With the advancement of technology, sensors have been developed for various applications, including detecting leaks in water distribution networks. This work aims to propose a low-cost system for detecting leaks in water networks. The tests were carried out in a simulated network at the Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics Laboratory of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Urbanism at UNICAMP, where sensors were installed to measure flow, water level, noise, turbidity, temperature and an extensometer. Real-time readings were received and processed by a microcontroller board (Arduino UNO), and sent to a web page (PHP language) via a Wi-Fi module (ESP8266). An application was also developed, in Java language, to visualize the readings obtained. In laboratory tests, the sensors proved suitable for detecting leaks and triggering audible and visual alarms in the event of leaks

Este trabalho operou um reator piloto, instalado em uma estação de tratamento de esgoto sanitário real. O reator contou com leito fixo empacotado de Biobob®, estrutura em polietileno de alta densidade com poliuretano expandido, volume total de 5,65m3 e útil de 3,20m3 e fluxo ascendente. O objetivo do reator foi a remoção de Nitrogênio Total via Nitrificação e Desnitrificação Simultânea e remoção de DQO. O reator operou com aeração intermitente e TDH de 10, 12 e 20h, a alimentação ocorreu com substratos nas razões 1:1 (v:v) esgoto bruto/efluente de UASB; e efluente do UASB. O reator suportou as variações de carga da ETE, adversidades comuns de sistemas em larga escala. A etapa E2 - alimentação bruto:UASB, se destacou com média de remoção de N de 55% e remoção média de DQO em 81%. As imagens obtidas por MEV demonstraram que houve sinergia entre bactérias nitrificantes, desnitrificantes e arqueas metanogênicas.

The burning of rice husks produces natural silica and generates charcoal with excellent properties for the adsorption of different pollutants. The objective of this study was to enhance the adsorption properties of this industrial residue from burning rice husk through acid and base purifications. The raw coal (RC) was initially modified with HCl(aq.) and then with NaOH(aq.), and subsequently renamed MC. Efficiency was verified by the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) dye, considering a concentration of 10 mg L-1, dosage of 0.05 g L-1, pH 6.7, and 120 min. MB removal was 78% for RC and 97% for MC, with experimental capacities of 144.78 mg g-1 and 180.78 mg g-1, respectively. The kinetics were better adjusted by Avrami (R2 0.99, error <2.8%). The properties of charcoal improved with the modification, presenting a more porous structure, greater surface area and functional groups that contributed to adsorption, proving that simple purification methods, such as acid-base purification, can be crucial for waste reuse.

Red mud is the solid waste from bauxite processing during aluminium production. Its inadequate disposal causes social, economic and environmental prejudices. The industrial solid waste insertion evaluation in the production chain is beneficial and necessary. This work aims to evaluate the mechanical performance of asphalt mixtures produced with red mud as filling material. Asphalt mixtures with 5% and 7% red mud were produced, and permanent deformation and moisture-induced damage tests were carried out. A mixture without red mud addition (control) was produced for comparison. The results showed that the mixtures with red mud presented permanent deformation resistance greater than the control one, with more than 40% reduction in rutting deformation. The moisture damage did not significantly affect the mixtures tested. The red mud application as a filler in asphalt mixtures is viable and can be an alternative to reduce the damage such a waste can cause to the environment.

This study is dedicated to the examination of cavitation-induced erosion, a critical factor in optimizing the efficiency of hydraulic systems, including hydropower plants and pumping systems. To accomplish this, we conducted a sensitivity analysis utilizing a cavitation jet apparatus (CJA) and an experimental configuration that featured a vertical cylindrical test tank, a submerged nozzle, and an aluminum sample (specifically, alloy 6351 T6). The study maintained a consistent standoff distance of 5 cm and an orifice diameter of 2 × 10-3 m. Two distinct nozzle geometries were tested to assess their influence on cavitation erosion. The outcomes revealed that the 20° conical sharped-edges nozzle resulted in the highest erosion rates, while the commercial nozzle (MEG 2510) caused comparatively less erosion. By standardizing the test duration to 1200 seconds and using a cavitation index of 0.14, the researchers avoided overlapping pits. In summary, the CJA, with these adjustments, demonstrated its effectiveness as a tool for evaluating the resistance of solid surfaces to cavitation.

In this work, low molecular weight chitosan was used to adsorb the herbicide glyphosate in aqueous solution. Considering the possibilities of remediation and monitoring in aquatic environments, chitosan was formatted into thin discs 0.8 mm thick and 2.5 cm in diameter. The films were characterized by SEM, EDS and FTIR. In the adsorption study, a chitosan disc was able to adsorb 100% of a 5 mgL-1 glyphosate solution. Pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and Elovich kinetic models were applied and it was found that chemisorption predominates in the adsorption process. Thus, chitosan films can act very well as a material for remediating water bodies contaminated by glyphosate. For monitoring studies, the possibility of using chitosan films in DGT (Diffusive Gradients in Thin Films) technique was verified and the diffusive material used was 1.5% agarose film (m/v). The diffusion coefficient of glyphosate in the agarose gel was determined 7.94 x 10-10 m2s-1.

This article demonstrates the successful application of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) recurrent neural networks to simulate streamflow in the Aquidauana River basin, located in the Brazilian Pantanal. The LSTM network used daily precipitation data as input to predict future streamflow in the region. The results obtained from this research show a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.82, indicating a strong fit of the model to the observed data. Additionally, the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) was found to be 0.53, indicating the model's accuracy in predicting streamflow compared to actual data. These findings highlight the effectiveness of LSTM networks in hydrological modeling for the Pantanal region, which is crucial for water resource planning and sustainable management in this ecologically significant area. This study is expected to serve as a catalyst for further research and make a substantial contribution to the advancement of streamflow prediction techniques in complex watersheds such as the Aquidauana River basin.

Um reator UASB em pequena escala foi modelado para avaliar seu comportamento hidrodinâmico e comparar simulações de CFD com resultados experimentais obtidos em escala de laboratório. Foram realizadas simulações usando o Ansys® CFXTM com duas taxas de fluxo diferentes: A) 26,68 e B) 4,0 l d-1. O volume do reator era de 1,5 litros, com um volume útil de 1,38 litros. Além das simulações de CFD, foram realizados testes hidrodinâmicos com injeção de traçador, tanto experimentalmente quanto nas simulações. Foram obtidas curvas de distribuição do tempo de residência (RTD) e o modelo de número de tanques em série (NTIS) foi usado para determinação do comportamento hidrodinâmico. Os valores de NTIS calculados usando simulações de CFD foram 5,55 e 4,76, para as taxas de fluxo A e B, respectivamente. Para a análise experimental, os valores de NTIS foram 6,67 e 5,54, para as taxas de fluxo A e B, respectivamente. O teste U de Mann-Whitney foi realizado para confirmar a similaridade entre as simulações de CFD e os testes experimentais. Os resultados do teste U de Mann-Whitney não mostraram diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre as simulações de CFD e os dados experimentais. Pode-se concluir que as simulações de CFD são válidas e podem ser usadas para analisar o comportamento hidrodinâmico dos reatores UASB.

Precipitation forecasting is essential for sectors such as water resources management and urban planning. In this study, a deep learning model was developed to predict rainfall in Brazilian cities, focusing on the municipality of Barra Mansa, Rio de Janeiro. Four neural network architectures were tested: FCN, Resnet, ResCNN and InceptionTime. Among them, FCN stood out significantly, presenting the lowest error rates and the best overall adjustment. The study highlights the ability of deep learning, especially through the FCN (Fully Convolutional Network - Segmented) architecture, to make accurate predictions and uncover hidden rainfall patterns. Such discoveries have great potential to improve rainfall forecasting systems and assist in decision-making in areas that require accurate climate information.

Such discoveries have great potential to improve rainfall forecasting systems and assist in decision-making in areas that require accurate climate information.","PeriodicalId":13167,"journal":{"name":"Holos","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139175914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
