THE EFFECT OF SOIL MOISTURE CONTENT ON THE ENERGY REQUIREMENT AND FUEL CONSUMPTION OF THE MACHINERY UNIT
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering Sciences & Research Technology - Year 30, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
The field experiment was conducted in one of college of agricultural fields – university of Baghdad – Abu ghraib for 2016 in a silty clay loam soil study power and fuel consumption requirement s , two types of tractors and three types of plows were used as a machinery unit , this study design by a spilt plot under randomize complete block design with three replicates and tasted by the average less significant different with level of probability ( 0.05 ) , the main factor was use two level of soil moisture content ( 18 – 20 % ) and ( 14 – 16 % ) , the secondary factor was use three type of plow ( moldboard , chisel and sweep ) , The research includes the study of fuel consumption ( L/hr ) , specific fuel consumption ( L/hr.hp ) , drawbar pull ( kn ) and specific energy ( hp/m3 ) . The results showed that the soil moisture content ( 14 – 16 % ) having less fuel consumption ( 8.36 L/hr ) and less specific fuel consumption ( 0.221 L/hr.hp ) and less drawbar pull ( 8.99 kn ) and less specific energy ( 1.027 hp/m3 ) , the sweep plow having a less fuel consumption ( 8.75 L/hr ) and less specific fuel consumption ( 0.233 L/hr.hp ) and less drawbar pull ( 9.07 kn ) and less specific energy ( 0.887 hp/m3 ) , the interaction between the soil moisture content ( 14 – 16 % ) and sweep plow having a less fuel consumption ( 7.11 L/hr ) and less specific fuel consumption ( 0.186 L/hr.hp ) and less drawbar pull ( 7.9 kn ) and less specific energy ( 0.844 hp/m3 ) .

A Review of Experimental Study of Spring Back Effect of Aluminum Sheet Metal
To predict the exact shape, the geometry based punch contact program must be used. The shape changes once the punch is withdrawn, because of the materials elasticity. Prediction of such a spring back effect is a m...
