Low thermal conductivity solar domestic water heater

MIGUEL ANGEL PORTA GANDARA JOSE LUIS FERNANDEZ ZAYAS JUAN FRANCISCO VILLA MEDINA NORBERTO CHARGOY DEL VALLE (2022, [Artículo])

"Solar domestic water heaters (SWH) with thermosyphon circulation are the most common commercial applications of solar energy in Mexico. They are also becoming popular in the rest of the world, given their simplicity, good economic returns, and sustainability. Traditionally the solar collector, the piping, and the storage tank are built of copper and steel. However, wáter quality in many parts of the Mexican Northwest has high mineral contents and, when heated, results in early metal pitting corrosion of SWH parts. Short-lived water heaters are bad promoters of the technology. In this work, a SWH thermoplastic Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) is built and tested under real operating conditions in La Paz, BCS, Mexico. The optimal design is detected with the aid of a suitable numerical model. Results reveal that a full SWH-CPVC can be technically and economically convenient for the weather conditions of the Northwestern states of Mexico."

Arreglos de antenas para radiación tipo Isoflux en satélites LEO con diferentes alturas orbitales

Antenna arrays for Isoflux radiation in LEO satellites at various orbital altitudes

Paulina Díaz De la Paz (2023, [Tesis de maestría])

En los últimos años, las constelaciones de satélites en órbita baja han ganado popularidad como infraestructura para ofrecer el servicio de Internet satelital, y se espera que su presencia siga en aumento. Para minimizar la latencia en la transmisión de datos, estos satélites suelen situarse en el rango inferior y medio de la órbita baja terrestre. Comúnmente, los satélites de estas constelaciones emiten una radiación que consiste en un único haz que concentra la potencia en una sola dirección. Sin embargo, debido a la curvatura de la Tierra, las ondas electromagnéticas radiadas por el arreglo de antenas abordo del satélite viajan distancias diferentes. Las ondas que se desplazan en dirección del nadir del satélite hacen un recorrido más corto en comparación con las que se propagan en las direcciones más distantes a este. Este fenómeno ocasiona pérdidas de potencia en los bordes del área de cobertura. Para compensar estas pérdidas, se propone el uso de arreglos de antenas de radiación tipo Isoflux. Estos arreglos distribuyen la densidad de potencia de manera uniforme en el área de cobertura, aumentando la ganancia en direcciones donde el trayecto es más largo. Lograr este tipo de radiación para satélites en órbita baja se vuelve más desafiante. Debido a la proximidad del satélite a la Tierra, es necesario que la radiación se extienda sobre una gran parte del plano de elevación, requiriendo un haz Isoflux que sobrepasa los 100 grados. Esta tesis presenta 18 diseños de arreglos de antenas para satélites en las alturas orbitales de 340 km, 550 km y 1150 km. Para el diseño de estos arreglos, se emplean las geometrías lineales, planares y anillos concéntricos, tanto periódicas como aperiódicas. La distribución de excitaciones de amplitud y la separación entre elementos de antena se optimizan utilizando algoritmos genéticos. La presente tesis incluye un análisis comparativo de las prestaciones de radiación y cantidad de elementos de los diseños presentados, categorizados por altura orbital.

In recent years, the utilization of low-Earth orbit satellite constellations as infrastructure for providing satellite Internet services has experienced substantial growth. The rise of this trend is likely to continue. These satellites are typically placed in the lower to mid-range of low-Earth orbit in order to reduce latency in data transmission. It is common for the antenna arrays on these satellites to emit a single radiation beam that concentrates power in a singular direction. Due to the curvature of the Earth, the electromagnetic waves radiated by the antenna array travel different distances. Waves traveling in the satellite’s nadir direction cover a shorter distance compared to those propagating in more distant directions. This phenomenon causes power losses at the edges of the coverage area. To compensate for these losses, the use of Isoflux radiation antenna arrays is proposed. These arrays distribute the power density evenly across the coverage area, increasing gain in directions where the path is longer. Achieving such radiation characteristics becomes more difficult for low-Earth orbit satellites. Due to the satellite’s proximity to Earth, radiation needs to extend over a large portion of the elevation plane, requiring an Isoflux beam that exceeds 100 degrees. This thesis presents 18 antenna array designs for satellites at the orbital altitudes of 340 km, 550 km, and 1150 km. Linear, planar, and concentric ring geometries are employed, with both periodic and aperiodic antenna element distributions. The distribution of amplitude excitations and the spacing between antenna elements are optimized using genetic algorithms. This thesis includes a comparative analysis of the radiation performance and the number of elements of the presented designs, categorized by orbital altitude.

Enrique Burciaga Castillo (2022, [Tesis de maestría])

El sistema Al-Cu-Mg es uno de los sistemas más estudiados debido a la importancia

tecnológica de las aleaciones base aluminio a nivel mundial. Sin embargo, la mayoría de

los estudios no abordan el efecto sinérgico de la adición de algún elemento aleante

(magnesio) con la deformación plástica, sino que se enfocan en determinar los efectos

aislados de cada variable. Así la presente investigación, se enfoca en evaluar la

contribución conjunta de los efectos mencionados principalmente sobre los mecanismos

de endurecimiento y la propiedad mecánica de dureza a fin de contribuir a un mayor

entendimiento de esta interacción.

En el presente trabajo de investigación se estudió la aleación Al2.33Cu en función de su

deformación (ξ), reduciendo el espesor a 30% y 50%, estudiando sus propiedades

mecánicas bajo la adición de Mg en sus diferentes etapas de tratamiento térmico y

mecánico.

Se fabricaron aleaciones mediante el proceso de fundición, utilizando diferentes

cantidades de Mg (0, 1.78, 1.96 y 2.24%) en la aleación de aluminio Al2.33Cu, se

extruyeron las muestras, seguido se realizó un tratamiento de solución a 495°C con

temple en agua y posteriormente se realizó una curva de envejecido (1, 2, 4.5, 10, 20,

45, 100, 200, 450, 1000, 2000, 4500 y 10000 min) a una temperatura de 195°C.

Se realizó caracterización por microscopía óptica, difracción de rayos X y Microscopía

electrónica de barrido en sus primeras etapas (colada, extrusión y solución), así como

mediciones de micro dureza en cada una de sus etapas.

Esta investigación se enfocó en la importancia y el efecto del magnesio en las aleaciones

de AlCu y el efecto de la deformación, como consecuencia en el impacto las propiedades

mecánicas de dureza de la aleación.

Innovation plays a key role on a company’s either success or failure. But innovation is not just the creating or adopting new technologies; it is also directly connected with a solid strategic planning. Competitive technology intelligence is based on the systematic and ethical process of gathering, analyzing and transforming information into actionable knowledge. It aims to support decision making and strategic planning, because the knowledge produced by this methodology constitutes an early warning for research, development and innovation [19]. Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a technique of additive manufacturing that has revolutionized engineering, product design and manufacturing, as it allows the rapid conversion of digital 3D model information into physical static objects [45]. However, in the last few years a new possibility has been introduced to add ’time’ as a new dimension to create 4D printing. The medical field keeps changing and progressing at a high speed with new technologies emerging every day. 4D printing on the medical field is an area where it is necessary to provide decision makers with an overview of technological knowledge that helps them generate innovation opportunities. On this thesis, a Competitive technology intelligence approach was executed to identify trends in 4D printing technologies applied to the medical field, in order to provide relevant information through a technological landscape to support decision makers to uncover innovation opportunities. The results of the analysis revealed that most of the research developed is on the materials category, which relates completely to the fact that smart materials are the key difference between 3D and 4D printing. Most of the researches focus on shape memory polymers, hydrogels and liquid crystal elastomers. On the processes category researched is focused on the physical configuration of the printing model, printing parameters and adapting machines to modify the printing configurations. As for the applications, three main subcategories were identified, hollow tubes/stents, tissue engineering and drug delivery. According to the growth kinetics it is a field that although is fairly new, keeps growing and will keep gaining attention.

ANA MARIA HERRERA CRUZ JUAN ANTONIO BARRON SEVILLA (2022, [Artículo])

Valorar la escasez del agua, la regulación gubernamental y a la minería, es poner en la balanza la famosa relación costo beneficio. No es necesario ser un erudito para saber cuál es la elección de nuestros gobiernos Prevaleciendo en este caso la economía y un aparente desarrollo contra la preservación del medio ambiente. Lo que resulta urgente es un nuevo planteamiento de prioridades para la resolución de problemas que aquejan el acceso al agua como derecho humano.

EFFICIENT FLUORESCENT AND PHOSPHORESCENT OLEDs BY SPIN COATING TECHNIQUE AND A NEW ANODE BASED ON CONDUCTIVE PEDOT:PSS

Luis Abraham Lozano Hernández (2020, [Tesis de doctorado])

"Fluorescent and phosphorescent Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) devices were fabricated by solution process and optimized. From their basic characterization (J-V-L curves, electroluminescence spectra) external quantum efficiency (EQE) was calculated. Two small molecule, carbazole derivatives (CZ-1 and CZ-2), previously reported and used for OLEDs showed very good luminances (~ 4000 cd/m2) and current densities (< 200 mA/cm2) resulting in a high EQE (9.5 %). Likewise, fluorescent OLEDs based in the new polymer PF-2F presented an acceptable performance even on a simple architecture with a good EQE (2.6 %), photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) about 1 and excellent properties of processability. The influence of its CF3 group in the optical, chemical, electronic and mechanical properties in OLEDs was determined.

Also, a new family of three fluorescent oligomers (BT-F32, BT-F42 and BT-F52) with excellent properties in solution, high PLQY (~1) and highly luminescent, were used in simple and multilayer OLEDs achieving a very high luminance (29 499 cd/m2). These oligomers have different chain lengths, which influence the device luminance, efficiency and their lifetime. Lifetime was monitored and the stretched exponential decay (SED) model was used in order to obtain the device half-life (LT50). Also, phosphorescent devices, based on a host/guest system (PVK:Ir(ppy)3), were prepared, the influence of the electron transport layer (ETL) into the electron/hole ratio was analyzed.

By using a new proposed method, a PEDOT:PSS anode was developed and applied in rigid and flexible substrates, with low sheet resistance (40 Ω/□) and acceptable transmittance (> 85%). This new proposed method consists in volume evaporation, in which basically the loss of water induces closeness among the conductive fractions of PEDOT. This PEDOT:PSS anode easy of fabricating following an economical procedure could be applied not just in OLEDs but in other optoelectronic devices such as organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs), perovskite solar cells (PeSCs), etc."

Physical exertions recognition using surface electromyography and inertial measurements for occupational ergonomics

HUGO GUSTAVO GONZALEZ HERNANDEZ (2022, [Tesis de maestría])

Automation of ergonomic risk level assessments using predictive models is limited to the recognition of certain activities with the intention of calculating some ergonomic risk factors, this means that the predictive models are only useful to recognize the activities that were taught. In this thesis, a framework was developed to automatically recognize the physical exertions done by an

operator during a manual work task towards the automation of Job Strain Index (JSI) assessment. The framework includes the use of a wearable device that captures surface electromyography (sEMG) signals and inertial measurements called Mindrove armband, and provides the data treatments that maximized the training accuracy of a Cubic Support Vector Machine (CSVM) model, which was responsible for predicting the exertions depending on the behavior of the data. To determine the best data treatments, full factorial experiments were designed and analyses of variance (ANOVA) were performed. Thus, the best data treatments to obtain a maximum average training accuracy of 93.29% and testing accuracy of 94.31% of the CSVM were the filtering of raw signals with a 4th order Butterworth filter, the rectification of sEMG signals, the outliers' removal in data via Hampel identifier, the computation of the RMS envelope and normalization of sEMG, the zero calibration for inertial measurements, and the extraction of 126 statistical features. Additionally, the Visual Signal Analyzer App (SIANA) was developed for data processing, which works under the proposed framework. Automatic recognition of any physical exertion means that an automated JSI can

be applied to any manual work task, thereby identifying more quickly the risk level of a work task in order to modify it to avoid occupational diseases and accidents.
