Otimização do Tempo de Descarga de Vagões Tanque em Terminal de Distribuição de Combustíveis

Abstract

The study focuses on optimizing the discharge time of fuel from tank wagons in a distribution terminal, aiming to enhance operational efficiency within a predefined time frame. Hydraulic systems were analyzed, centrifugal pumps and pipelines were sized, and a calculation spreadsheet based on the Darcy-Weisbach formula for head loss was developed. The proposed solution significantly increased the discharged volume, meeting the terminal's demands.
