Abstract

 Chaff is hay cut into small pieces for feeding to livestock.  Chaff can be carried by manually operated machine and electricity operated machine.  This paper presents experimental work executed for establishing mathematical model and simulation for chaff cutting operation establishment of mathematical model and its optimization.  Has been established for responses of the system such as instantaneous resistive torque (π_D1), number of cuts (π_D2) and process time (π_D3).  Model for dependent term instantaneous resistive torque: π_D1.  The models are:  T_c = 1.645×10³ (π₁)^3.8074 (π₂)^0.5141 (π₃)^-0.4521 (π₄)^1.686 (π₅)^2.3237 (π₆)^0.8162 (π₇)^-0.4189 (π₈)^-0.3840.  Model for dependent term number of cut (C) π_D2: π_D2= 0.6449 (π₁) ^0.0001 (π₂)^-0.0146   (π₃)^0.3471(π₄) ^1.0151 (π₅)^0.2781 (π₆)^0.1233 (π₇)^0.9701 (π₈)^0.4773.  Model for the dependent term process time, π_D3: π_D3 = 43.43 (π₁)^0.0001(π₂) ^0.1753 (π₃) ^0.0012 (π₄) ^0.0001 (π₅) ^0.0505 (π₆) ^0.2508 (π₇)^1.0008 (π₈) ^0.0004.  This paper discusses about the applications for pedal power technology.
