This work presents a theoretical and numerical study of laminar flow of fluids through fractures in porous media, obtaining results for fluid dynamic parameters and properties such as friction factor, permeability, ...

The water-soluble extract of cashew nut almond is a product rich in proteins and lipids, with excellent flavor and high added value. Transformed into powder, it maintains its best characteristics and acquires the advantages ...

For the maintenance of industrial activities, humans extract a vast amount of raw materials from nature, a significant portion of which turns into waste or solid rejects. Among the materials that generate substantial ...

Brazil is the world’s largest sugarcane producer, and its bagasse is a significant source of biomass that can be converted into renewable energy through processes like pyrolysis. Developing mathematical models to represent ...

This study aims to evaluate the characterization of fresh red rice, red hydrated red rice for 7 hours at temperatures of 45 to 75°C and parboiled rice autoclaved for 14, 22 and 30 minutes, also submitted to drying at ...

This research work aimed to study the adsorption mechanism of insulating mineral oil, dispersed in an aqueous medium, by biomass made up of algae found on the coast of Paraíba. Initially, the biomass was characterized by ...

This work aims to theoretically study the phenomena of heat and mass transfer in heterogeneous solids with arbitrary shape. Based on the method of lumped analysis, phenomenological mathematical models were developed to ...

For ethical and safety reasons, studying the behaviour of people in emergency situations would be unfeasible using the same traditional field study methodology. Virtual Reality (VR) is a tool that makes it possible to ...

One of the most necessary problems in the design of vertical silos is an accurate prediction of the load distribution in its body, with special attention to the pressure exerted on the walls due to the buoyancy of the ...

Heavy oils constitute a large part of the accessible national and world reserve, to be explored and produced. However, its high degree of density and viscosity, in addition to its physicochemical properties and its high ...
