Design and development of easy operated and cost-effective advanced fertilizer spraying mechanism
Abstract: Agriculture is very labour-intensive and requires efficiency and productivity to minimise cost and maximise yield. Manual application of fertilizer was one of the greatest challenges that a farmer faces, and it is a very time-consuming, physically demanding, and labor-intensive task. The traditional backpack sprayers have high burden on the on-farm labor and with their non-uniform application, there are inefficiencies and potential crop injury. In response, it is proposed to develop …

Production of Oil from Agro Seeds using Mechanothermal Extraction: A Review of Chemical, Pharmaceutical, and Food Applications
Abstract: The increasing demand for sustainable raw materials and renewable industrial resources has intensified research into the extraction of oils from agro seeds for chemical, pharmaceutical, and food applications. Agro-seed oils are valuable due to their biodegradability, nutritional composition, eco-friendliness, and wide industrial applicability. This review examines the production of oil from agro seeds using mechanothermal extraction techniques with emphasis on extraction efficiency, physicochemical characteristics, and industrial utilization. Mechanothermal extraction combines …

Performance Evaluation of Wood Gasifier
Abstract: Generating electrical energy through biomass has advantages besides achieving self-sustainability. Biomass is particularly useful for agriculture dependent economy nations like India. Energy conversion systems based on biomass are particularly interesting because biomass utilization effectively closes the carbon cycle. An experimental investigation on biomass based gasifier engine system of 35kVA capacity has been carried out for power generation application. Problems of cooling and cleaning hot and dirty gas from gasifier has …
