Abstract In the present work the carbon footprint for a material developed in the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Urbanism of the Autonomous University of Tamaulipas (UAT) constituted by argillaceous earth, aloe juice and fiber of ixtle with utility like the inner coating of walls in buildings was determined. The objective of this paper is the calculation of the contribution of carbon dioxide (CO2) by the plant, considering the stoichiometry of CO2 absorption accompanied by the determination at the laboratory level. It was found that the use of organic materials in mortar mixtures, when they are produced manually by the person who will use them, and that is common in cases of self-construction, can generate approximately −0.45 kg of CO2 equivalent for each kilogram of plant produced for the preparation of mixtures. In addition, the equivalent CO2 was calculated for the elaboration of a cubic meter of useful mixture as a wall covering obtaining a value below the equivalent 14 kg of CO2.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) attracts host-seeking adult mosquitoes; this fact is exploited for mosquito monitoring, which is important for evaluating the effects of mosquito-control operations. A field experiment was designed to explore the relationship between the CO2 flow rate and the trapping effect of BG traps. The aim was to select an appropriate flow rate for monitoring Aedes albopictus. Six sampling sites were selected for field experiments in Hangzhou city, Zhejiang Province, China. A total of six CO2 flow rates (0.00 L/min, 0.075 L/min, 0.15 L/min, 0.30 L/min, 0.60 L/min and 1.20 L/min) were tested to compare their effects on mosquito trapping. The catches were performed in six trapping periods between 15:30 and 18:30, and each catch period lasted 0.5 h. A total of 3068 adult mosquitoes were captured at six sampling sites in six days using BG traps (with BG-Sweetscent), among which 86.96% were Ae. albopictus. The total number of Ae. albopictus (males and females) captured at a flow rate of 0.00 L/min was significantly lower than the numbers captured at 0.075 L/min, 0.15 L/min, 0.30 L/min, 0.60 L/min and 1.20 L/min (P<0.001, P<0.001, P<0.001, P<0.001, and P<0.001 respectively). The total number of Ae. albopictus captured and the number of Ae. albopictus females captured increased with increasing CO2 flow and peaked at 0.3 L/min, above which these capture numbers did not increase significantly. In conclusion, the appropriate CO2 flow rate for monitoring Ae. albopictus with BG traps was 0.3 L/min.

A Belleville washer can be best described as a non flat washer with a conical shape and a uniform cross section. They are also known as disk springs and as the name suggests they are often utilised for their load bearing capabilities. Due to their compactness along the axis of loading and a wide range of attainable load-deflection characteristics they are an attractive alternative to conventional springs. Though Belleville washers are primarily used for their load bearing capabilities, they can also be used to build a damping device; which in turn can be used as part of a suspension system. The non linear deflection of the spring makes it difficult to predict the resulting pressure-flow characteristic and as a result the damper pack is built either by an experienced operative or by a trial and improvement method. Without an analytical tool to predict the behaviour a designer cannot exploit the full functionality of this type of spring. The intension of this paper is to present research undertaken to develop a correlation which describes the pressure drop required for various flow rates when using Belleville washers as damping elements. Using existing load-deflection theory an initial model was developed to relate load with pressure and deflection with flow area which could be used to estimate flow rate. The solutions from a computer simulation showed similar trends to those found in the experimental study, but they estimated smaller pressure drops for a given flow rate. It was postulated that the exit velocity of the fluid created a region of low pressure which tended to close the opening and thus increase the pressure drop. This hypothesis was examined and confirmed with a computational fluid dynamic simulation and the results were used to modify the existing model. Analysis of the new model showed good agreement with the experimental study.

Carbon Dioxide Co2

A large Research and Development programme has been executed by National Grid to determine the feasibility of transporting carbon dioxide (CO2) by pipeline. Such pipelines would be required to form a transportation system to take the CO2 from its place of capture at an emitter’s site to a place of safe storage within a Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) scheme. This programme received financial support from the European Union. As part of this programme, National Grid commissioned a series of experimental studies to investigate the behaviour of releases of CO2 mixtures in the gaseous and the liquid (or dense) phase. This has included simulating accidental releases in the form of punctures or ruptures of a buried pipeline and deliberate releases through different venting arrangements. This work is required, as CO2 has the potential to cause some harm to people if they are exposed to it for long enough at high concentrations. This paper gives an overview of the findings from this work and shows how the data has been used to help develop a number of the more pragmatic, predictive models for outflow and dispersion. This work complements the more theoretical studies carried out using state of the art advanced computational fluid dynamic models, employed by other UK based participants (University College London, University of Leeds, Kingston University and the University of Warwick) in the research programme.

The aim of this study was to investigate and quantify contributions of kinetic energy and viscous dissipation to airway resistance during inspiration and expiration at various flow rates in airway models of different bifurcation angles. We employed symmetric airway models up to the 20th generation with the following five different bifurcation angles at a tracheal flow rate of 20 L/min: 15 deg, 25 deg, 35 deg, 45 deg, and 55 deg. Thus, a total of ten computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations for both inspiration and expiration were conducted. Furthermore, we performed additional four simulations with tracheal flow rate values of 10 and 40 L/min for a bifurcation angle of 35 deg to study the effect of flow rate on inspiration and expiration. Using an energy balance equation, we quantified contributions of the pressure drop associated with kinetic energy and viscous dissipation. Kinetic energy was found to be a key variable that explained the differences in airway resistance on inspiration and expiration. The total pressure drop and airway resistance were larger during expiration than inspiration, whereas wall shear stress and viscous dissipation were larger during inspiration than expiration. The dimensional analysis demonstrated that the coefficients of kinetic energy and viscous dissipation were strongly correlated with generation number. In addition, the viscous dissipation coefficient was significantly correlated with bifurcation angle and tracheal flow rate. We performed multiple linear regressions to determine the coefficients of kinetic energy and viscous dissipation, which could be utilized to better estimate the pressure drop in broader ranges of successive bifurcation structures.

Reduction Of Co2

Biogas adalah salah satu sumber energi terbarukan yang dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai pengganti energi fosil. Biogas sebagian besar mengandung metan (CH4) dan karbon dioksida (CO2). Kandungan CO2 pada biogas mengurangi efisiensi pada proses pembakaran dan dapat menyebabkan korosi pada komponen-komponen logam yang kontak langsung dengan biogas. Pemurnian biogas dengan absorpsi merupakan suatu cara untuk menurunkan kadar CO2 yang terkandung, dan meningkatkan kandungan CH4 pada biogas sehingga biogas yang dihasilkan dapat digunakan sebagai bahan bakar. Penelitian ini ditujukkan untuk mempelajari pengaruh konsentrasi monoethanolamine (MEA) dan laju alir absorben terhadap penurunan kadar CO2 yang terkandung dalam biogas. Proses absorpsi CO2 dilakukan pada scrubber tipe spray tower, scrubber yang digunakan pada penelitian ini berbahan akrilik dengan diameter 64 mm, panjang scrubber 750 mm, tinggi packing pada scrubber 500 mm dan dengan kapasitas 1.5 m3. Laju alir biogas yang digunakan 26 L/menit dengan variasi laju alir larutan MEA sebesar 0,5, 1 dan 1,5 L/menit dan variasi konsentrasi larutan MEA sebesar 1, 3, 5, dan 7M. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pada laju alir larutan MEA 1,5 L/menit dengan konsentrasi larutan MEA 7M dapat menurunkan CO2 dari 8,53% menjadi 0,10%, dan dapat meningkatkan kandungan metana (CH4) dari 69,24% menjadi 81,20%.Biogas is a renewable energy source that can be used as a substitute for fossil energy. Biogas mostly contains methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The content CO2 in biogas reduces the efficiency of the combustion process and cause corrosion in metal components when direct contact with biogas. Biogas purification using absorption method can reduce levels of CO2 contained and increase levels of CH4  then the biogas produced can be used as fuel. This research study the effect of monoethanolamine (MEA) concentration and absorbent flow rate on the reduction of CO2 contained in biogas. CO2 absorption process is carried out by a spray tower type scrubber. It consisted of an acrylic absorption column (64 mm in diameter, 750 mm in height, 500 mm in packing height and 1.5 m3 in capacity). Biogas flow rate used is 26 L/min with variation of the flow rate of MEA 0.5, 1, and 1,5 L/min and concentration of MEA solution 1, 3, 5, and 7M. The results showed that the flow rate of MEA 1.5 L/min with a concentration of 7M MEA solution can reduce CO2 from 8.53% to 0.10% and can increase the methane (CH4) load from 69.24% to 81.20%.

Abstract Water flow in cooling channels was simulated using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code CFX4. Pressure drop in the cooling channels of the coupled-cavity linac (CCL) cavity was calculated. The effects of the manifold on the pressure drop were studied also. Reducing the pressure drop was a primary goal of this exercise that led to changing the cooling channel entrance regions. Results of this analysis were used in sizing pumps required for the cooling system. For the validation of the simplified numerical model, an experiment was performed to measure the pressure drop in the cooling channels for variable flow rate, using a flow loop. Deionized water was circulated through the test section with a pump and its flow rate was monitored with a turbine flow meter. Pressure was monitored with pressure transducers at five locations including a differential pressure transducer across the test section, and water temperature was taken at the exit of the pump. Pressure drop across the inlet and outlet of the test section was measured and recorded for different flow rates. Flow rate was also monitored and stored simultaneously. From the recorded data, an empirical correlation was derived to describe the pressure drop, dp, as a function of flow rate through the four cooling channels.
