AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING – 2005 PAPER- II, SECTION B

SECTION B
5.       answer any four of the following , each not exceeding 150  words:

(a)    Draw a block diagram of operations for a rice-processing center from receiving up to final storage. Label the diagram and the processes clearly.
(b)    List the main components of a cream separator Explain the process of cream separation with two most important precautions for good cream separation.
(c)    Write down the following:
(i)                  Instrument used to measure acceleration
(ii)                Quantity measured with stroboscope
(iii)               Expression to define decibel (db)
(iv)              Henderson’s equation for grain isotherm
(v)                The maximum recommended angle of inclination for bucket elevator.

(d)   Using a microprocessor and appropriate circuits, it is of a grain combine. The control is to system for operation of a grain combine. The control is to maintain a constant height of cutting at a fixed moisture content of the grains. In case the grain moisture exceeds the limit, the combine is to sound a warning and stop forward movement. Show the schematic design including elements of the control system. To elaborate on the working of the design a block diagram may be used to show the functioning of the system.
(e)   Define or briefly explain the following :
(i)                  Equilibrium moisture content
(ii)                Pasteurization

6.       (a) Explain falling rate period of drying process including rate of heat transfer of material and falling rate drying mechanism.
(b) With a neat diagram, explain the deep-bed- drying arrange mends and psychometric Chart used for drying.
(c) Explain program transfer and problem analysis in Agricultural Engineering.

7.       (a) Explain properties of agricultural materials used in solving different processing problems in grain.
(b)  Describe indirect dryers with separate collector and drying chamber. Give expression for the efficiency of solar energy collector.
(c) Explain basic laws for operating solar dryers and solar energy utilization in crop drying.

8.       (a) Explain solar grain drying system. Show the working of a double air pas solar grain dryer. Give points of consideration n the selection of solar energy dryers.
(b) Explain the characteristics of any three of the following:

(I)                 Oscillators
(II)               Multi-vibrators
(III)             Amplifiers
(IV)             Rectifiers

                                                    (C) Explain methods of size reduction. Give different laws for energy requirement in size reduction.
