Cassava is an extremely popular crop and is becoming the cornerstone for addressing food security in many parts of the world. The competing needs for cassava cuts across both human and animal consumption. It serves as a raw material in textile industry and is now one of the preferred materials for making biofuels. As the world’s population continues to grow, the demand for drought resistant crops such as cassava is increasing. The high demand for various forms of processed cassava will continue to increase cassava prices making it an attractive business venture. Several small-scale cassava farmers are making a fortune and additional income through this business. Preliminary investigations show that the profitable way for a farmer to market his cassava is to add value to it. Unfortunately, cassava undergoes post-harvest physiological deterioration (PPD) after three days of harvest. In order to make cassava farming even more profitable, there is a need to process it within the shelf life of 2 - 3 days after harvesting. One way to preserve cassava is by grating it into pulp and drying it into pellets or chips. In this study, an electrically powered multi-purpose cassava grating machine with grater blades inclined at two different tooth angles, 25˚ and 30˚ was designed, fabricated and its performance characteristics investigated. The results showed that the plate with a tooth angle of 30˚ resulted in higher grating efficiency. This was attributed to better grip on the cassava when perforations on the plate inclined at 30˚. The grating capacity was also significantly improved as very small amounts of cassava slipped out un-grated.展开更多

A well-designed test was successfully carried out by means of tracking measurement and the temperature distribution and variation in pellet layers were obtained.

The microstructure of this grid plate with a life more than 18 months was studied by XRD, SEM and EDS techniques. The results show that high hardness, high intensity and good impact property make the new kind of heat-resistant grid plate and its oxide film have a higher resistance to deformation and abrasion at 900-1000℃ Besides, small grain size is beneficial to form a complete protective oxide film. The oxide film composed of SiO2 layer, Cr2O3 layer and Fe2O3 layer is rather thin and bonds closely with the backing. The forming of the chemical stable nickel-rich layer increases the density of Cr2O3 layer.展开更多

The junction temperature for each device can be efficiently calculated by the combination of the semianalytic temperature distribution function and the iteration of local temperature with high accuracy, providing a temperature distribution for a full chip. Applying this method to the InP frequency divider chip and the GaAs analog to digital converter chip, the computational results well agree with the results from the simulator COMSOL and the infrared thermal imager respectively. The proposed method can also be applied to thermal analysis in various kinds of semiconductor integrated circuits.展开更多

Due to the diversity of the raw materials used and the multi-device multi-variable characteristics,this process still encounters with control problem. An attempt was proposed to deal with this issue. The three-device-integrated feature of the process was firstly analyzed to obtain control strategy,and then an intelligent control system using a combination of expert system approach and Takagi-Sugeno（ T-S） fuzzy model was developed. Expert system approach was used to diagnose and remedy the abnormal conditions,while T-S fuzzy model was used to stabilize the thermal state. In the construction of T-S fuzzy rules,antecedents were identified by fuzzy c-mean clustering algorithm incorporated with subtractive clustering algorithm,and consequent parameters were identified by recursive least square algorithm. The control system was applied in a Chinese pelletizing plant and the application results demonstrated its effectiveness of stabilizing the thermal states within three devices.展开更多

The absence of such a system and intense rainfall event will have the potential to disrupt the urban life and cause significant economic loss to properties. Grated inlets, which are a key component in urban drainage network, are used to capture the runoff. In this work, a three dimensional CFD model was developed based on open-source CFD tool, OpenFOAM®, to model flow over a grated inlet. An incompressible, transient, multiphase flow, Volume of Fluid (VOF) simulation was performed to predict the water flow rate through the grate inlet. The predicted flow rates are compared with the HEC-22 monograph values. The close agreement between the results shows the potential of using CFD modeling approach to test the reliability of existing drainage inlets for different flow scenarios.展开更多
