INFLUENCE OF SELECTED FACTORS ON WHEAT GRINDING ENERGY REQUIREMENTS - pełny artykuł (full article) - plik PDF

Dariusz Dziki, Janusz Laskowski

Department of Food Industry Machinery Operation
Agricultural University of Lublin

Summary. The paper presents the results concerning the influence of grain moisture content and debranning ratio on wheat grinding energy utilization using a hammer mill. The results showed that as the grain moisture increased (range 12-16%) the specific grinding energy increased, too (from 15 to 21%). The debranning caused the decrease of this parameter from 20 to 46%. The highest changes of grinding energy efficiency index were observed for grain after the first stage of debranning (debranning ratio 49%). As the debranning ratio increased the values of this index increased, too (from 16 to 31%). However, as the size of screen holes increased, a higher increase of energy efficiency index was observed. The changes of grinding energy indices were described by using the multiple linear regression equations. The models, which were the functions of screen holes size and grain properties (moisture content, debranning ratio, mass of grain) explained most of the variability in the experimental data.

TENDENCIES ON THE POLISH TRACTOR MARKET - pełny artykuł (full article) - plik PDF

Jan Pawlak

*Institute for Buildings, Mechanization and Electrification of Agriculture (IBMER) in Warsaw and Warmia-Mazury University in Olsztyn

Summary. In Poland, the average value of the reproduction rate of tractor resources for 1990-2003 amounted to 0.90%. The value of the respective index for 15 "old" EU countries ranged between 1.96 in Denmark and 2.99 in the UK. Due to this situation, tractor resources are growing older and the technological advance is slower on most Polish farms. As a result, the technological distance in agriculture between highly developed countries and Poland becomes larger. The accession of Poland to the European Union in May 2004 was connected with the imposition of VAT on farm machines. This caused a dramatic increase in the prices of farm machinery.

Key words: agriculture, tractor market

Summary. A method is worked out to determine the soil friction coefficient and specific adhesion. To determine the coefficient of friction and the specific adhesion, the soil slipping resistance should be assessed at several different values of the specific pressure between the slipping surfaces. Alteration of soil slipping coefficient has an alternative hyperbolic regress. On the basis of this opinion, by the method of least squares, one can determine the coefficients of soil friction and specific adhesion force.

Summary. For the purpose of improving driving safety, vehicles are equipped with the electronic anti-lock braking system - a part of the braking system responsible for vehicle safety during driving. Therefore, its high reliability is required. All ABS elements are two-state elements which are characterized by two states: the state of ability (reliability state in which an object can perform tasks in the way consistent with the requirements) and the state of inability (reliability state in which an object cannot perform tasks in the way consistent with the requirements). The reliability structure of a chosen ABS electronic system as well as the results of system reliability calculations will be presented in the paper.

Department of Energetics of Agriculture, Agricultural University of Cracow

Summary. Purpose of research was to determine energy values (combustion heat and heat value) of rapeseed oil. Furthermore, taking into account oil energy value, energy value of oil that can be obtained from 1 hectare of rapeseed culture was established. For fourteen tested varieties, combustion heat was in the range between 37,8 and 40,1 MJ/kg and heat value between 35,4 and 37,7 MJ/kg. Maximum difference of oil energy values calculated in mass units was 6% and in voluminal units 7%. Culture site has a little bit lesser influence on oil energy value and for Lisek variety the difference was less than 5%. Energy value of oil that can be obtained from a cultivation area was in the range between (combustion heat - 62,9 and fuel value - 59,1 GJ/ha) and (combustion heat - 45,3 and fuel value - 42,5 GJ/ha). This indicates that the difference in rapeseed biofuel energy value, obtained from a cultivation area can be even 48%.
