This work aims to study the impact of nanofluids with alumina particles on pool boiling performance. Unlike most studies, which use a trial-and-error approach improve performance parameters, this details possible effects nanoparticles effective mechanisms and heat transfer. For purpose, biphilic surfaces (hydrophilic superhydrophobic spots) were used, allow individual analysis bubbles. Surfaces different configurations regions used. The thermophysical properties fluids only vary slightly...
Thermal management of high heat loads is a relevant problem in various industrial applications. Nanofluids used pool boiling based cooling systems are pointed as an attractive solution, but controversial results reported the literature preclude wider use such solutions. On other hand, costs often to fabrication small quantities nanoparticles, so cost-effective solutions needed. Despite extensive research performed on transfer nanofluids, detailed studies bubble dynamics and their relation...
Background: Arboviral diseases, transmitted by infected arthropods, pose significant economic and societal threats. Their global distribution prevalence have increased in recent years, driven factors such as climate change, biodiversity loss urbanization. These diseases are often underestimated due to uneven surveillance asymptomatic cases. Current relies on monitoring vector occurrence spatial distribution, well syndromic monitoring. In this work, we aimed explore the utility of...
This paper presents an integrated system for automatic diagnostic on power transformers (SIDAT) of substations. SIDAT performs diagnosis based several kinds tests such as thermography images, chromatography, physical-chemical, and electrical. also prognostic indicating the time life equipment. The inference engine is rules maintenance department company it has been designed a set Mealy Finite State Machines (FSMs). tested evaluated with data coming from production environment stores 157...
In 2015 Energias de Portugal (EDP) Distribuição (EDPD) decided to install a Storage system in its distribution grid that would be prepared operate connected the offering flexibility and services but also island mode with Client which was EDPD's partner this project. EDPD, Siemens Instituto Engenharia Sistemas e Computadores – Investigação Desenvolvimento (INESC ID) focused on analysis of response ESS faults either network or isolated from it. To ensure safe operation both modes new...
Smart lighting systems have become indispensable in contemporary buildings, yet their configuration remains a laborious and time-consuming manual process, particularly large spaces. As these grow increasingly vital, the need for efficient automated methods becomes clear. This study introduces novel approach to streamline smart process by using Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) data broadcasted luminaires via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), along with illuminance measurements from visible...
Neste artigo analisamos os impactos da solidão na vida de mulheres negras idosas do recôncavo baiano a partir uma perspectiva interseccional. Para isso, optou-se metodologicamente pela pesquisa qualitativa. Como fonte dados utilizamos as entrevistas fim conhecer suas narrativas vida. Os resultados investigação apontam que maior longevidade feminina não é sinônimo viver bem. Que um fenômeno complexo e subjetivo causa estado psíquico sofrimento pode ser refletido no corpo nas relações sociais...
No Brasil, a legislação não definiu de forma rigorosa, até 2013, como os royalties petrolíferos deveriam ser aplicados, embora haja impedimento, através da Lei no 8.001/1990, do uso desses recursos para pagamento quadro permanente pessoal. Este artigo tem objetivo verificar se o ingresso dos afetou despesa com pessoal nos municípios brasileiros, entre 1999 e 2015. A metodologia envolveu modelo análise dados em painel. Os resultados trazem evidências que foram utilizados estimular
Nowadays, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), are becoming even more competitive, with the public ones, facing at same time a greater restriction on funding. Therefore, HEIs, have to be effective and efficient as well, pursuing their own goals, which includes Research Development (R&D) units well. Such demands can achieved, by enhancing R&D’s global performance. use of framework such European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM), bring value an organization characteristics...
Introduction: Currently, and in a competitive context, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) increasingly depend on the quality of their services, not only to satisfy different stakeholders, but also attract funding. In this way, HEIs tend incorporate Internal Quality Management Systems (IQMS) into strategy with view continuous improvement performance. This work intends analyze applicability an HEI, based European Foundation for (EFQM) model, through its implementation public Portuguese HEI....
Nowadays, with globalization and the development of emergent economies Research Development (R&D) Centres in Europe to survive need achieve high levels excellence. In this way, use a quality management tools, such as European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM), can help managers organizations identify de best practices enhance efficiency effectiveness. Hence, paper presents new approach support R&D centres decision-making process achieving aims mentioned above, which is based on EFQM...
This article addresses the developments ongoing in SENSIBLE, an H2020 funded project focused on energy storage and management, which demonstration occurs Évora-Portugal, Nottingham, UK Nuremberg, Germany. Currently, presented work focuses necessary to make possible islanding operation low-voltage grids, where new assets like automation protection schemes are guaranty safety reliability of grids. These a result works under one SENSIBLE use cases demonstrations small village Évora district Portugal.
An intelligent integration and a coordinated use of distributed generation small-scale energy storage devices (DSO client owned) combined with the flexibility provided by end-customers can significantly contribute to improve robustness, resilience distribution grid (MV/LV), common goal for Distribution System Operators. SENSIBLE 1 project aims sustainability three demonstrators were deployed (Portugal, England, Germany) in order prove capabilities Energy Storage Systems (ESS). In Portugal, 5...
