Full textThe present project is based on the production and commercialization of natural and biodegradable fertilizer, which serves as a bio-stimulant for ornamental plants, with the additional value of being a water retainer for 20-21 days by applying the product once. Made with orange and avocado peel, our business is aimed at inhabitants of Modern Lima corresponding to conservative, modern and sophisticated lifestyles that have plants and / or small gardens belonging to socioeconomic levels (NSE) A, B and C, in addition to showing concern for the environment. The product packaging is going to be a biodegradable kraft paper bag with a capacity of 250 grams. A total of interviews were conducted with 30 people to validate the existence of the problem encountered and the interest and intention of using the product of our potential customers. In addition, in order to make this project scalable for the field of agriculture, two agronomy experts were contacted to validate the product and some aspects of its possible scalability. The development of the project is divided into two points, which are the validation of the business plan and development of the business plan. For the execution of the project, an investment of 21,454 soles was required, obtained based on the shareholders' own capital, who consider recovering said investment in the first year of operation. The profitability provided to shareholders is 249% which makes our project a profitable business.

Full textThermonuclear fusion could play an important role amongst the numerous alternative energy sources, especially though the tokamak configuration. It could be a prime candidate for the energy transition, owing to its significant advantages (fuel abundance, low amount of wastes generated, low risks of accidents). However, a certain amount of technological and physical challenges require solving before any fusion power plant can be built. Dust production is one of the major difficulties encountered in tokamaks. These small particles, made out of wall material, are created by erosion of the plasma-facing components by the plasma, where the fusion reactions occur. Dust particles can be transported in the plasma, thereby unleashing large amounts of impurities, which in turn reduces the plasma performances (by raising radiative losses and generating instabilities) and can even jeopardize plasma-facing components. Aiming to understand dust transport, injection experiments are performed on the Korean tokamak \KSTAR. Trajectories are recorded on film via fast cameras and are extracted by image processing routines. A numerical tool implementing the latest models for dust-plasma interactions is developed, and comparisons with experimental data is made, confirming the overall tendency of these models to underestimate the trajectory lengths. Leads of improvements are presented. Concerning dust sources and sinks, the focus is made on dust adhesion and resuspension of dust on the machine walls

Full textIn this thesis, the role of thermal radiation in aluminum-air flames propagation is studied. The subject being complex and of industrial interest, it requires the coupling of many physiochemical phenomena to accurately predict the consequences of dust explosions. A thorough literature review is proposed about the ignition and the combustion of aluminum particles and about the available theoretical models of dust flames propagation. The specific question of the nature of thermal exchanges and the influence of thermal radiation is studied. The bibliographic review underlines the simplifying assumptions and hypotheses used in the literature making possible the definition of improvement areas. Because of the limited amount of knowledge available to address these questions, a numerical tool “RADIAN” is developed enabling an accurate coupling between the different modes of heat exchange and combustion. The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is used to numerically model the radiative exchanges between particles and the gas-particle thermal conduction. The Finite Difference method is used to numerically model the thermal conduction through the gas phase and combustion. A radiative model based on Mie theory for radiation-particles interactions is incorporated. The results of the simulations are compared with available analytical solutions and experimental data. An original experimental study is also conducted to measure the distribution of irradiance ahead of the flame front and the laminar burning velocity for methane-air-Sic, methane-air-alumina and Al-air flames. A good agreement between numerical simulations and experiments is demonstrated. The Beer-Lambert’s law for radiative transfer in front of the flame front is found to be inapplicable and a new analytical solution is proposed. The presence of absorbing particles may promote the flame propagation. In particular, it is shown experimentally and confirmed theoretically/numerically that Al-air rich mixtures are likely to rapidly accelerate

Full textMinerals that absorb light near UV/Vis present in dust aerosols interact with trace gases in the atmosphere and can initiate a new and potentially significant photo-induced heterogeneous chemistry, which is currently poorly documented. This thesis aims to address different issues of mineral dust reactivity towards organic compounds and, therefore, assesses the impact of these interactions on several aspects of atmospheric sciences. We investigated experimentally the physicochemical interaction of mineral aerosols (synthetic and natural), pure or coated with organic/inorganic materials with trace gases from several chemical families (alcohols, ketones, carboxylic acids, etc.), under simulated conditions close to the real environment (regarding to humidity, concentration in the gas phase, wavelength and intensity of irradiation, pressure and temperature). In a first approach, we studied the uptake of oxygenated organics onto different dust proxies such as SiO2, TiO2 and Arizona test dust (ATD) evaluating the effects of ambient conditions on the uptake kinetics and product generation. Then, we discussed the chemistry of 5 dicarboxylic acids (C4-C8) on ATD particles upon UV-A irradiation monitoring products in the gas phase as well as those whose stay adsorbed on the particulate phase. Lastly, we investigated the influence of nitrate anions on the uptake of acetone on ATD and SiO2 and in the photochemical product formation of glutaric acid on ATD. Overall, our results clearly show that photochemical processing of dust aerosols should be considered as a source of reactive compounds and as a key process affecting their action as ice nucleation and cloud condensation nuclei

Full textIn this Thesis, we investigate the chemical and dust evolution of the different galactic environments we encounter during the cosmic history, from the high-redshift Universe to the Milky Way. The study of the evolution of galaxies is performed by means of detailed chemical evolution models that predict the abundances of single chemical elements in the interstellar medium as well as the condensation into dust of the chemical elements. In the first part of the Thesis, we concentrate on the study of moderate to high-redshift systems. We start focusing on high-redshift starburst galaxies, whose extreme conditions pose questions on the universality of the initial mass function (IMF) as well as on the processes regulating the ISM dust. For these reasons, we test the the impact of the IMF shape on high-redshift environments by applying the so-called Integrated Galactic IMF (IGIMF) theory in models specifically suited for starburst galaxies. In this way, we look at the interplay between the IMF and dust processes in shaping the observed gas abundance patterns as well as global dust quantities. This analysis highlights the degenerate effect of the IGIMF and dust on abundance patterns and suggests that the IGIMF can explain the dust masses observed in some high-redshift star forming objects. To get a more complete picture about dust through cosmic evolution, we also investigate how dust quantities evolve at larger volume scales. To this aim, we present a novel method to compute the redshift evolution of dust mass in galaxy clusters. This is done by integrating the predictions of chemical and dust evolution models for individual galaxies over the galaxy cluster luminosity function (LF), assuming suitable cosmological scenarios for the LF evolution. By applying this method, we reproduce the dust amounts observed in low and intermediate-redshift galaxy clusters and we answer to some questions about dust in cluster. In particular, we find that spiral galaxies are the most important dust producers within clusters and that galactic ejecta can account alone for the observed intracluster dust. In the second part of the Thesis, instead, we focus on study of the local Universe and in particular of the MW Galaxy. We start investigating the evolution of the MW thick and thin discs by comparing MW models with recent survey data. In particular, we discuss the formation of abundance gradients in the MW and the main physical parameters influencing this process, concluding that inside-out disc formation should act together with radial gas flows and variable efficiency of star formation. Moreover, we suggest that to reproduce the observed [α/Fe] dichotomy/bimodality (i.e., the presence of two distinct data sequences in the [α/Fe] vs. [Fe/H] diagram) at different Galactocentric distances, one should assume a prolonged gap between the formation of the thick and thin discs and a chemically enriched gas accretion in the innermost thin disc. Finally, we study the impact of different Type Ia SN yields on the evolution of Fe-peak elements in our Galaxy. To this aim, we apply to our chemical models for the MW a large compilation of Type Ia SN yields from the recent literature, sampling different explosion mechanisms. The obtained results are compared with those obtained with classical Type Ia SN prescriptions adopted in previous studies. In addition, we allow combinations of of Type Ia SN yields from different progenitor classes to assess their role in terms of the chemical enrichment. We find that the chemical abundance patterns strongly depend not only on the explosion mechanism but also on other conditions. Moreover, the comparison with the observed abundance trends suggests that a combination of different classes of explosion is necessary to reproduce the data.
