...
García León, Ricardo Andrés | 2018

Actualmente en Norte de Santander existe gran variedad de yacimientos naturales que se pueden utilizar para fabricar productos de mampostería para la construcción como lo son bloques, tejas, ladrillos, baldosas, entre otros; pero las empresas fabricantes obtienen muchos desperdicios debido a la falta de análisis tecnológicos de la materia prima para pronosticar el comportamiento de las pastas cerámicas y lograr mejorar la calidad del producto final. En el presente trabajo se realizó las caracterizaciones térmicas de dos mezclas de arcillas (m7 y m8) encontradas experimentalmente utilizando el método de moldeo de extrusión y en polvo para la fabricación de bloques H-10 tomando como muestra la materia prima (arcilla) de una empresa dedicada a la fabricación de bloques H-10 en Ocaña, Norte de Santander. El desarrollo de la investigación se llevó a cabo mediante la ejecución de ensayos térmicos a las muestras de arcillas con los que se determinaron los porcentajes pérdida de peso respecto a las temperaturas obtenidas en un diagrama con las curvas de ATD y ATG. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que las mezcla m7 encontrada experimentalmente presenta mejores características en el proceso de cocción por lo que se estableció una curva de cocción óptima para la fabricación del bloque H-10 teniendo en cuenta las especificaciones del proceso productivo y la materia prima, con lo que se espera mejorar la calidad del producto final cumpliendo las especificaciones de las normas actuales vigentes. Es indispensable caracterizar las arcillas para optimizar la pasta de producción y evitar imperfecciones en el producto final (Bloque H-10) con lo que evidentemente se mejoraran los recursos ambientales y económicos de la empresa.

CFD performance analysis for Darrieus Hydrokinetic Turbine
...
Rolong Ortiz, Humberto | 2019-04-10

This work proposes the analysis of the behavior of a Darrieus type hydrokinetic turbine, starting from the mathematical model that allows to delimit the operation system, linking all the variables present in the phenomenon, specifically the fluid properties such as density, velocity, viscosity and Reynolds number. Also considered are the geometric data of the profiles, the rope length, cross-sectional area, angle of attack of the impeller, type of profile used and speed of rotation. The initial domain data, the flow area and the boundary conditions are selected to solve the model and thus obtain the data of the individual behavior of the selected profiles. For this, the lift and drag curves are obtained over a wide range of angles of attack. After characterizing the profile, the behavior of the impeller is simulated, calculating its power coefficient and consequently its performance.

CFD simulation of HPAM EOR solutions mechanical degradation by restrictions in turbulent flow
...
Herrera Quintero, Julia Jineth | 2020-12-17

Polymer flooding is a widely used enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technology. The purpose of the polymer is to increase water viscosity to improve reservoir sweep efficiency. However, mechanical elements of the polymer injection facilities may impact the viscosity of the polymer negatively, decreasing it drastically. Mechanical degradation of the polymer occurs in case of flow restrictions with abrupt diameter changes in valves and control systems. Such flow restrictions may induce mechanical stresses along the polymer chain, which can result in its rupture. In this research, physical experiments and numerical simulations using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) were used to propose a model for estimating the mechanical degradation for the flow of polymer solutions. This technique involves the calculation of velocity gradients, pressure drawdown, and polymer degradation of the fluid through geometry restriction. The simulations were validated through polymer injection experiments. The results show that with the greater volumetric flow and lower effective diameters, there is more mechanical degradation due to polymer shearing; nonetheless, this depends on the rheology properties inherent in each polymer in an aqueous solution. This method is suitable to estimate the mechanical degradation of the polymer solution in flooding facilities and accessories. Further, the results obtained could enhance the use of the polymer, calculating its actual mechanical degradation, minimizing it, or using it to support the development of new accessories.

Clay surface characteristics using atomic force microscopy
...
Acevedo Peñaloza, Carlos Humberto | 2018-06-07

The first component for the manufacture of masonry products used in construction is clay, which provides the plasticity that facilitates the molding and handling of the product. The second component is the feldspar in form of alumina (Al2O3) which is used as flux. The third one is silica (SiO2) which is used as a filling material and stabilizer. These elements are determined by chemical composition using fluorescence analysis or X-ray diffraction, which is the basis of the modern classification of minerals. Thereby, the main objective of this research is to study the surface characteristics of clay samples from an industrial company producing H-10 blocks in the region of Norte de Santander, by studying the surfaces of the samples selected through the analysis by Atomic Force Microscopy, in order to compare the results with those found in the literature, and at the same time taking into account the chemical elements in their highest composition. The results show that this is a technique that allows the identification of clay components, thus validating what has been found in physical and chemical analysis, expecting to provide a scientific contribution by AFM, because there is little information related to the characterization topography of clay materials.

Combustion and performance study of low-displacement compression ignition engines operating with Diesel–Biodiesel blends
...
Valencia, Guillermo | 2020-01-30

This study investigated the influence of different biodiesel blends produced from residual sunflower oil and palm oil from agroindustry liquid waste on the characteristics of the combustion process, performance, and emissions in a single-cylinder diesel engine. For the analysis of the combustion process, a diagnostic model was developed based on the cylinder pressure signal, which allows the calculation of the heat release rate, the accumulated heat rate, and the temperature in the combustion chamber. This is to assess the influence of these parameters on engine emissions. The experiments on the diesel engine were carried out using five types of fuel: conventional diesel, two biodiesel blends of residual palm oil (PB5 and PB10), and two biodiesel blends formed with palm oil and sunflower oil residues (PB5SB5 and PB10SB5). The engine was running in four different modes, which covered its entire operating area. Experimental results show that the in-cylinder pressure curves decrease as the percentage of biodiesel in the fuel increases. Similarly, the results showed a decrease in the heat release rate for biodiesel blends. The diagrams of the accumulated heat release curves were larger for fuels with higher biodiesel content. This effect is reflected in the thermal efficiency of biodiesel blends since the maximum thermal efficiencies were 29.4%, 30%, 30.6%, 31.2%, and 31.8% for PB10SB5, PB5SB5, PB10, PB5, and diesel, respectively. The emission analysis showed that the blends of biodiesel PB5SB5 and PB10SB allowed a greater reduction in the emissions of CO, CO2, HC, and opacity of smoke in all the modes of operation tested, in comparison with the blends of biodiesel PB5 and PB10. However, NOx emissions increased. In general, biodiesel with the percentage of residual sunflower oil does not cause a significant change in the combustion process and engine performance, when compared to biodiesel that includes only residual palm oil.

A comparative study of the cutting parameter in milling process under different material
...
Acevedo Peñaloza, Carlos Humberto | 2018-06-18

In the present study, the incidence of the variation in feed rate per tooth and depth of cut for SAE 4340 alloy steel and SAE J431 steel castings was analysed and in which material this variation is most noticeable. For this purpose, the machining process studied was milling. This is a machining operation in which a workpiece is passed in front of a rotating cylindrical tool with multiple cutting edges. For this study, the feed rate per tooth and depth of cut were varied by 4 values each. The feed rate ranged from 0.002 mm to 0.008 mm and the depth of 2 mm to 8 mm found that for both parameter variations cutting speeds always decrease with increasing both feed per tooth and depth of cut and that feed per tooth and depth of cut significantly affect process costs.

Comparison of the Concentration Factor of Stresses on Flat Sheets with Two Holes with Low and High Speed Voltage Test
...
Acevedo Peñaloza, Carlos Humberto | 2018-07-31

The research seeks to determine whether the stress concentration factor for flat plates with two stressed holes varies according to the application speed of the load. The research was developed using the experimental method, with two types of tests, one called low-speed load application and the other called high-speed load application. The behaviour of the theoretical stress concentration factor Kt has been studied on long flat plates with two holes under tension and made of isotropic material, with axial direction for the application of the vertical load. Different values were taken from the centre distance of the holes and it was found that the value of the stress concentrator Kt; for the two tests always tends to values greater than 3.8. A comparison was made between the results obtained and it was determined that there is variation between the values of the Kt factor according to the speed with which the load of the voltage test is applied, with the highest being the Kt with high speed test.

Computational fluid dynamics analysis of combined cycle power plant heat exchanger with OpenFOAM® software
...
Cárdenas-Gutiérrez, Javier Alfonso | 2020-10

The heat exchangers application in combined cycle power plants is a key aspect in the thermal and fluid mechanics sciences due to their elevated functionality in industrial processes related to the quality and the efficiency in the power generation. Heat exchangers are employed in thermal processes in order to remove a significant heat flow and to maintain temperature values under different working conditions. Taking into account the above, numerical methodologies have been developed with the aim to study and analyze the heat exchanger performance based on the thermal states of its physical values in space and time. Experimental methods may be applied to create models and describe the flow behavior in function of mass flow rate, pressure, and flow temperature in different measure points of the finite volume. However, it is necessary to apply numerical methods linked to computational tools in order to generate a high flow description into the heat exchanger under real working conditions. Therefore, this paper proposes a numerical analysis of the flow transported into a heat exchanger with computational tools to predict its performance under real Combined Cycle Power Plant conditions through a virtual environment. Random number generator KEpsilon turbulence model and Eulerian – Eulerian multiphase model is coupled in a Computational Fluid Dynamics code to solve the system of the partial differential equations which describes the flow behavior and heat transfer into the heat exchanger, and numerical results have been compared against the experimental model in order to verify the flow prediction of the simulation methodology employed in this particular case. The good agreement reached between the models defines an inexpensive way to evaluate and optimize the heat exchanger performance by means of OpenFOAM software.

Valencia-Ochoa, Guillermo | 2020-05-01

Las bombas rotodinámicas han presentado un desarrollo muy notable en los últimos años; debido a esto, su implementación se ha diversificado ampliamente en aplicaciones industriales y domiciliarias. La modificación de los parámetros de operación que definen las características de la bomba regenerativa afecta directamente su eficiencia. Por otro lado, las curvas características que determinan el comportamiento hidráulico de una bomba son utilizadas para definir el punto de operación y escoger una bomba adecuada para las condiciones de funcionamiento de un sistema hidráulico. En este artículo, se presenta una metodología para ajustar la curva teórica de una bomba rotodinámica periférica utilizando factores que influyen en su desempeño considerando que limitaciones físicas que se presentan durante su operación afectan la precisión en la descripción del fenómeno. La ecuación de Euler es utilizada para determinar un conjunto de correlaciones que describen el comportamiento real de la bomba periférica tomando en cuenta la velocidad absoluta del alabe y la componente periférica de la velocidad del fluido que interactúa con el rodete; luego, los datos generados son utilizados para comparar la ecuación de la velocidad del flujo definida con la caracterización geométrica de una bomba regenerativa disponible en el mercado. Por último, se desarrolló una modificación en la ecuación teórica de Euler para predecir la curva real de la bomba regenerativa alcanzando un porcentaje de error menor al 5%.

Design of a mechanical seeder
...
Ospina-Bayona, H E | 2019-11-19

In the agricultural production processes that are carried out in most of the Colombian regions, some deficiencies can be observed in the way in which the seeds are sown. This is a task that is carried out manually, generating physical problems in the workers due to the enormous effort that they must make, in addition to the precariousness in how these works are carried out. The long periods that are involved in sowing greatly hinder its efficiency, something that directly affects the economy of the farmers. The purpose of this work is to design a mechanical seeder that facilitates the work of the operators by eliminating the manual operation of it and equipping them with equipment that performs the furrows in the ground and at the same time sows the seed. The results obtained corroborate that there is an adequate structural design, which will support the forces to which the machine will be subjected. In this way, it will be possible to contribute to the improvement of the sowing conditions of the farmers of the region. This design takes into account the number of seeds sown per hectare, which is about 20 kg. These data were obtained from farmers belonging to the Universidad Francisco de Paula Santander seccional Ocaña. Additionally, maximum deformation analysis was performed on the chassis, obtaining values of 1.791×10−4 m, as well as structural analysis using the Solidworks drawing tool.

...
Acevedo Peñaloza, Carlos Humberto | 2018-11-22

Numerous research works have studied the stress distribution in sections with geometric discontinuities and the relationship with the theoretical factor of stress concentration using the finite element method. These works have dealt with topics such as the influence of the length of pieces on the 𝐾�𝑡� factor in rectangular orthotropic plates; The behavior of the stress concentration factor on short shafts with section changes under bending loads; The theoretical factor of stress concentration in flat parts subjected to tension with "U" grooves; The estimation of the theoretical stress concentration factor 𝐾�𝑡� for a flat plate with two holes subjected to tension loads. Other studies have compared the stress distribution by applying three methods: elasticity theory, finite element analysis and experimental techniques. Results show that the finite element method is effective in solving the problem. The goal of this research is to determine the theoretical stress concentration factor for a flat plate with two holes subjected to bending applying the finite element method. The modeling of the plate, the application of the loads, the mesh generation and the simulation of the stress distribution were made using the software ANSYS® Workbench. Four holes with different sizes were worked and for each of them 10 different values of the distance between centers were taken. In this way the relationship between the factor 𝐾�𝑡�, the size of the holes and the distance between centers was found. This information is of great importance for the design of mechanical elements that are under these conditions.

Development of non-conservative mechanical models applied to the low energy impact phenomenon

Coba Salcedo, Milton Fabian | 2018-07-18

Non-conservative mechanical models are developed to be applied to the low energy impact phenomenon. The analytical description of the proposed models is made and the numerical solution of the system of differential equations is proposed. The impact of materials is undoubtedly the object of research, due to the dynamic condition inherent in the bodies that interact in our universe. That is why we have standardized methodologies for its study, such as Izod and Charpy impact techniques, among others. However, this work places special emphasis on the method of plate bending, which, due to its geometric configuration, interprets real impact situations to which some bodies are subjected, in addition to the low energy technique in which the energy available in the impactor is less than that absorbed in the breaking process, makes it possible to obtain information on the material in the elastic, plastic, initiation and crack propagation range.

Coba Salcedo, Milton Fabian | 2018

The complexity of the milling process has led us to study different parameters, among which are the cutting speed, feed speed, chip volume, cutting time and associated costs, which are the focus of this study. For this purpose, a calculation algorithm was designed in which fixed parameters were left and the cutting depth was varied from 2 to 8 mm. This resulted in an increase in process times and costs, which was expected due to the removal of more material and a negative impact on the surface finish of the part.
