Simulare numerica a incendiului: instrumente cheie in securitatea la incendiu pentru ingineria moderna Numerical Fire Simulation: Key Tools in Fire Safety for Modern Engineering Emanuil-Petru Ovadiuc, Ilinca Nastase, Razvan Calota
Fire simulation is a crucial tool in modern engineering for improving fire safety in constructions, especially in complex compartmental designs. It provides practical insights into structural fire behavior, the impact of combustible materials, and fire development, aiding in the formulation of effective fire safety measures. PyroSim, a graphical interface based on the Fire
Dynamics Simulator (FDS), simplifies the creation and management of complex fire models. It supports file imports from AutoCAD DXF and DWG formats, offers background options from GIF, JPG, or PNG drawings, and includes tools for creating and validating multiple meshes. These simulations are essential for obtaining comprehensive data on various fire-related properties, such
as temperatures, gas concentrations, smoke volume, pressures, and more, to ensure alignment with real-world conditions.

Impactul Restrictiilor de Drept Public in domeniul constructiilor The impact of Public Law Restrictions in the field of constructions Alexandra-Paula Frent, Ana-Cornelia Badea, Petre Iuliu Dragomir, Gheorghe Badea
Increasing population density in urban areas in recent decades has led to the
need to develop the building environment in an accelerated way, being necessary for the construction of buildings and their vertical development for a higher percentage of occupancy of the population on a small area of land. Urban expansion has determined the need to impose restrictions on public law through laws and regulations, to reduce the negative impact on the environment and to increase the quality of life of the population.
Integrating restrictions, rights and responsibilities into cadastral systems would be an important step in developing integrated real estate management systems. This article aims to monitor the impact of public law restrictions on buildings in the urban area and to present urban regulations and legislation in Romania with applicability in the field of construction through the study of case in which a 3D model of representation and visualization of the restrictions of public law of the buildings is developed.

Influenta ventilatiei cu recuperarea caldurii si a energiei solare in dimensionarea captatorilor de sol The influence of ventilation with heat recovery, and solar energy in the sizing of soil collectors Florin Vladimir Mihailov, Sebastian Parfene, Gratiela Tarlea
Prin pactul verde European se are in vedere ca pana in anul 2050 Europa sa
devina neutra din punct de vedere climatic si al emisiilor de CO2. Sectorul rezidential contribuie la emiterea gazelor cu efect de sera in proportie de peste 39%, dintre acestea 28% reprezinta emisiile generate de consumul de energie pentru asigurarea conditiilor climatice ( incalzire, racire), iar 11% sunt emisii rezultate in urma proceselor tehnologice de fabricare a materialelor pentru constructii, un procent nedefinit il reprezinta consumul de energie pentru prepararea termica a hranei. Actiuni menite sa reduca emisiile gazelor cu efect de sera se duc in directia inlocuirii materialelor de constructii cu amprentă ridicata de CO2 cu materiale traditionale si cu un grad scazut de
procesare, inlocuirea surselor de incalzire si racire mari generatoare de gaze cu efect de sera cu surse alternative, regenerabile, fara reducerea sau compromiterea confortului.
Utilizarea pompelor de caldură, si in special a celor ce folosesc resursa geotermala, pentru incalzire si preparare apa calda menajera devine o solutie atractiva si determinanta în efortul de reducere a emisiilor gazelor cu efect de seră. Dimensionarea echipamentelor și implicit a captatorilor de sol, ( lungimea și numărul de foraje necesar funcționării) este o etapă preliminară stabilirii unui buget pentru realizarea investiției și tot o dată un factor decisiv în luarea unei decizii.
Cuvinte Cheie: pompa de caldura, resurse regenerabile,resursa geotermala, eficiența

The European Green Pact aims to make Europe neutral in terms of climate and
CO2 emissions by 2050. The residential sector contributes to the emission of greenhouse gases in a proportion of over 39%, of which 28% represent emissions generated by energy consumption to ensure climatic conditions (heating, cooling), 11% are emissions resulting from technological manufacturing processes of construction materials, and an undefined percentage represents energy consumption for the thermal preparation of food.
Actions aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions go in the direction of replacing building materials with a high CO2 footprint with traditional materials and with a low degree of processing, and replacing large greenhouse gas-generating heating and cooling sources with alternative, renewable sources without reducing or compromising comfort. The use of heat pumps, and especially those that use geothermal resources, for heating and domestic hot water preparation is becoming an attractive and decisive solution in the effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In order to set a budget for the investment and to make a decision, it is necessary to dimension the equipment and implicitly the soil collectors (the length and quantity of boreholes needed for operation).

Reducerea concentratiei de compusi de valproat de sodiu in apa destinata consumului uman prin carbune activ Reduction of sodium valproate compounds concentrations in water intended for human consumption by activated carbon Khemis Oussama, Prof. Dr. Ing. Gabriel Racoviteanu
In our research project with the objective of reducing the pharmaceutical substance valproate sodium, it is aimed to reduce the concentrations of this pharmaceutical compound. Their water retention is carried out by several treatments and among these unconventional treatment methods such as: advanced oxidation, biological product with biomass, adsorption and catalytic
oxidation suitable for this type of hulls.
Due to the fact that part of the drugs are dispensed in pharmacies without a prescription, they are used and would be part of it, but also their metabolites end up in insurface water. Similarly, the intensive use of antibiotics and growth hormones in animal husbandry and the resulting insufficient treatment of surfacewaters by these elements.
Pharmaceuticals are generally synthetic organic layers that are used for the purpose of improving animal and human health. Overuse of torah needles leads to their elimination andthe elimination of their metabolites through the urine. Similarly, dispensing without a prescription leads to the rare
expiration of these substances which, when expired, mostly endup in the landfill.
Internationally, there are studies of the risk posed by pharmaceuticals, their metabolites fromwater often intended for human consumption, and research into various means of reducing their concentration in water intended for human consumption.
For the realization of the research project, studies will be reintegrated on laboratory facilities and pilot facilities of the water treatment laboratory of the Colentine laboratory complex, Faculty of Hydrotechnics. In this experimental research at colentina laboratory (romania) we 'to study the pharmaceutical substance valproate sodium with the treatment of adsorption by activated carbon at different concentrations (0.4, 0.8 and 1.6 mg/l) at two different flow rates (1.25 l/minand 2.5 l/min).

Influenta variabilitatii lungimilor datelor analizate asupra comportamentului distributiilor GEV si Pearson III The influence of the analyzed data lengths variability on the behavior of the GEV and Pearson III distributions Cristian Gabriel Anghel, Cosmin Craciun, Constantin Albert Titus, Cornel Ilinca
This manuscript presents the influence of the variability of the recorded data
series on the behavior and generation of quantile values for two of the most used statistical distributions in the frequency analysis of extreme events in hydrology, namely the generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution and the Pearson III distribution. The methods for estimating the analyzed parameters are the method of ordinary moments and the method of linear moments, which represent two of the most used methods for estimating the parameters of statistical distributions. According to the results obtained, the L-moments method represents a more stable and robust method characterized by much smaller biases than the ordinary moments method, for quantile values in the field of rare and very rare events (low and very low annual exceedance probabilities).
Keywords: estimation parameters; method of ordinary moments; method of linear

Explorarea aplicabilității și perspectivelor distribuției Pearson de tip III în analiza frecvenței inundațiilor Exploring the Applicability and Insights of the Pearson Type III Distribution in Flood Frequency Analysis Cristian Anghel, Stefan Ciprian Stanca , Cornel Ilinca
Being the parent distribution in Romania, the Pearson III distribution (PE3) is
one of the statistical distributions that is most frequently used in flood frequency analysis (FFA). All the components required for the simple implementation of PE3 distribution in FFA are presented in this manuscript. The estimated methods and exact and approximate relationships for estimating the parameters and frequency factors particular to the distribution are described. All of these factors are used to identify maximum flows with various annual exceedance probabilities, using data collected at the 6 rivers with different
morphometric characteristics and different lengths of data series. Five parameter estimation techniques are used in this comparative analysis, i.e. the method of ordinary moments (MOM), the method of linear moments (L-moments), the high-order linear moments method (LH-moments), the method of maximum likelihood (MLE) and the method of least squares (LSM). Given the results, it can be assumed that the L-moments approach is more reliable, stable, robust and less sensitive to variations in recorded data lengths, as well as to the presence of outliers.

Studiul durabilitatii pamantului stabilizat pe baza de sedimente reciclate Study of the durability of stabilized earth based on recycled sediment Nezha Gueffaf, Bahia Rabehi, Noureddine Mesboua, Khaled Boumchedda
The durability of blocks made by earth can be improved considerably by the
addition of different stabilizers. In this work, two stabilizers have been used: cement. The elaborated specimens are evaluated by various laboratory tests, and durability is evaluated by examination of walls exposed to real climatic conditions. It has been noted that all treated walls showed no signs of deterioration after 2 years exposure in real climatic conditions even though the laboratory test conditions are more severe compared to the natural climatic conditions of the region of Algiers where this present work has been carried out. The blocs stabilized by cement showed the best durability behavior.

Solutii pentru eficienta energetica a cladirilor situate in apropierea cursurilor de apa prin integrarea SRE. Studiu de caz Solutions for the energy efficiency of buildings located near watercourses through SRE integration. Case Study Daniel Muntean, Danut Tokar, Adriana Tokar, Daniel Bisorca, Alexandru Dorca
Currently, approximately 40% of the energy demand in the European Union
(EU) is used in buildings and the energy demand for cooling and heating is increasing every year, so the energy efficiency of buildings represents a problem of increased interest and of extreme relevance. The article proposes, through the case study, the installation of a photovoltaic system for the production of electricity on the roofs of the buildings and the cooling and heating of the building using a water-to-water heat pump.
Having the advantage of the location of the studied buildings on the banks of the river Bega in the town of Timisoara, the case study proposes the cooling of the spaces in the buildings in two variants, namely in the spring and autumn when the outside temperature is not very high using the river water directly ("free cooling"), and in the summer for the hot months, a water-to-water heat pump to cool the cooling agent to the parameters necessary to achieve a proper air conditioning.

Consideratii privind valorificarea energiei reziduale pentru incalzirea/racirea cladirilor si prepararea apei calde de consum menajer. Considerations regarding the recovery of residual energy for the heating/cooling of buildings and the preparation of domestic hot water Adriana Tokar, Daniel Bisorca, Daniel Muntean, Danut Tokar, Marius Adam, Cristian Pacurar, Alexandru Dorca, Andreea-Nicoleta Cainicianu
Currently, many opportunities for real energy and cost savings are missed,
primarily due to the perception of quantitative heat recovery. However, in the context of the need for the energy efficiency of buildings and technological processes, the recovery and valorisation of residual energy will be a key element. For this reason, the article analyses the recoverable potential from residual energy from various sources and proposes a way to capitalize on it for heating/cooling buildings and preparing domestic hot water.

The world is currently undergoing a transition from a linear economy to a
circular one, with the wastewater sector offering numerous opportunities for
decarbonization and mitigating the impacts of climate change. Urban wastewater systems are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions, highlighting the need for a shift towards net-zero carbon states. This paper aims to provide insights into minimizing carbon footprints and achieving net-zero carbon conditions in wastewater systems by examining sources of GHG emissions and exploring effective mitigation strategies.
Strategies for decarbonization include operational optimization, energy and resource recovery, source separation systems, and decentralization. Implementing these strategies is crucial for reducing the impacts of climate change and achieving sustainability goals in wastewater systems.

Trecerea la alternative cu GWP scazut in refrigerarea comerciala Shifting to low GWP alternatives in commercial refrigeration Adrian Mihai
Adoption of the new regulation 2024/573 of the European Parliament and of the Council, due to the increase in global warming, commercial refrigeration adapts, together with the reduction of the possibility of using refrigerants with a GWP greater than 150 units starting from 2025. In this way, the transition to refrigerants with GWP less than 150 units becomes mandatory for manufacturers of stationary refrigeration equipment.
Refrigerants with GWP below 150 units are from category A2L (slightly flammable
refrigerants) and A3L (flammable refrigerants) and this implies greater safety measures in installation and service than in the case of refrigerants from category A1L (nonflammable refrigerants).
