P. Seleghim Jr. is full Professor at the Mechanical Engineering Department of the University of São Paulo at São Carlos SP, Brazil, where he is responsible for research projects in the field of multiphase flows and its related nuclear, petroleum and bioenergy industrial processes. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of São Paulo - Brazil, respectively in 1987 and 1990, and his Ph.D. in 1996 in fluid mechanics from the INPG / French Atomic Commissariat at Grenoble France. His principal topics of interest are: renewable energies and carbon capture. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The use of diffusers in the processing of different types of biomass (cane sugar, beet sugar, acacia bark, orange, etc.) is widely used in Brazil and abroad. However, the currently available technologies do not provide new extraction efficiencies and/or energy. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the local mass transfer rates in the leaching process, which demands a tomographic techno…
The production of biofuels and chemical compunds from Lignocellulosic biomass (2G) represents an alternative of great potential, overall due to its synergy with the production of food. However, despite the experience accumulated with the first 2G industrial plants in operation for some years, the integration of the many processing steps is still the source of strong inefficiencies and/or …
The phenomenology of the pneumatic interaction between particulate mixtures is still little known, despite the great potential for practical applications in the industrial and agricultural sectors. In this line, the objective of this research project is to conduct an extensive study of the phenomena involved in the aerodynamic transport of multicomponent particulate aiming at developing a…

This scientific initiation proposal is one of the continuations of the regular research project FAPESP 2017/06236-7 entitled "Identification of a new severity parameter for the hydrothermal pretreatment in multiple stages reactors in transient operation". Recently concluded, the results of this project demonstrate that: 1) the severity parameter as traditionally assessed is not adequate t…
Not only in Brazil but in many countries of the world, the use of biomass appears as the main alternative to the diversification of energy sources and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Since the mid-1970s, Brazil has consolidated itself as a pioneer in ethanol production from sugar cane and, in recent years, showed a significant production of biodiesel, standing out as a major biofuels p…
Gas-solid flow reactors are omnipresent in chemical and energy industries, and their traditional project and optimization require investments of hundreds of millions of dollars in demonstration plants. The minimization or even elimination of such expending by partial or total substitution of those plants by computational experiment constitutes one of the greatest engineering goals of the …

The present proposal of abroad research stage integrates the context of the current post-doctoral work, project FAPESP 2013/03745-7. Professor Sankaran Sundaresan is a collaborator to this project and the abroad stage is proposed to be developed at Princeton University under his supervision. The project FAPESP 2013/03745-7 was implemented in july 2013 and its major goals are the developme…
