• Abstract

  All the locomotives in operation for heavy haul transportation in Brazil utilize their own engines, most of which have over 4,000 hp (approximately 3 MW) of power, as power units to maintain auxiliary systems such as air conditioning, lighting and pneumatic brakes, which together consume around 15 kWh. Given the characteristics of the Brazilian railway sector, with predominance of single …

• Abstract

  In this proposal, the product to be obtained is a leather-like with application in the fashion (clothing and footwear) and design production chain as an alternative to animal-based leather. The technology will be used to extract mango biomass, resulting in a stream of soluble fibers and another of non-soluble fibers. The non-soluble fibers will be converted into leather-like by 3 routes, …
