Este experimento teve como objetivo analisar o comportamento da diferença de geração entre uma usina fotovoltaica utilizando o sistema de rastreamento solar (Tracker) em comparação com um sistema Fixo voltado ao norte. Ambas as usinas instaladas na região de Cascavel - Paraná. O sistema consiste em duas usinas on-grid de 300kW com 810 módulos de 500wP. No primeiro período de coleta de dados no mês novembro e de...
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...
Crambe is serving as alternative oilseed for biodiesel production, however, there are still impediments to commercial expansion because need more information about adequate fertilization. The study aimed evaluating adequate nitrogen rate applied in topdressing, associated with leaf molybdenum in crambe crop under field conditions. Treatments were four nitrogen rates (0, 40, 80 and 120 kg N ha-1) and two rates o...
This work aimed to determine the solar energy available in different inclinations and orientations of roofs of buildings in the four seasons, using data of Global Solar Irradiation in the horizontal plane, temperatures, and wind speed. The inclined hourly solar irradiation and the energy generated by photovoltaic systems of different capacities installed in Cascavel-PR were simulated, with different orientation...
Oil crops are important in the Brazilian agricultural sector, both for food production (grains, oil, and bran), pharmaceuticals and biofuels. One of the criteria for the improvement of technologies to develop products with superior quality and added value has been through the nutritional parameter. In this way, it is important to improve the continuous mechanical pressing process in order to obtain the optimum ...
A produção e qualidade das rosas são influenciadas pelo manejo da adubação. Objetivou-se com este experimento, avaliar os efeitos de doses de ferro (Fe) na produção de roseiras (Rosa hybrida) cultivadas em vasos. Os tratamentos foram constituídos de cinco doses de Fe (0, 1, 3, 5 e 15mg kg -1 ) aplicadas no substrato, em delineamento de blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições. As mudas apresentavam dois pares...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2017-01-01; Due to its origin and hardiness, safflower is usually cultivated in low-fertility soils with few inputs and no irrigation. In Brazil, little is known about its response to nitrogen (N) and irrigation. This study was carried out near the city of Engenheiro Coelho, SP, Brazil, in 2014, in order to determi...
Made available in DSpace on 2018-12-11T17:29:39Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-12-30; Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) has gained importance as an oilseed crop due to its hardiness and oil, which can be used in the production of biofuels. Studying proper crop management methods is highly important for the development of safflower in Brazil, since applying fertilizers correctly and usi...
Urbanization and disorderly occupation of urban areas have created several environmental problems, such as floods. Among the main causes of these problems is soil sealing associated with urban sprawl. Impervious surfaces provide less precipitation to recharge catchment basins by diverting water that should be restored in that region to other basins. This study compares two existing paving systems: concrete pave...
Frying oil is one of the major environmental problems in urban centers, causing blockage of sewer pipes and pollution of rivers. Producing biodiesel with frying oil is an alternative to reduce the environmental impacts generated in the undue discarding of the same. Because it has high calorific power, great availability, low emission of pollutants when burned, besides being renewable, which guarantees its unin...
