Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 41
Book Description
In the branch of Agricultural Engineering, especially in Farm Machinery and Power sector, there is a need for a book exclusively dealing with various concepts and their applications in transparent and clear manner. So, an effort has been made to prepare this book entitled "Concepts of Farm Machinery and Power" to meet the demand of students, teachers, RS. The book will be useful immensely to the students preparing for GATE examination in AG papers and also for JRF, ARS, IFS examinations. The chapters of the book deals with conceptual analysis of farm machineries, which are confusing and difficult to understand. It is expected that the theoretical as well as numerical analysis of this book will sharpenthe ingenious power of the readers and help them to solve problemsquickly. Moreover, many problems are solved in different ways, which will help the readers in understanding and applying the concepts properly. I am extremely grateful to my teachers Dr. Subrata Karmakar, Associate Professor, Dept. of Farm Machinery and Power, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya; Prof. Partha Sarathi Chattopadhaya, Professor, Dept. of Farm Machinery and Power, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya; Er. Ravi Reddy, Senior Technician, CFMTTI, Budni, M.P., and my B. Tech friends for their encouragement and kind cooperation. Sagacious suggestions and discrete criticism are welcome to improve the book further, so that it becomes more relevant and more beneficial to the readers in real terms. Finally, I envisage this attempt as an important step in removing hurdles in the path of popularization of Agricultural Engineering. I hope that it will fire imaginations and ability of many Agricultural Engineers in the profession to produce such innovative works in future. “Agricultural Engineering— galvanizing agriculture”.

Fundamentals of Tractor Design
Author: Karl Theodor Renius
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 303032804X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
This textbook offers a comprehensive review of tractor design fundamentals. Discussing more than hundred problems and including about six hundred international references, it offers a unique resource to advanced undergraduate and graduate students, researchers and also practical engineers, managers, test engineers, consultants and even old-timer fans. Tractors are the most important pieces of agricultural mechanization, hence a key factor of feeding the world. In order to address the educational needs of both less and more developed countries, the author included fundamentals of simple but proved designs for tractors with moderate technical levels, along with extensive information concerning modern, premium tractors. The broad technical content has been structured according to five technology levels, addressing all components. Relevant ISO standards are considered in all chapters. The book covers historical highlights, tractor project management (including cost management), traction mechanics, tires (including inflation control), belt ground drives, and ride dynamics. Further topics are: chassis design, diesel engines (with emission limits and installation instructions), all important types of transmissions, topics in machine element design, and human factors (health, safety, comfort). Moreover, the content covers tractor-implement management systems, in particular ISOBUS automation and hydraulic systems. Cumulative damage fundamentals and tractor load spectra are described and implemented for dimensioning and design verification. Fundamentals of energy efficiency are discussed for single tractor components and solutions to reduce the tractor CO2 footprint are suggested.

Agricultural Engineering

Publisher: Createspace Independent Pub
ISBN: 9781479316144
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 410
Book Description
Agricultural engineering principles and practices is an exposition on a previous work titled; fundamental principles of agricultural engineering practice published by same author in 2007 which only explored aspects of principles of agricultural engineering with less emphasis on production practices engaged in at every level of agricultural operations. Thus the book gave a narrowed outlook of agricultural engineering fundamentals, which is not adequate for providing relevant information in practice with agricultural engineering background undertaking at all levels of engineering training in the university, polytechnic and colleges. Hence, the book has been enlarged in scopes and packaged in 2 volume titles (11 chapters in Volume I and 9 chapters in Volume II). Volume (I) has three parts that addresses fundamental aspects of agricultural engineering: Part 1 has six chapters comprising of agricultural engineering development, issues on agricultural mechanization, management of engineering utilities, economics of machine use, farm power and agricultural machinery and development. Part 2, in 3 chapters, addresses all aspects of site surveying, land clearing undertakings and landform development, various agricultural practices, and tillage operations. Part 3 has 2 chapters on crop planting operations and establishment practices. Various planting patterns and characteristics, equipment types and planter component descriptions are features x-rayed in this section. Chapters 10 and 11 dwells much on post planting operations involving crop thinning, fertilizer application, pest and weed control programme, and new development in chemical and fertilizer application as well as integrated pest control management. The scope of agricultural practice is inexhaustible and that informs a continual development and expansion of knowledge as advancements takes place.

Agricultural Mechanization in Sub-Saharan Africa
Author: Karim Houmy
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO)
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
The manual work carried out by farmers and their families is often both arduous and time consuming and in many countries this is a major constraint to increasing agricultural production. Such day-to-day drudgery is a major contributoring factor in the migration of people, particularly the young, from the rural countryside to seek the prospect of a better life in the towns and cities. Farm production can be substantially increased through the use of mechanical technologies which both are labor-saving and directly increase yields and production. This document provides guidelines on the development and formulation of an agricultural mechanization strategy and forms part of FAO's approach on sustainable production intensification.
