substitutes for fossil fuel.
It was also requisite to develop a mathematical model which adopts thermogravimetry analyser
(TGA) as a dynamic apparatus to predict weight change of a material as it degrades with time at
a fixed temperature. The proposed models were in three consecutive phases which were
classified into three time zones 0 ≤ t ≤ t1, t1 ≤ t ≤ t2 and t ≤ t2.
The general model equation for the first phase of degradation was

, while the
second phase model was
and at the third phase, it is assumed
that the limit of weight loss (in the second phase equation) as t tends to ∞ gives a value k , at
which change in weight loss with time is negligible. The proposed model was used to plot graph
of weight loss versus time at different fixed temperature which fitted well with the experimental
TGA and had a characteristic pattern fitted closely to the second phase degradation of the fixed
bed reactor. / MT2017

Deformações elásticas e áreas de contato de pneus agrícolas e florestais utilizando prensa hidráulica em superfície rígida /Aleixo, Edward Victor, 1988. January 2015 (has links)
Orientador: Saulo Philipe Sebastião Guerra / Banca: Kleber Pereira Lanças / Banca: Fabricio Leite / Resumo: Os pneus agrícolas e florestais interferem significativamente no desempenho e rendimento das máquinas, sendo relevante o conhecimento de suas estruturas, pois existe uma íntima ligação do equipamento com o solo, e estes são responsáveis pela sustentação, propulsão e direcionamento das máquinas. Diversas características do pneu como a pressão de inflação, área de contato e a disposição e altura das garras na banda de rodagem interferem na física do solo. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a área de contato e os deslocamentos vertical e horizontal de dois pneus BPAF (Baixa Pressão e Alta Flutuação), um agrícola e um florestal, com as mesmas dimensões 600/55-26.5, em superfície rígida, em função da aplicação de diferentes pressões de inflação, segundo a orientação do manual técnico do fabricante, e a submissão dos mesmos a cargas suportadas. Foi utilizada uma prensa hidráulica pertencente ao NEMPA (Núcleo de Ensaio de Máquinas e Pneus Agroflorestais) da Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas - UNESP, Câmpus de Botucatu - SP. O pneu agrícola foi submetido aos seguintes tratamentos de pressões e cargas: 48,2 kPa e 25 kN, 193 kPa e 50 kN, 234,4 kPa e 50 kN, 344,7 kPa e 50 kN. No pneu florestal foram realizados os tratamentos de pressões e cargas: 158,5 kPa e 35 kN, 241,3 kPa e 50 kN, 379,2 kPa e 50 kN e 496,4 kPa e 50 kN. Fixou-se uma folha de papel à uma superfície rígida para obtenção das áreas de contato dos pneus, e os mesmos foram prensados sobre a folha anteriormente citada. Secundariamente, foi posicionada uma fita de papel milimétrico. Foram obtidas fotos de cada área de contato e as leituras das áreas de contato foram realizadas utilizando o software ImageJ. Para obtenção dos valores dos deslocamentos horizontal e vertical utilizou-se dois sensores do tipo potenciômetros lineares. Observou-se que, com o aumento da pressão de ... / Abstract: Agriculture and forestry tires influence significantly the machines efficiency, thus it is relevant to consider their structures, because there is a directly relation between tires, that are responsible for the support, propulsion and steering of machines, and soil. There are several tires characteristics that impact soil physics, like inflation pressure, contact area, and the height of tread claws. The present study had as objective to evaluate the contact area, vertical and horizontal displacement of two BPAF (low pressure and high fluctuation) tires, one forestry and other agricultural, of same dimensions (600/55-26.5), in rigid surface, by applying different inflation pressures regarding the manufacturer's technical manual, and submitting both tires to supported loads. The experiment was accomplished using a hydraulic press in NEMPA (Agroforestry Machine and Tire Testing Center) located at Faculty of Agricultural Sciences (FCA/UNESP) in Botucatu-SP. The agricultural tire was submitted to the following pressure and loads treatments: 48,2 kPa and 25 kN, 193 kPa and 50 kN, 234,4 kPa, and 50 kN, 344,7 kPa and 50 kN. While the forestry tire was submitted to pressure and loads treatments as follow: 158,5 kPa and 35 kN, 241,3 kPa and 50 kN, 379,2 kPa, and 50 kN e 496,4 kPa and 50 kN. To get the contact area of each tire, they were pressed to a paper sheet that was fixed to a rigid surface. Then, a millimetric paper tape was placed. Pictures of each contact area were taken, and the areas were read with the software ImageJ. To obtain the values of horizontal and vertical offsets, two linear potentiometers sensors were used. It was observed that ... / Mestre
