To reduce GHGs, biomass-based biofuels containing oxygenated compounds represent a promising alternative of energy source. To convert biomass into energy, a variety of conversion processes performed at high pressure and high temperature conditions are required, and the design of such processes need as support, thermophysical property data, particularly thermal conductivity . The conventional methods to measure thermal conductivity are often time consuming and/or requires important quantities of products. Microfluidics has been proven as an appropriate support to overcome these issues thanks to its low reagent consumption, fast screening, low operating time, improvement of heat and mass transfers etc. It allows the automated manipulation, performing high throughput experimentation. In addition, over the last 10 years, a new field of investigation called \"high pressure and high temperature (HP-HT) microfluidics\" [1] has gained increasing interest, in particular for the determination of the thermo-physical properties of fluids systems[2] [3]. Currently, available methods for measuring thermal conductivity in microfluidics are not adapted to HP-HT conditions . Also, thermal conductivity data of oxygenated compounds are scarce in literature or not available in extreme conditions. Therefore, the use of alternative methods such as models, combined with microfluidics, are essential to complement experimental data.

This method was designed to allow the coding of a time sequence of up to 3 events that have preceded a given accident. These events are called Preceding Events and are characterised as determining factors for the genesis of the accident. In addition, causal factors can also be identified, which are considered to have influenced the accident but not in such a decisive way as the events. The method makes it possible to identify 4 types of events and 8 types of causal factors, as well as different types of human error that have directly influenced the origin of the accident. Results: Once all the causes and factors that directly or indirectly influence the origin of the accident analysed according to the method indicated have been identified and classified, all of them are organised graphically, which allows a quick and simple understanding of the circumstances of the accident.","PeriodicalId":385356,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th World Congress on Mechanical, Chemical, and Material Engineering","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131231678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The corresponding mixtures were proportioned, analyzed, and optimized by adopting the Taguchi approach. The binder content, CWP replacement rate by slag, alkali-activator solution-to-binder (AAS/B) ratio, sodium silicate-to-sodium hydroxide (SS/SH) ratio, and sodium hydroxide solution molarity were assigned as factors in the design phase. Each factor was characterized by four different levels, resulting in the establishment of an L 16 orthogonal array. The target design property was the 28-day cylinder compressive strength. The analysis of variance showed that AAS/B ratio, CWP replacement rate by slag, and SS/SH ratio were key factors affecting the strength in geopolymer concrete, while SH molarity and binder content showed the least contributions. The blended geopolymer made with 40% CWP and 60% slag yielded the optimal compressive strength response with a binder content, AAS/B ratio, SS/SH ratio, and SH solution molarity of 450 kg/m 3 , 0.5, 1.5, and 10 M, respectively.","PeriodicalId":385356,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th World Congress on Mechanical, Chemical, and Material Engineering","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114358515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was conducted during the period April - June 2019. The selection of sampling stations was done in order to the results of the study provide, a complete information on the level of pollution of these waters and the main causes of this pollution. Water samples were analyzed for temperature, pH, conductivity, total suspended solids (TSS), total alkalinity, total hardness, dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD). All analyzes were performed using standard analytical methods (APHA, DIN, ISO). The results were processed using descriptive statistics method and compared with international water quality standards. The results obtained showed that the values of some parameters were above the allowed or recommended norms. Since the main causes of pollution of these waters are discharges of untreated urban water and those from various economic activities, or discharges of wastewaters, it is recommended: Taking measures to minimize the causes of pollution, such as improving the sewerage network of the area, the provision of a completely special system, serious investments in the treatment of untreated urban waters and those from various economic activities as well as the information of the population on the importance of protecting these waters from pollution and the consequences of these pollutions.","PeriodicalId":385356,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th World Congress on Mechanical, Chemical, and Material Engineering","volume":"79 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130573977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
