Este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar a viabilidade econômica de geração de energia eólica na área urbana de Cascavel – PR, com a finalidade de atender a demanda de uma residência unifamiliar. O experimento foi realizado por meio da coleta e análise de dados de desempenho de uma turbina eólica de pequeno porte da marca Greatwatt, modelo S-600, instalada no Centro de Análise de Sistemas Alternativos (CASA), d...
O objetivo do trabalho foi a utilização de um sistema de bombeamento de água para irrigação por gotejamento. O sistema foi instalado no projeto CASA (Centro de Análises de Sistemas Alternativos). A energia usada para o bombeamento foi obtida por meio de um painel fotovoltaico de pequeno porte de eixo horizontal da Greatwatt instalado sobre uma torre autoportante e uma bomba d’água Shurflo modelo 8000. Os ensaio...
O balanço hídrico climatológico (BHC) é uma das formas de monitorar o armazenamento de água no solo, sendo uma ferramenta essencial no planejamento estratégico agrícola. Deste modo, conhecer a época de maior disponibilidade e a de déficit hídrico torna-se importante para auxiliar na tomada de decisão sobre o planejamento agrícola em um determinado local. Contribui para que na fase de planejamento, novas barrage...
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...
The city of Cascavel-PR has shown, over the years, an accelerated population growth in the urban area, thus increasing environmental problems and exposing the deficiencies in public policies for basic sanitation and the environment. In order to minimize the environmental impacts of these areas, a correct management of the watershed is necessary. The objective of this study was the analysis of how population gro...
Burning any organic material can generate chemical compounds called PHA's, which has carcinogenic and mutagenic potential. This fact is especially important in the drying processes of agricultural products that are directly or indirectly used in food or feed. In order to verify the potential risk of contamination by PHA's, and of new equipment linked to the operation of drying agricultural products, the study e...
Solar energy is a clean and renewable energy production option and can be applied to pumping water. Pumping water with photovoltaic solar energy is one of the technologies that has stood out in the country. In this context, the work aimed to evaluate the different methods of a drip irrigation system as a function of the use of an indoor amorphous photovoltaic pumping system, without electrical energy storage. T...
Among the types of production systems applied in aquaculture, the biofloc culture system (BTF) has been gaining space due to its sustainable techniques. Noteworthy is the low or zero renewal of water, the formation of the microorganism population predominantly autotrophic and heterotrophic, resulting in microbial flakes. Taking into consideration the effectiveness of the system in tilapia farming, this work aim...
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...
In the no-tillage system, soils generally exhibit some degree of compaction that limits agricultural production. In this scenario, the use of soil cover plants is one of the alternatives capable of improving the structural quality of the soil and increasing the productivity of crops, such as soybeans. In the context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of plant cover species and management sy...
