The Paraíba Valley region in the state of São Paulo has been recurrently affected by peat fires that require attention to the population by the Secretary of Health, Secretary of Environment and Fire Department. In this project peat burning in São José dos Campos will be studied and characterized.Peatlands will be sampled and their physicochemical characteristics evaluated. With this infor…
The project is proposed based around demonstrations of the applicability of our capabilities to DI-DF with the objective of obtaining more significant future projects in collaboration with industry and research agencies in our respective countries. Specifically, we aim to demonstrate the capability to make laser-based measurements relevant to DF-Dl in our high pressure chamber, and to val…

The objective of this project is the development and analysis of internal combustion engines models operating with natural gas and diesel mixtures. There are demands for engines operating with natural gas in the thermoeletric and hybrid propulsion systems for ships segments, however, there is not enough knowledge and data about the emissions of the unburned gases in dual fuel engines. The…
The development of the energy matrix in Brazil was determined through a guideline on biofuel consumption by the Proálcool program created in 1975. For this reason, the improvement of combustion technology for this fuel has become fundamental, as it was the way chosen for the transition from fossil fuel consumption to clean energy. Fluid velocity measurement techniques are widely used, the…
This project has as a primary objective the theoretical study and the numeric implementation of mathematical models dedicated to the evaluation of the vapor liquid equilibrium to the simulation of the evaporation of multicomponent droplets. Emphasis is given to fuel mixtures of water-ethanol and to application in spray combustion processes. This study justifies itself since it contributes…

Wildland fires are a continuous occurring threat to people and properties in many places around the world. Many institutions in the United States, Europe and Australia are carrying out studies to understand and predict the behavior of such events supported by advanced computer models. Forest fire understanding constitutes one of the most complex physical phenomena recently studied. The pr…
