Simulação de escoamentos em turbinas eólicas tipo Savonius
(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2025-07-10) Silva, Mylena Carvalho; Nascimento, Andreia Aoyagui; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4938165765006772; Nascimento, Andreia Aoyagui; Borges, Jonatas Emmanuel; Silveira Neto, Aristeu da
Wind energy represents a significant portion of Brazil’s energy matrix, with strong growth projections for the coming years. Among wind turbine models, vertical-axis turbines are characterized by low noise levels and independence from wind direction. In particular, Savonius turbines, which feature a distinctive S-shaped rotor, exhibit good self-starting capabilities. This study aims to numerically and computationally model the behavior of a Savonius rotor under free rotation. The IMERSPEC numerical methodology is employed, which couples the Fourier pseudospectral method (FPM) with the Immersed Boundary Method (IBM). The analysis begins with the validation of the methodology for flow over square and triangular cross-section cylinders, in both fixed and flow-induced rotation conditions, reproducing wake patterns and aerodynamic coefficients consistent with computational results reported in the literature. Next, the effects of convex and concave semi-cylinders are examined, highlighting differences in recirculation mechanisms and wake structures. The fixed Savonius rotor is analyzed at different azimuthal angles, revealing that the configuration θ = π/4 yields the highest torque, whereas θ = 3π/4 is the only one to produce negative torque, due to the shading of the advancing blade. Finally, free rotation is investigated for Re = 100 and Re = 800, where two distinct regimes are identified: low-amplitude rotation and continuous rotation, respectively. In the low-amplitude regime, a direct relationship is observed between torque and azimuthal displacement, characterizing an in-phase regime, with a 2S-type wake. In the continuous rotation regime, the angular velocity increases and reaches a steady state, forming an S+P-type wake. The results confirm the applicability of the IMERSPEC methodology for modeling vertical-axis wind rotors and offer relevant contributions to the understanding of the fluid dynamic mechanisms associated with the Savonius rotor.

(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2025-03-28) Pamplona, Almério José Venâncio Pains Soares; Vasco, Joel Roberto Guimarães; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2787228916381075; Nascimento, Andreia Aoyagui; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4938165765006772; Nascimento, Andreia Aoyagui; Silveira Neto, Aristeu da; Vasco, Joel Roberto Guimarães; Soares, Alexandre Kepler
A water hammer is a rapid pressure surge in pipelines caused by sudden flow velocity changes, such as when valves close. These surges can result in serious failures in fluid transport systems if not controlled. Traditional methods, like the Method of Characteristics (MOC), help predict water hammer but face challenges, including Courant number constraints and mass and momentum balance issues in complex geometries. The Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method offers a promising alternative, enabling mesh-free modeling and improved flexibility for simulating these hydraulic transients. This study employs an in-house code based on the Corrected Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (CSPH) method that uses kernel function renormalization for boundary treatment. Unsteady friction models are included to enhance accuracy in modeling water-hammer in metal pipes. For plastic pipes, this approach is combined with a mechanical Kelvin-Voigtbased viscoelastic model. The numerical setup consists of a reservoir-tube-valve system to validate the SPH-based methods. Simulations assess the effects of unsteady friction and viscoelasticity on pressure wave propagation. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is used to identify optimal configurations and how numerical parameters affect the simulations. Results show that CSPH effectively captures the wave pressure damping ratio but fails to estimate wave speed due to momentum loss from density reductions in renormalization. To correct this, one introduces the Compensated CSPH (CCSPH), which accurately simulates pressure wave damping ratios, wave speeds, and waveforms in elastic and viscoelastic pipes. One also validated an in-house Method of Characteristics (MOC) code for comparison with CCSPH. Both methods demonstrated similar accuracy and computational efficiency.
Análise modal de um modelo simplificado de torre de turbina eólica em escala reduzida
(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2025-02-18) Morais, Pedro Henrique Debs de; Kitatani Júnior, Sigeo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9419723461067210; Fagundes Neto, Marlipe Garcia; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6303674803792521; Fagundes Neto, Marlipe Garcia; Morais, Marcus Vinicius Girão de; Colherinhas, Gino Bertollucci; Kitatani Júnior, Sigeo
The growing demand for renewable energy sources, such as wind energy, has driven research on wind turbines, which are essential for the sustainable generation of clean energy. In this context, studies conducted in the wind tunnel acquired through Furnas' research and development (R&D) program have highlighted the importance of evaluating reduced-scale models of the NREL 5 MW wind turbine tower, considering different structural configurations, including cantilevered beams, beams with concentrated mass at the free end, and the inclusion of Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs). The use of reduced-scale models enables the simulation and analysis of the dynamic behavior of wind turbine towers under controlled wind tunnel conditions. This study focuses on evaluating the dynamic behavior of beams with concentrated mass subjected to low-velocity flows. The comparison is performed through (a) analytical modeling using Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, (b) numerical modeling using the finite element method (FEM), and experimental validation via (c) experimental modal analysis (EMA) and (d) operational modal analysis (OMA). The experimental results obtained in this study show high agreement with the theoretical predictions of Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and FEM, validating the accuracy of the employed methodologies. The comparison between Euler-Bernoulli and FEM demonstrated that FEM provides a strong correlation between modal shapes, allowing the results obtained for cantilevered beams with mass at the free end and beams with TMDs to be referenced using FEM. The Modal Assurance Criterion (MAC) revealed a correlation above 90% between the modes identified by EMA and OMA in the cantilevered beam model, reinforcing the reliability of the results. Despite some discrepancies observed in the comparison of accelerometer positions along the beam, particularly in the intermediate section, these were attributed to the sensitivity of the methodologies to experimental conditions. FEM enabled a more detailed analysis of the dynamic behavior of the three beam models, confirming the tuning effectiveness for vibration mitigation in wind turbines through TMD implementation
Avaliação da Aplicabilidade da Manufatura Aditiva por Deposição a Arco (MADA) para Produção de Tubo de Aço Aplicado em Transporte de Cloro
(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2024-12-17) Silva, Lucas Lauriano da; Ferreira Filho, Demostenes; Ferreira Filho, Demostenes; Souza, Daniel; Mota, Paulo Rosa
Basic sanitation is crucial for society and public health, and the choice of materials for chlorine conveyance presents challenges. This work explores the alternative manufacturing of a tube using the Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) process for transporting liquid chlorine, highlighting WAAM as a potential alternative. In the first method stage, preliminary fabrication aimed to optimize process parameters such as stability and heat dissipation in MIG/MAG welding and geometry, ensuring an appropriate shape without defects like porosities. The second stage compared the WAAM tube with the commercial SAE 1020 in terms of machining, processing data to evaluate machining force, and roughness was used to assess finishing. Hydrostatic tests were conducted with two pressures: 59 bar for 10 seconds and 15 bar for 3 hours. The tensile test used tubular samples and a plug to avoid internal deformations. The microstructure was revealed with 5% nital and analyzed using an optical microscope. In the third stage, the corrosion test between the WAAM tube and ASTM A106 grade B was conducted for 7 days in the laboratory and in service in a liquid chlorine plant, evaluating mass loss and corrosion rate. The main results showed that parameterization enabled the production of a high-quality piece with adequate geometry and no visible defects. The WAAM tube exhibited a machining force of 632.8 N at a feed rate of 0.15 mm/rev, comparable to the commercial tube. It showed no leaks in the hydrostatic test, confirming its tightness, and its mechanical properties are equivalent to grade B material, with a strength limit of 415 MPa. The microstructure revealed a predominance of ferrite in the lower regions and the presence of ferrite, pearlite, and other constituents in the upper regions. In the corrosion test, the WAAM tube achieved a rate of 0.70 mm/year, lower than the current tube's rate of 2.02 mm/year. In chlorine environments where strong acids predominantly form, the main corrosion mechanism was uniform, whereas in chlorides and weak acids, a mixed corrosion with pitting was observed. The study concluded that it is possible to manufacture a flanged tube using the WAAM process with equivalent mechanical properties and greater corrosion resistance than those currently used in the basic sanitation industry.
Avaliação do Desempenho de Lâminas para Corte de Vergalhões Revestidas por Soldagem FCAW Utilizando a liga de FeCrC
(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2024-09-30) Rocha, Wesley Oliveira da; Osorio, Alice Gonçalves; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1390205328932584; Souza, Daniel; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2132578584168482; Souza , Daniel; Figueiredo, Kléber Mendes de; Bianchi, Kleber Eduardo; Osori, Alice Gonçalves
This work is an applied or practical research of a real problem in the metallurgical industry segment that cuts rebar for use in metal structures for civil construction. This company uses knives or blades to cut rebar bars for the production of structures such as beams, trusses, columns, among others. These knives operate under dynamic loading when shearing the material, which leads to the deterioration of their surface over time. This deterioration may occur due to factors such as friction, abrasion, and fatigue. The recovery of rebar cutting knives is necessary because, with constant use, severe failures can occur during operation, leading to material loss that affects the quality of cuts, accident risks, and low productivity. To restore the knives due to wear, reduce process costs, and achieve longer durability in the work cycle, a coating was applied using the FCAW welding process with a consumable based on iron, chromium, and carbon. The consumable has good mechanical properties and features such as abrasive resistance and high hardness due to the formation of carbides in its microstructures. The methodology consisted of conducting tests on knives coated with one and two layers of coating on the material originally used by the company and on common carbon steel. Tests were also carried out on a new knife from the company. The parameters for the coating were chosen by analyzing the weld beads, considering their width and penetration, as well as dilution. The cutting tests were conducted using approximately 1,000 cuts or knife failure as the stopping criterion. The results showed that the new knife, without coating, performed better than the coated knives. Among the coated knives, the one that showed the best performance had a single layer on the VC-131 steel substrate. All coating samples presented primary carbides (Cr7C3) in their microstructures in rod and hexagonal shapes.
Integração de telemática e machine learning para determinação das condições de transporte de cargas
(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2023-02-02) Glehn, Fábio Ribeiro von; Fagundes Neto, Marlipe Garcia; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6303674803792521; Fonseca, João Paulo da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5217261758266411; Fonseca, João Paulo da Silva; Fagundes Neto, Marlipe Garcia; Soares, Anderson da Silva; Santos, Max Mauro Dias
This study explores the application of telematics in fleet management to control fuel consumption and pollutant emissions. Beginning with analyzing the economic and environmental impact of diesel usage, the paper identifies the challenge of reducing these effects and highlights telematics and machine learning as possible solutions. Literature reviews validate this approach, demonstrating that combining telematics and machine learning optimizes fuel consumption, identifies driving patterns, and enhances maintenance. The applied research uses vehicle data available in the trucks' communication networks and telematics devices connected to the SAEJ1939 network. This data formed three separate databases: the first was collected from a fleet of 10 trucks belonging to a fuel transporter and the other two from Geotab® equipment installed in two trucks belonging to different transporters: one of sand and the other of food products. The study developed a model with eight different machine learning algorithms to determine whether a truck is loaded or empty. After validating the data, the final analysis after 10 runs of the code revealed, with the first database, an accuracy of over 85% for routes over 1 km or more than 120 seconds of movement. With the Geotab® data, a dashboard was built that made it possible to monitor the daily behavior of the two trucks with the creation of maps, graphs, identification of places of interest and selection of frequent stretches and performance indicators that include the payload transported.
Desenvolvimento de sistema de condicionamento de sinais de balança aerodinâmica para túneis de vento para aplicações didáticas
(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2024-08-26) Nascentes, Douglas Neves; Fagundes Neto, Marlipe Garcia; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6303674803792521; Mariano, Felipe Pamplona; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4538460201961283; Mariano , Felipe Pamplona; Fagundes Neto, Marlipe Garcia; Mendes, Rafael Castilho Faria; Kitatani Júnior, Sigeo
The development of technology and the great pursuit of performance optimization in various areas of engineering drive the application of several advanced techniques in aerodynamic research and analysis. Among them, wind tunnels and aerodynamic balances stand out as fundamental instruments for understanding and studying aerodynamic phenomena. In this context, the present work aims to revitalize an aerodynamic balance by developing a new signal conditioning system, allowing the university to use this equipment for research and project development in the field. To test its capability and validate its application, classic experiments were conducted on classic bodies, such as a cylinder and a NACA0012 airfoil, with the objective of validating the equipment and determining the operational ranges of the available instrumentation and wind tunnel equipment. In addition to these studies, the work includes experiments focused on obtaining operating speed, test time, pressure coefficient, drag coefficient, and lift coefficient. The results related to the pressure coefficient were solid and as expected, indicating the possibility of continuing the work by applying the same procedures to flows over airfoils and wind turbine blades. Furthermore, the results obtained using the aerodynamic balance with the new methodology showed that the new system is reliable, presenting results within expected standards and values and in accordance with other authors' findings. The drag coefficient (Cd) results for higher Reynolds numbers were between 1.0 and 1.3, while the lift coefficient (Cl) remained around zero for all Reynolds numbers simulated in this study. For lower Reynolds numbers, a value below expectations was observed, which can be primarily explained by inferior flow quality in the tunnel at low speeds and the weight of the test object. However, the repeatability of all experiments was noted, reinforcing the reliability of the results obtained by the balance after calibration. Thus, it was possible to develop a new acquisition method and fully calibrate the equipment, revitalizing the aerodynamic balance.
Tribocorrosão de revestimentos soldados de Stellite sobre aço inoxidável austenítico aplicados em homogeneizadores da indústria alimentícia
(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2024-08-28) Rodrigues, Thales Marcelo Pereira; Costa, Henara Lillian; Ferreira Filho, Demostenes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2814935331164390; Ferreira Filho, Demostenes; Costa, Henara Lillian; Alano, José Henrique; Souza, Daniel
In industrial processes, it is necessary to ensure the reliability of assets. In the tomato processing sector, during the last harvest seasons, several shutdowns occurred due to wear, compromising the economic gains of the sector. For tomato processing industries, the homogenizer is a critical piece of equipment that operates under compression. In this condition, a piston, sliding through a sleeve, forces the paste to pass through an orifice to break the macromolecules and bring the fibers closer together. When wear occurs, the reduction of the section causes the system to depressurize, leading to a loss of function. In addition to wear, corrosion may occur due to the composition of the tomato extract. By understanding the wear and corrosion that occur in this system, the application of a more resistant alloy coating is evaluated. Therefore, by characterizing the wear mechanisms that occur in practice, a Stellite alloy can be applied to the homogenizer piston through welding to make it more resistant. Thus, the general objective of this work is to evaluate the applicability of Stellite alloy coatings applied by welding in homogenizers. Using a band saw, samples were taken from the worn region of the cylinder. Subsequently, ultrasonic cleaning was performed, and the samples were analyzed under a microscope. Grooves, likely related to abrasive wear, were identified, as well as plastic deformation and delamination. At the end of this stage, it was possible to understand the morphology of the wear marks and their origin. To define the welding parameters used in the deposition of the Stellite coatings, six beads were applied based on the supplier's operating range. In this process, bead number 5 showed the best performance for the coating application. After the coating was applied to the test specimens, they were subjected to tribocorrosion wear tests. Then, a morphological analysis of the wear was performed (SEM, EDS, Profilometry). In the tribocorrosion test, it was found that Stellite did not acquire better resistance compared to AISI 316L, as, in the presence of chlorides, the cobalt alloy becomes more susceptible to corrosion, making the wear more severe, especially in the passive region.
Análise de escoamento sobre corpo rígido ancorado por mola torcional utilizando o método pseudoespectral de Fourier
(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2024-02-28) Santos, Jéssica Luana da Silva; Borges, Adailton Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1976568434573411; Nascimento, Andreia Aoyagui; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4938165765006772; Nascimento, Andreia Aoyagui; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4938165765006772; Colherinhas, Gino Bertolucci; Duarte, Carlos Antônio Ribeiro
The Brazilian energy matrix, historically dependent on hydroelectric plants, has been diversifying with increasing investment in alternative sources, such as wind energy. In this context, the present work aims to contribute to the study and analysis of flows over rigid bodies, with the objective of applying the Fourier Pseudospectral Method (FPM) coupled with the Immersed Boundary Method (IBM) to fluid-structure interaction problems. The first part of this work is based on the study of the applied methodologies, with FPM applied to the fluid model and the immersed boundary to represent the interaction between the structural and fluid domains. The mathematical model of the structure's movement is also addressed, including the nondimensionalization of the equation that models the rotational movement. Initially, the implementation of the one-dimensional code using FPM was carried out, with the use of the classic Runge-Kutta method and Euler method for temporal advancement, and later, comparisons with and without the immersed boundary methodology were analyzed. Verifications were also proposed in the already developed code, IMERSPEC2D, with the Taylor-Green problem, with and without the immersed boundary, in which it was found that the accuracy of the method even with the immersed boundary is not compromised in the region close to the body. Simulations for verification were investigated for problems involving a stationary rectangular cylinder, with different parameters that interfere with the dynamics of the flow, namely: Reynolds number, distance between plates, and thickness of the cylinder for the duct with a bump problem, and the aspect ratio and Reynolds number for the rectangular cylinder. In all these cases, the flow was treated as if it were strictly two-dimensional, in which the behavior of the wake is analyzed, using the code with the use of the optimized fourth-order Runge-Kutta method both for the temporal advancement of the fluid and for the structure. The expected results were compatible with the literature and with reference articles. In addition, the flow over the rectangular cylinder with one degree of rotational freedom was analyzed, and the obtained results would allow evaluating the precision of the methodology and highlighting some relevant phenomenological aspects related to the dynamic behavior of rigid bodies.
Tratamento de superfície em substratos de aço da indústria farmacêutica via laser de CO2
(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2023-08-31) Martins, André Carvalho; Cunha, Daniel Fernandes da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7364532451621106; Contin, André; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5450987692265022; Contin, André; Bertholdi, Jonas; Ferreira Filho, Demóstenes; Cunha, Daniel Fernandes da
AISI 304 stainless steels play a crucial role in the pharmaceutical industry due to their resistance to chemical reactivity. However, their wear resistance is limited in high-temperature and highpressure environments. Laser treatment emerges as a promising approach to enhance their properties. In this study, a low-cost 100 W CO2 laser is used for the surface treatment of AISI 304 steels, with the addition of carbon black powder. The results showed a significant increase in surface hardness after laser treatment compared to the untreated substrate. EDS analyses revealed the presence of carbon on the surface of the substrates. In addition to the increased surface hardness, the coefficient of friction of the laser-treated samples was reduced when compared to the reference substrate. Ultimately, carbon black acted as a photoabsorbing material for radiation, a source of carbon for increasing surface hardness, and as a solid lubricant. These results demonstrate the viability of using a low-cost CO2 laser as an efficient, versatile, and rapid alternative to improve the properties of materials employed in the pharmaceutical industry.

Brazil is the world’s largest producer and exporter of sugar. One of the factors that directly impact the productivity of the sugarcane and alcohol industry is the maintenance of many equipment pieces that are subject to wear mechanisms. The application of hardfacing aims to reduce the wear of these equipment pieces and, consequently, increase their lifespan, reduce downtime, and production costs. To ensure the quality of the hardfacing, a proper selection of the deposited material and process parameters must be made. The objective of this study is to evaluate the resistance to abrasive wear of hardfacings using the FCAW (Flux-Cored Arc Welding) process, both self-shielded and with the addition of non-energized wire, while also assessing two interpass temperatures between weld beads (50°C and 200°C). The goal is to improve wear resistance and reduce the occurrence of solidification cracks. Three types of consumables (FeCrC, FeCrC+Nb, and FeCrC+Ti) with a diameter of 1.6 mm were used. FeCrC was used for the energized wire, while FeCrC+Nb and FeCrC+Ti were used for the non-energized wire. The base metal used was SAE 1045. Test specimens were constructed for wear evaluation in the laboratory using a Rubber Wheel Abrasion Tester in accordance with ASTM G65-91 standard. Wear evaluation was performed based on mass loss. Hardness and microstructure analyses of the coatings were also carried out. The best results for resistance to abrasive wear were obtained with the combination of FeCrC and FeCrC+Ti (nonenergized wire). It showed better performance at both interpass temperatures compared to other wire combinations. In all combinations, the presence of M7C3 carbides was observed. The combination of FeCrC and FeCrC+Ti showed the presence of titanium carbides (TiC), while the combination of FeCrC andFeCrC+Nb exhibited niobium carbides (NbC). All combinations with an interpass temperature of 200°C demonstrated higher wear resistance compared to those with an interpass temperature of 50°C.
Avaliação de resistência mecânica e análise de forma geométrica de elementos de fixação por rosca fabricados através de manufatura aditiva

The work addresses the mechanical tensile strength of internal fillets in specimens manufactured in PLA and ABS from additive manufacturing by Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM). Test specimens measuring 30 x 30 x 20 mm were manufactured in PLA and ABS with a 3D printer model Ender 3 V2. The through hole of the specimens has measurements M12 x 1.75. Varied parameters used were: infill (p), number of walls (w) and height of the layers (h), to enable the understanding of how the mechanical resistance of the material is affected. Thus, the present study aimed to compare the mechanical resistance of PLA and ABS polymers through tensile tests, defining which material has greater resistance and with low production cost from 3D printing. The tensile tests were carried out using a tensile machine with a maximum capacity of 600 kN, which gradually applied tension to the specimens until the material fractured or ruptured. For the result analysis, relation of resistance from the specimens was verified graphically (force x time) and statistically (ANOVA), judging the influence of variables in individual and collective content in the achieved results. Pieces printed in PLA showed a higher quality of mechanical resistance compared to those made from ABS material when graphic results obtained were verified. As a statistical result, the ANOVA analysis identified the factor with greatest influence on tests were infill (P%), being preponderant both individually and collectively, when analyzing its influence with other two variables.
Modelagem e implementação de uma planta didática de manufatura robótica inspirada em planejamento automático

Current manufacturing systems have been undergoing significant technological advancements, particularly in the field of production planning and automation. The Fourth Industrial Revolution, or Industry 4.0, has already begun to enable technological innovations across various domains, especially in the manufacturing and services industries. There has been a noticeable surge in research on artificial intelligence techniques involving manufacturers seeking efficiency and speed. To achieve 'intelligent' behavior, it is inevitable to implement techniques for automated problem-solving, enabling some decision-making by the equipment and devices themselves. Automated planning, also known as 'automated planning' or 'AI Planning' in English, defines a specific type of state transition problem in which the goal is to find an admissible sequence of actions to bring the system from a certain initial state to a desired final state. The use of automated planning applied to manufacturing processes is gaining prominence in the academic sphere due to the potential to expand the use of techniques in real-world applications in modern industry. This work aims to primarily analyze data from the integration of automated planning solutions into real systems and describe a practical example based on a didactic plant that simulates a production line in a factory composed of individual cells. For the project's implementation, a programmable logic controller (PLC) was used as a model of real systems used in industrial automation, and the assembly and description steps of each station are presented. The language used for modeling the planning domain was the 'Planning Domain Definition Language' (PDDL), through the online platform 'PDDL Editor,' which is part of a set of online tools for AI Planning called 'Planning.Domains.' The modeling was distributed across five stations to facilitate solving the proposed problem for each station, thus generating five solution plans, one for each station. The results achieved from the domain modeling method in manufacturing using an online automated planning tool included the generation of solution plans for the proposed scenarios and practical implementation on the didactic bench using the 'Sequential Function Chart' (SFC) programming language. The proposed approach was compared with the classical approach, which concentrated programming logic on the PLC and used the Ladder programming language, highlighting the potential of using automated planning for Industry 4.0-related topics.
Análise termo fluidodinâmica de ambientes com ar-condicionado usando o código livre OpenFOAM

Ventilation, cooling and heating systems have become indispensable for occupied environments that demand thermal comfort. Thermal comfort has a direct impact on productivity, well-being, health and also on energy consumption, given that by reaching the ideal room temperature, the air conditioning reduces the compressor’s operating time. Computational Fluid Dynamics is an important tool for the study of fluid flows, because with its use it is possible to evaluate the behavior of a given fluid applied under conditions established by the user. At first, in the present research, a thermal comfort study is carried out, using the OpenFOAM software, under conditions similar to those of a reference article, in order to compare the results and validate the OpenFOAM algorithm. In the reference article, a proprietary software which requires the acquisition of a license was used, while OpenFOAM is a open source software. Therefore, this study opens opportunities for analysis of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems with the use of an accessible program, allowing the optimization of the climatization of a place. Next, the optimization of ventilation systems is evaluated through a factorial design that changes the air inlet and outlet positions, in addition to the insufflation speed. It is observed that the superior positions provided the best thermal comfort results, according to the Air Diffusion Performance Index (ADPI). Finally, the behavior of a air conditioner split Hi Wall type, based on ADPI, is investigated. The results provide information that ,for environments with an exhaust fan, lower the supply speed, greater the thermal comfort. As for environments without exhaustion, ADPI is better when the air intake velocity is higher.
Efeito do gás de proteção e de tratamento térmico no desgaste de revestimentos de inconel realizados pelo processo GMAW
(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2023-01-28) Kihara, Eliane Alves; Murray, Henara Lillian Costa; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8973820249465087; Ferreira Filho, Demóstenes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2814935331164390; Ferreira Filho, Demóstenes; Souza, Daniel; Murray, Henara Lillian Costa; Alano, José Henrique
In coastal and offshore installations, deterioration of materials due to corrosion can reduce reliability and increase the cost of maintaining engineered components. However, it is known that the surface properties of materials can be improved by applying protective coatings on the substrate, thus prolonging the useful life of engineering components in severe environments, it is worth mentioning the best costeffectiveness when performed with more noble materials, maintaining the body of the part in lower cost material, and providing sur-faces with desired properties at a more accessible cost. A nickel alloy commonly used in the coating process is Inconel 625, because, subjected to severe conditions, it has excellent mechanical properties and resistance to corrosion at elevated temperatures. Among the various coating techniques, arc welding processes are suitable methods due to their good deposition rate and reliability, but they limit the application with inert shielding gases. Thus, this work aims to evaluate the effect of shielding gas and heat treatment on the wear of coatings of Inconel 625 deposited by the GMAW process on a carbon steel surface with the intention of selecting the parameters that will provide better mechanical properties for applications in harsh environments providing improvements in maintenance and manufacturing costs. Coatings were carried out on A36 carbon steel plate with two mixtures of shielding gases (Ar + 25%CO2 and Ar +25%He), analysis was carried out on samples as welded and after heat treatment (heating for 1 h at 1000 °C and air cooling). To evaluate the coatings, Vickers hardness tests (HV), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersion spectrometer (EDS), wavelength dispersion spectrometry (WDS), confocal wear tests by the alternating sliding method were performed. between the flat surface and the spherical counter in saline solution (10% iodized salt). The samples that used He gas showed a higher wear rate compared to the samples that used CO2 gas, this result is attributed to the formation of Laves phase and surface embrittlement. As for the heat treatment in both gases, there was a reduction in segregation and a tendency to reduce the surface hardness and reduce the wear rate.

Additive Manufacturing by Arc Deposition (ADM) consists in the manufacture of metallic preforms from the deposition of multilayer weld beads on a substrate, that is, from a three dimensional model, the object is divided into layers defining the trajectories in which the addition of metal will be made, with the use of a robotic manipulator. This method has advantages such as a high deposition rate and the possibility of manufacturing parts of large proportions, compared with other methods. However it still requires studies to consolidate the technique and potential for improvement and development of new procedures, such as filling strategies and cooling processes between deposited layers. The objective of this work is to study the influence of the addition of cold wire in the MADA process, comparing it with the deposition made with a single wire, observing mechanical properties such as tensile strength, hardness, in addition to the cooling time for different interpass temperatures and the geometry of the manufactured parts. A GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) system was used coupled to a Motoman HP20 robotic manipulator, with multiple wires of 1.6 mm in diameter for the energized wire and 1.0 mm for the cold wire, both classified as ER70S-6. The feed speed of the cold and energized wires was 1.5 m/min and 3.0 m/min, respectively. To measure the temperature, an MLX90614ESF-DCI sensor was used, connected to an Arduino system. In addition, a mixture of Argon with 25% of Carbon dioxide was used as a shielding gas with a flow rate of 25 L/min. In order to manufacture the specimens for the tensile test, 20 layers were superimposed in a straight line, forming a wall, varying the interpass temperature between each layer, using 100ºC, 150ºC and directly, with no waiting interval between layers. The walls were made, later it was production of specimens for tensile tests was carried out, using a CNC machining center. In the preparation of the bodies for hardness tests, the same methodology was followed, followed by the sanding and polishing process. In general, a shorter cooling time was observed for the walls manufactured with the addition of cold wire when compared to depositions with a single wire. In addition, it was noted that the cold wire also influences the height and thickness of the pieces. In the mechanical tests, the cold wire did not significantly influence the hardness values. The highest values were found in the 100ºC samples. For the tensile tests, it was observed that, in general, the addition of cold wire tended to increase the maximum tensile strength of the samples.

Quenching is one of the most common methods of heat treatment and aims to increase the mechanical strength of the material by transforming austenite into martensite at high temperatures, followed by rapid cooling. The formation of martensite depends on various factors, such as the time the material is held at the austenitization temperature. In the context presented and with the aim of contributing to a better understanding of the microstructure evolution and mechanical behavior of stainless steels with different carbon contents, this study aimed to investigate the effect of austenitization time followed by quenching treatment. The materials studied were low carbon steel, commercially known as UNS S41003 or 410D, and medium carbon steel, commercially known as UNS S42000 or 420A. Two heat treatment conditions were studied, in the first one, the steels were austenitized at 1000 ℃ with varying austenitization time (5 min, 30 min, 60 min, 120 min, and 240 min) and then quenched in water, while in the second condition, the samples were annealed at 800 ℃ and then austenitized at 1000 ℃ with varying austenitization time (5 min, 30 min, 60 min, 120 min, and 240 min), and finally quenched in water. Thermodynamic simulations were performed using Matcalc software to evaluate the relative stability of phases and precipitates under equilibrium conditions. It was observed that both steels would be austenitized at 1000 ℃, and the carbides dissolved, however, it was identified that the carbide dissolution depends on the austenitization time when outside of equilibrium. Despite the low carbon content, austenitization of the 410D steel was possible due to the presence of austenitizing elements such as Ni, Mn, and N, thus, both steels showed a martensitic structure after the water quenching process. It was possible to observe that with an increase in austenitization time, the martensite lath increased due to the gradual increase in grain size. The distribution of the prior austenitic grain size was found to be heterogeneous for longer times, related to the dissolution of carbides. In addition to presenting a similar microstructural evolution, both steels also exhibited similar mechanical behavior, with the material softening as the grain size increased, associated with the freer dislocation movement with increasing austenitization time. Finally, the obtained data on prior austenitic grain size and hardness were treated with a 95% confidence level. It is believed that the results of this study provide a foundation for a better understanding of the austenitization time parameter in the heat treatment of stainless steels.

Changes in climate behavior over the years, accompanied by a strong increase in energy demand by countries around the world, have led authorities and researchers to improve the search for renewable, clean energy sources with low environmental impact. The development of vertical axis wind turbines is an assertive and efficient option, especially in places with low wind speeds and unavailability of large spaces. Then, the present work presents and analyzes the main fluid dynamic aspects related to vertical axis wind turbines. The objective is to investigate and estimate the performance parameters, as well as to evaluate the flow dynamics on these machines. For this, it is proposed to verify the applicability of the IMERSPEC methodology, responsible for numerical and computational modeling of these flows. It is a high-order convergence methodology with low computational cost, when compared to other high-order methodologies, resulting from the coupling of the Fourier pseudospectral method and the immersed boundary method. The imposition of the rotational movement on the turbine blades is guaranteed by a specific subroutine, implemented from a mathematical model, developed and presented in the present work. This subroutine, added to the computational platform together with the IMERSPEC methodology, contemplates the fluid-structure interaction between the turbine and the flow, allowing the estimation of performance coefficients, such as power, torque, normal force, tangential force, lift force and drag force. Initially, to validate the proposed methodology, two-dimensional flow simulations are carried out on a NACA 0012 airfoil for a Reynolds number equal to 1000. From the proposed numerical simulations, convergence and good agreement of the results presented in relation to the reference works are obtained. The behavior of the flow over the airfoil and the different modes of formation of the wakes are evaluated by the fields of velocity, pressure and vorticity, as a function of the angle of attack. Furthemore, to verify the accuracy and potentiality of the IMERSPEC methodology, an analysis is performed, therefore, for fluid dynamic problems in vertical axis turbines, still two-dimensional. The solidity of the turbine is investigated through the simulation of flows over turbines with one and three blades, composed by the airfoil NACA 0015. It also presents the influence of increasing the Reynolds number, between 100 and 1000, for flows over turbines of a single blade. In general, the results presented guarantee, with reliability and physical coherence, the applicability of the methodology in two-dimensional flows of this type.

Wind turbines suffer severe damage due to excessive wind loads or inadequate maintenance conditions, and catastrophic failures often occur causing huge losses. A structure, such as a wind turbine, can be monitored and evaluated through its modal characteristics, where natural frequencies, for example, are characteristics that are independent of operating conditions. They change only in case of damage, i.e. when stiffness and mass change. However, for the application of modal analysis, several sensors distributed in the structure are required, which involves high instrumentation costs. In view of this, it is proposed the use of modal analysis techniques integrated with virtual sensors, which, unlike real/physical sensors, are obtained through models. In this work, the virtual sensors are determined by using an artificial intelligence of the neural network type, which together with the modal analysis allows to obtain the modal characteristics: natural frequencies, modal shapes and damping. For this purpose, it is proposed to study a fixed Euler Bernoulli beam, an approximation model of a wind turbine, where the flow loads are generated through a wind tunnel with a speed controller. The flow velocities analyzed over the beam ranged from 10 to 20 m/s. The virtual sensor for operational modal analysis was modeled using a dynamic neural network where configurations of delay number and number of neurons in the hidden layer were investigated. In sequence, the modal characteristics of the Euler Bernoulli beam are compared using experimental modal analysis, situation in which the input is known and measured, and operational modal analysis, configuration where the input is unknown and not measured. For comparative analysis, the natural frequencies obtained in the different configurations and modal techniques showed good results when compared with the values of the Euler Bernoulli beam. For the modes, the Modal Assurance Criterion (MAC) was used, where when analyzing each independent result, the MAC returns excellent modal results, but when performing a comparative analysis of the different configurations and techniques, the MAC showed low correlation. Finally, the damping ratio showed an increase for higher flow velocities, but further investigations should be carried out in future works using other operational modal analysis techniques.

Classrooms have the function of promoting learning through oral communication and listening. Thus, one of the main characteristics that determine the success of this function is the acoustic quality of classrooms. Speech intelligibility is one of the most relevant parameters and can be improved by minimizing external noise and reducing reverberation. One tactic to decrease the reverberation of a room is to dampen sound energy by using absorbent materials such as: padded chairs, curtains, carpets, and sound absorbing panels (SAP). However, the influence of the positioning of the elements, especially the SAP, is little studied. For the experiments of the positions with the SAP, Room 108 was used, which is located in the Mechanical Engineering building, campus II of UFG and, based on ISO 3382-2, 2 distinct points were selected for the sound source and 6 distinct points for the receptor. The data obtained was analyzed by the analysis of variance technique, aiming at identifying the most significant factors for the acoustic performance of the environment, since the following work has the general objective of investigating the arrangement of sound absorption materials in classrooms, through the acoustic parameters obtained, such as Reverberation Time, Brightness, Bass Ratio, Clarity and Definition. The results showed that the higher frequencies provided better responses in all parameters. Furthermore, in general, it was observed that the configuration with slabs placed closer to the frame and further back in the room stood out as having the best acoustic performance for the room studied. On the other hand, the configuration with slabs only closer to the board showed the worst responses, thus being characterized as the worst layout for the same room.
