Energy education: Reflections over the last fifteen years
(2021-05-01)
Fifteen years after the publication of the article entitled “Energy Education: breaking up the rational energy use barriers” in 2004, what were the paths taken and scientific contributions made towards a rational energy ...
Brazilian sugarcane bagasse: Energy and non-energy consumption
(Pergamon-elsevier Science LtdOxfordInglaterra, 2012)
Urban sprawl and energy use for transportation in the largest Brazilian cities
(2007-09-01)
A study of the relationships between the amount of energy consumed for transportation purposes and a few selected variables related to urban form and socioeconomic characteristics of some of the largest Brazilian cities ...
Analysis of bistable and chaotic piezoelectric energy harvesting device coupled with diode bridge rectifier
(2015-01-01)
Vibration energy harvesting has greatly expanded over the last few years. While linear vibration-based energy harvesting has received considerable attention in the literature, some current research is focused on the concept ...
Modeling energy utilization in broiler breeders, laying hens and broilers
(Fundação APINCO de Ciência e Tecnologia Avícolas, 2004-03-01)
The factorial approach has been used to partition the energy requirements into maintenance, growth, and production. The coefficients determined for these purposes can be used to elaborate energy requirement models. These ...
Theoretical assessment of energy recovery from Beekeeping waste (Slumgum)
(2022-02-01)
An evaluation of the energy potential of organic waste called “slumgum,” generated in the bee-wax industry, is developed. The main objective is to determine whether this waste can be used as fuel to generate the steam ...
The need of subsidy for the implementation of photovoltaic solar energy as supporting of decentralized electrical power generation in Brazil
(2013-01-08)
The growing demand for electrical power and the limited capital invested to provide this power is forcing countries like Brazil to search for new alternatives for electrical power generation. The purpose of this paper is ...
Physic nut culture under irrigated system: An energy analysisAnálise energética do primeiro ano de cultivo do pinhão-manso em sistema irrigado por gotejamento
(2008-01-01)
Due to gradual reduction of oil reserves, energy alternatives have been studies and one of them is biodiesel. Physic nut (Jatropha curcas L.) is a potential culture for biodiesel. However, there are very few studies on ...
On an Active Control for a Structurally Nonlinear Mechanical System, Taking Into Account an Energy Pumping
(Asme-amer Soc Mechanical Eng, 2009-07-01)
The purpose of this work is to investigate the control of the oscillations and the suppression of vibrations in damped and coupled oscillators. In this sense, we look into the potential of using a nonlinear energy sink in ...
