1. Mathematical Modeling of the Transesterification Reaction by Finite Elements: Optimization of Kinetic Parameters Using the Simplex Sequential Method
The use of biodiesel as fuel has been presented as a viable alternative in the search for renewable energies. It can be produced from the transesterification reaction of vegetable oils with methanol in the presence of sodium or potassium hydroxide as catalysts. In the present research, the transesterification reaction of soybean oil was modeled considering t

3. MONITORAMENTO DA COMPOSIÇÃO EM ÉSTERES DO BIODIESEL DO ÓLEO DE AMÊNDOA DA MACAÚBA (Acrocomia aculeata (Jacq.) Lodd. ex Mart.) EM CONTATO DIRETO COM O AÇO CARBONO E O AÇO CARBONO GALVANIZADO
The oil from the macaúba (Acrocomia aculeata) fruit, a native palm in Brazil, has a real potential for the industrial production of biodiesel. This report describes an experimental work devoted to monitor the chemical behavior of the fatty acid methyl esters from oil of the macaúba fruit kernel and the leaching of metal elements into the biodiesel put in c

4. Effect of blisters and rims on radial hydride precipitation in fuel elements under dry storage conditions
ABSTRACT Hydrogen enters in Zry clads during fuel element life in service; when hydrogen exceeds the terminal solid solubility, circumferential hydrides are precipitated. In the presence of thermal gradients, produced for instance by oxide spallation, localized concentration of hydrides - known as blisters - can be formed. Due to the fact that zirconium hydr

5. Fases identificables en la zona de interacción de placas combustibles dispersas U3Si2/Al
ABSTRACT Fuel elements based on U3Si2 particles dispersed in a pure Al matrix (known as dispersion fuel element) are known to be very stable under irradiation, in plate type configurations. For this reason, they were or are being used to convert to low enriched uranium a large number of research reactors without significant loss in performance. According to

7. CERIUM INCORPORATED INTO A MESOPOROUS MOLECULAR SIEVE (MCM-41)
Abstract The synthesis and characterization of a mesoporous molecular sieve (MCM-41) was studied due to its high surface area and large pore volume and to target potential applications in adsorption and catalysis. Rare earth elements have special chemical properties and are efficient promoters for supports. In this study, a mesoporous molecular sieve that in

8. Trajectory Control During an Aeroassisted Maneuver Between Coplanar Circular Orbits
ABSTRACT: This paper presents the simulation results of an aeroassisted maneuver around the Earth, between coplanar circular orbits, from a geostationary orbit to a low orbit. The simulator developed considers a reference trajectory and a trajectory perturbed by external disturbances combined with non-idealities of sensors and actuators. It is able to operat

9. Interdiffusion studies on hot rolled U-10Mo/AA1050
The U-Mo alloys are investigated with the goal to become nuclear material to fabricate high-density fuel elements for high performance research reactors. The enrichment level (20% 235U) suggests that the U-Mo alloys should be between 6 to 10 wt. (%), which can reach up to 9 gU.cm-3 in fuel density. Nevertheless, the U-Mo alloys are very reactive with Al. Int

10. Aplicação de métodos não destrutivos para qualificação de combustíveis tipo dispersão de U308-Al e U3Si2-Al no reator IEA-R1 / Application of non-destructive methods for qualification of the U3O8-Al and U3Si2-Al dispersion fuels in the IEA-R1 Reactor
IPEN/CNEN-SP manufactures fuels to be used in its nuclear research reactor the IEA-R1. To qualify those fuels, it is necessary to check if they have a good performance under irradiation. As Brazil doesnt have nuclear research reactors with high neutron fluxes, or suitable hot cells for carrying out post-irradiation examination of nuclear fuels, IPEN/CNEN-SP

11. Procedimento de fabricação de elementos combustível a base de dispersão com alta concentração de urânio / Fabrication procedures for manufacturing high uranium concentration dispersion fuel elements
IPEN-CNEN/SP developed the technology to produce the dispersion type fuel elements for research reactors and made it available for routine production. Today, the fuel produced in IPEN-CNEN/SP is limited to the uranium concentration of 3.0 gU/cm3 for U3Si2-Al dispersion-based and 2.3 gU/cm3 for U3O8-Al dispersion. The increase of uranium concentration in fuel

12. Serrapilheira aplicada como biomonitor na avaliação do bosque urbano do Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares, São Paulo,SP / Litterfall as biomonitors applied the evaluation of urban forest of the Nuclear and Energy Research Institute, São Paulo, SP
Several processes are considered responsible for ecosystems maintaining. Among them we can highlight mineral cycling that corresponds to the cycle of chemical elements that flow between the biotic compartments, leaves and litterfall, and abiotic, atmosphere and soil. These chemical elements accumulate of the active form through the absorption in the tissues
