Simulation of thermal plant optimization and hydraulic aspects of thermal distribution loops for large campuses
No full textFollowing an introduction, the author describes Texas A&M University and its utilities system. After that, the author presents how to construct simulation models for chilled water and heating hot water distribution systems. The simulation model was used in a $2.3 million Ross Street chilled water pipe replacement project at Texas A&M University. A second project conducted at the University of Texas at San Antonio was used as an example to demonstrate how to identify and design an optimal distribution system by using a simulation model. The author found that the minor losses of these closed loop thermal distribution systems are significantly higher than potable water distribution systems. In the second part of the report, the author presents the latest development of software called the Plant Optimization Program, which can simulate cogeneration plant operation, estimate its operation cost and provide optimized operation suggestions. The author also developed detailed simulation models for a gas turbine and heat recovery steam generator and identified significant potential savings. Finally, the author also used a steam turbine as an example to present a multi-regression method on constructing simulation models by using basic statistics and optimization algorithms. This report presents a survey of the author??s working experience at the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) at Texas A&M University during the period of January 2002 through March 2004. The purpose of the above work was to allow the author to become familiar with the practice of engineering. The result is that the author knows how to complete a project from start to finish and understands how both technical and nontechnical aspects of a project need to be considered in order to ensure a quality deliverable and bring a project to successful completion. This report concludes that the objectives of the internship were successfully accomplished and that the requirements for the degree of Degree of Engineering have been satisfied

Intern experience at CH���M Hill, Inc.: an internship report
No full textIncludes author's vita"Submitted to the College of Engineering of Texas A&M University in partial
fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Engineering."Includes bibliographical referencesA review of the author's internship experience with CH���M HILL, Inc.
during the period September 1975 through May 1976 is presented. During this nine month
internship the author worked as an Engineer II in the Industrial Processes discipline of this
large consulting engineering firm... The author's prime responsibility was as one of three
lead design engineers on the design of a large wastewater treatment facility for a pulp mill
in Hoquiam, Washington owned by ITT Rayonier Inc. The work generally consisted of the design
of individual treatment units and associated piping and pumping. The purpose of the project
was to provide wastewater treatment capabilities that would satisfy the effluent limitations
(standards) imposed upon the mill by the State of Washington Department of Ecology and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The author's assignment also entailed necessary
interaction with the project manager and other CH���M HILL design engineers and support staff
members, the client's representatives, and representatives of two other consulting engineering
firms working on the project. Thus, the internship position at CH���M HILL provided considerable
experience coordinating the author's work with the work of other engineers, guiding the design
and administrative efforts of a support staff, and interacting regularly with the client and
other consulting firms. This broad exposure to a variety of engineering and organizational
problems provided a valuable educational experience
Intern experience at the Texas Transportation Institute: an internship report
No full text"Submitted to the College of Engineering of Texas A&M University in partial
fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Engineering."Includes vita (leaf 91)Includes bibliographical references (leaf 57)This report discusses the author's engineering experience at the Texas
Transportation Institute (TTI), Texas A&M University from March 1974 through July 1977. A
report of this experience plus twelve additional hours of academic course work were
substituted for an internship according to requirements established by the College of
Engineering. Although the author could not retroactively establish objectives of the type
associated with a typical internship, the work experience gained could be related to the two
general objectives of an intership: 1. To demonstrate an identifiable contribution to the
organization in which the intern served, and 2. To enable the intern to become aware of the
non-technical aspects of working as an engineer in a non-academic environment. While a member
of the Texas Transportation Institute staff, the author worked on a number of projects in the
areas of highway traffic engineering research and the preparation of continuing education
courses for transportation engineering officials. These assignments were contained within the
Urban Transportation Systems Division of TTI. This report delineates the author's contribution
to four particular projects and discusses the technical as well as non-technical experience
gained from each. Having been exposed to more engineering situations than many of the other
Doctor of Engineering students, the author has already formulated some rather specific
milestones for the future. The Doctor of Engineering program is discussed in conjunction with
its potential for helping the author attain these career goals and objectives. Also, some
thoughts are presented regarding the Doctor of Engineering as a viable alternative to the
Ph.D. in preparing for a career in engineering higher education
Brasil visto do exterior: a percepção de instituições internacionais quanto ao potencial do agronegócio brasileiro.
No full textO comércio de produtos agrícolas está provando ser uma ferramenta-chave de negociação entre países em conflitos políticos. O caso mais emblemático, atualmente, se relaciona às tensas negociações político-comerciais entre EUA e China. Caso os dois países encontrem motivos comuns, a China provavelmente aumentaria as importações de produtos agrícolas dos EUA, à custa de fornecedores alternativos que vêm ganhando participação de mercado nos últimos anos. Entretanto, se as tensões comerciais entre a China e os EUA deteriorarem a relação comercial entre as partes e ambos imponham tarifas ou barreiras não tarifárias aos produtos oriundos de cada um desses países, notadamente se a China penalizar as importações agrícolas dos EUA, é muito provável que estes perderiam significativamente o boom contínuo das importações chinesas. ? A percepção externa sobre o real potencial do agronegócio brasileiro como força econômica global é o foco desta nota. Analisa-se o estágio atual de alguns produtos prioritários do agronegócio de nosso país, com destaque para grãos, todo o segmento produtivo de carnes, laticínios, algodão e café. A nota está fundamentada em recentes relatórios publicados por instituições de alta respeitabilidade internacional, como a Fitch Solutions, pertencente à agência de risco Fitch Group, e a Rabo- Research Food & Agribusiness, pertencente ao grupo Rabobank. Fitch Solutions (2018) destaca a evolução do valor de mercado do agronegócio e seu crescimento anual, de 2003 até 2022
The long-wavelength view of GG Tau A: rocks in the ring world
No full textWe present the first detection of GG Tau A at centimetre wavelengths, made with the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager Large Array at a frequency of 16 GHz (λ = 1.8 cm). The source is detected at >6 σrms with an integrated flux density of S16GHz = 249 ± 45 µJy. We use these new centimetre-wave data, in conjunction with additional measurements compiled from the literature, to investigate the long-wavelength tail of the dust emission from this unusual protoplanetary system. We use an MCMC-based method to determine maximum likelihood parameters for a simple parametric spectral model and consider the opacity and mass of the dust contributing to the microwave emission. We derive a dust mass of Md ~ 0.1 Msun, constrain the dimensions of the emitting region and find that the opacity index at λ > 7 mm is less than unity, implying a contribution to the dust population from grains exceeding ~4 cm in size. We suggest that this indicates coagulation within the GG Tau A system has proceeded to the point where dust grains have grown to the size of small rocks with dimensions of a few centimetres. Considering the relatively young age of the GG Tau association in combination with the low derived disc mass, we suggest that this system may provide a useful test case for rapid core accretion planet formation models
Brasil visto do exterior: a percepção de instituições internacionais quanto ao potencial do setor de grãos brasileiro.
No full texté o foco desta nota, fundamentada em recentes relatórios publicados por instituições internacionais como a Fitch Solutions, pertencente à agência de risco Fitch Group, e a RaboResearch Food & Agribusiness, pertencente ao grupo R abobank. São destaques: ? A crescente demanda internacional por fibras e grãos, a qual tende a incentivar exportações para um mercado externo em expansão. ? Os rendimentos em muitos setores, os quais ainda são baixos para os padrões internacionais, deixando espaço para melhorias de produtividade, tanto da terra como dos demais fatores de produção (Figura 1). ? A desvalorização do real, a qual incentivará as exportações de produtos agrícolas. ? O governo brasileiro, que analisa a possibilidade de reduzir as restrições às compras externas de terras e produtos agrícolas no País. Essas medidas poderão atrair investimentos estrangeiros e apoiar um crescimento mais significativo do agronegócio brasileiro. ? Decisões políticas dos EUA em elevar taxas e sobretaxas comerciais a determinados mercados internacionais. Tais decisões poderão ser possíveis oportunidades para as exportações agrícolas brasileiras. Em relação à Ásia, a retirada pela administração Trump da Parceria Transpacífico (TPP) talvez favoreça a ampliação das exportações brasileiras para esses mercados. Entretanto, essas oportunidades têm de ser analisadas com cautela, pois existe a possibilidade desses países entrarem em acordo com os EUA e incrementarem suas compras com este país, como foi o caso da União Europeia, que passou a considerá-los como os maiores fornecedores de soja para aquela região, em detrimento do Brasil
