The experimental results revealed that both seed output, cleaning efficiency, seed damage, threshing efficiency and consumed power were maximum with cylinder speed of 22.25 m/s and feeding rate of 15 kg/min (8.7 kg/min, 98.99%, 23%, 97.75% and 3.23 kW, respectively). Unthreshed seed losses and length of cut straw were minimum (0.34% and 9.5 mm) under the feed rate 8 kg/min, cylinder speed of 22.25 m/s and hole diameter for concave sieve of 7 mm. The criterion function cost for modification thresher machine was 66.978 LE/Mg at the same operation condition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
