Fuels such as biodiesel have been gaining popularity as an alternative fuel. The study deals with the evaluation of the performance and emissions of a generator engine operating with diesel and biodiesel blends, assisted by an industrial automation system used in Industry 4.0. The experiment was carried out in the laboratories of the State University of West Paraná. The energy generated, the specific consumptio...
In the breeding of broiler house, the proper use of lighting systems has great influence on the welfare and the productivity of the birds. The objective was to evaluate two artificial lighting systems used in broiler house in terms of the allocative efficiency of luminance. One of the broiler house was closed with black raffia bag (dark house), without thermal insulation (NTI) and its lighting was composed of i...
The global economy is directly dependent on fossil fuels, consuming a total of approximately 70% of these energy sources. However, renewable energies, especially biofuels produced by biomass, are gaining ground, with emphasis on elephant grass, which has been standing out in the production of bioethanol in Brazil. However, before fermentation takes place for the production of bioethanol, the biomass must underg...
This experiment aimed to analyze the temperature behavior of photovoltaic modules, with the efficiency of the on-grid photovoltaic system, installed at the State University of West Paraná - UNIOESTE, campus of Cascavel, Paraná. The photovoltaic system consists of two ropes, with a total power of 3.3 kWp. In the first period, it was found that the panel kept clean (Panel 2), during data collection, reached a hig...
