ENERGY

* OIL, GAS & RENEWABLE ENERGY

In the context of hydrocarbon exploration, Brazil has seen its reserves grow significantly with prospecting in deep and ultra-deep waters, more recently a new frontier stands out: the pre-salt; which placed Brazil among the countries with the largest hydrocarbon reserves. However, the challenges inherent to the exploration of these reserves are many. In this sense, this line of research seeks to add knowledge with the development of the following groups:
-Geo-engineering of oil and gas reservoir; that in addition to involving geosciences, they include modeling studies of complex flows in porous media in order to improve hydrocarbon recovery techniques;
-Production and processing of oil and gas, combining efforts in the characterization of oils and emulsions, drilling and completion operations, elevation and flow, primary processing and refining;
-Development and application of computer systems and electronic prototypes to support the exploration and / or production of oil, gas and renewable energy.

* ENERGY EFFICIENCY

In line with the reality of the Brazilian energy sector, this line of research seeks to contribute to works that are directly involved with energy efficiency, such as:
-Development of materials: synthesis and characterization of nanoparticulate materials applied to industry; new materials used in energy technology;
-Optimization and logistics of energy systems;
- Modeling and simulation of energy processes;
- Process engineering: characterization of materials, development and optimization of separation and refining processes applied to the chemical and petroleum industry, use of chemical and biochemical reactors used in the production of biofuels.

AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING

Agriculture is the sector responsible for a third of the Brazilian gross domestic product, this fact alone justifies a great demand for research, development and technological innovation as important tools for the integral and sustainable growth of Brazilian agribusiness. There are three factors linked to agricultural production: the physical, such as the soil and the climate; the human factor, which corresponds to labor in its development; and the economic factor, which refers to the value of the land and the level of technologies applied in production.
In this sense, we invite authors to submit contributions that can add significantly through theoretical and experimental research, development of agricultural production techniques, innovation of agricultural processes and technology transfer in the areas of phytotechnics, soils, agricultural systems engineering, rural development, rural economy, sustainable agriculture and family farming.

FOOD ENGINEERING & GASTRONOMY

Food is essential to human and animal survival, with food processing techniques deserving to be highlighted in society constantly, whether through culinary programs, reality shows or the food industry.

Through gastronomy it is possible to rescue and maintain the memory of a people, the identity rescue of past civilizations, and is even an important tourist segment. The Ministry of Tourism has been working on the formation of the National Gastronomic Tourism Program, with a set of actions that aims to promote this segment and effect Brazil as a reference destination in gastronomy.

Gastronomy is also linked to pleasure, hospitality, well-being and curiosity for the preparation of different menus, how to do it and minimizing losses as much as possible.

Gastronomy and food engineering are crucial for the correct preparation and transformation of food, aiming to minimize losses and seeking to develop sustainable gastronomy techniques while studying the process of handling, conservation, durability and processes involving the manufacture of food. These processes increase the durability of food so that it can be consumed at any time of the year and in any region of Brazil and the world.
