Structural analysis evaluationfor rollers of chassis dynoUsing finite element software

Jesús Emmanuel López Rizo ALFREDO CHAVEZ LUNA JAIME GONZALO SANTANA ESQUIVEL (2023, [Artículo])

This paper discusses the design considerations for a chassis dynamometer, focused on the rollers system used for measuring the power and torque of a vehicle in a university-level workshop. The design must prioritize factors such as safety, ease of use, adaptability to diverse types of vehicles, and the inclusion of safety systems to protect students and the vehicle. The work suggests adaptative features for the design, such as an adjustable fastening system and a compact and portable design, to adapt the structure into a university laboratory. The study also describes common methods for measuring engine power and torque using a chassis dynamometer, and the accurate and reliable measurement systems used for this purpose. This concludes with a discussion of the manufacturing methods used for the chassis dynamometer and a static analysis of the maximum effort capacity in each roller using Von Mises and Goodman fatigue theories. Developing a chassis dynamometer, in accordance the current patents available for workshop practices in a university is essential for providing students with comprehensive training.

Influence of poverty concerns on demand for healthier processed foods: A field experiment in Mexico City

Marrit Van den Berg Jason Donovan (2023, [Artículo])

Living in poverty can present cognitive biases that exacerbate constraints to achieving healthier diets. Better diets could imply food choice upgrades within certain food categories, such as electing processed foods with an improved nutritional profile. This study evaluated the influence of monetary and health concerns on the willingness to pay (WTP) for healthier processed foods in a low-income section of Mexico City. We employed priming techniques from the scarcity literature, which are applied for the first time to healthier food purchasing behaviours in low-income settings. Our predictions are based on a dual system framework, with choices resulting from the interaction of deliberative and affective aspects. The WTP was elicited through a BDM mechanism with 423 participants. Results showed that induced poverty concerns reduced the valuations of one of the study's healthier food varieties by 0.17 standard deviations. The latter effect did not differ by income level. The WTP for a healthier bread product but one with relatively high sugar and fat content was reduced by induced poverty concerns only among certain consumers without bread purchasing restrictions (78% of the sample). Potential mechanisms were assessed through regression analysis and structural equation modelling. The relationship between poverty concerns and WTP was mediated by increased levels of stress. While we could not rule out impact on cognitive load, it was not deemed a mediator in this study. Our findings signal that improvements in economic and psychological well-being among low-income consumers may aid to increase their demand for healthier processed foods.

Current variability by wave propagation in Todos Santos Bay, Baja California

Variabilidad de corrientes por propagación de ondas en bahía Todos Santos, Baja California, México

EFRAIN MATEOS FARFAN SILVIO GUIDO LORENZO MARINONE MOSCHETTO (2017, [Artículo])

The temperature, velocity, and sea level fields for a summer climatological month (August) were analyzed using tridimensional and baroclinic model outputs in Todos Santos Bay (TSB), Baja California, Mexico. The numerical model was forced with wind (nonstationary), heat flux, and California Current System climatology on the open boundary. The 3- to 5-day current variability is related to a baroclinic wave traveling towards the northwest of the bay. Wave travel periodicity was due to the release of accumulated water from the Ensenada–Punta Banda Estuary (E–PBE) region. Local wind stress causes southeastward water flow and, given the TSB geometry, water accumulates in the E–PBE region. Weakening wind stress was the main cause of water release. In addition, complex empirical ortogonal function analysis found that outer TSB disturbances cause sea level variability.

Electrocoagulation to remove silica from cooling towers water

IVAN EMMANUEL VILLEGAS MENDOZA ALEJANDRA MARTIN DOMINGUEZ SARA PEREZ CASTREJON Silvia Gelover Santiago (2014, [Artículo])

El presente artículo muestra los resultados de un estudio que se llevó a cabo para evaluar el efecto de la calidad del agua en la remoción de sílice disuelto mediante un proceso de electrocoagulación utilizando electrodos de aluminio. La sílice se encuentra en el agua de repuesto (RW) y de purga de las torres de enfriamiento (CTBW). Las pruebas se hicieron a escala semipiloto a flujo continuo en un tren de tratamiento consistente de electrocoagulación (EC), floculación, sedimentación y filtración en arena. Se estudiaron dos RW y CTBW, con características fisicoquímicas diferentes. Las variables de respuesta analizadas fueron las siguientes: eficiencia del aluminio para remover sílice (relación mgl-1 de Al3+ dosificado/mgl-1 de sílice removido), eficiencia de remoción de Al3+ dosificado, pérdida de carga hidráulica a través del reactor electroquímico y el voltaje. Se calculó el costo del tratamiento de los cuatro tipos de agua. La relación mgl-1 de Al3+ dosificado/mgl-1 de sílice removido osciló de 1.09 ± 0.06 a 1.33 ± 0.05 al tratar RW, mientras que para CTBW fue de 0.85 ± 0.1. Los costos de energía, sustancias químicas y consumo de electrodos para el tratamiento de RW osciló de US$0.52 a US$ 0.74 m-3, y el costo del tratamiento de CTBW fue de aproximadamente US$0.53 m-3.

Ubicación y caracterización de zonas de peligro de inundación por marea de tormenta en las costas de México

SAUL MIRANDA ALONSO (2008, [Documento de trabajo])

El propósito general de este proyecto es identificar y caracterizar las zonas costeras de México en peligro de inundación por marea de tormenta. En particular, determinar un conjunto de envolventes de trayectorias ciclónicas históricas y sintéticas producidas con modelación numérica, para implementar y calibrar un sistema que reproduzca escenarios probables de inundación costera; así como determinar periodos de retorno versus cota de inundación, además de elaborar el análisis de vulnerabilidad/peligrosidad y análisis extremo para las zonas identificadas. Para estudiar lo anterior, se generarán líneas de inundación a gran escala para todo el litoral mexicano, asociadas a diferentes periodos de retorno.
