Source:
Biosystems engineering 2020 v.200 pp. 377-390
ISSN:
1537-5110
Subject:
algorithms; biomass; corn; field experimentation; germination; plant density
Abstract:
... The accurate evaluation of maize plants’ uniformity aligned with an effective improvement in germination and biomass assessment is of paramount importance for farmers. Early detection of stand count provides details on uneven emergence for farmers to make a prompt decision for replanting and applying proper agricultural inputs at defective zones. However, conventional, ground-based stand count met ...

Subject:
biomass; corn; crops; decision support systems; field experimentation; forage; grasses; harvesting; linear programming; model validation; operating costs; perennials; silage; simulation models; wheat
Abstract:
... Silage is one of the typical systems to preserve biomass usually oriented from corn, sorghum, wheat, grass, and other forage and perennial crops. A critical task within the logistics operations in silage production, i.e. harvesting, transporting, and compacting, is the management of the biomass flow, in connection with the biomass storage system and the required conditions of the stored product de ...

Abstract:
... This study aimed to demonstrate that single-frequency (1 kHz) measurement of impedance phase angle (Φ) in root–soil systems is suitable for monitoring plant responses to environmental stresses. Potted wheat, soybean and maize plants were exposed to cadmium contamination, alkaline stress, drought or weed competition. Φ was detected at regular intervals between a ground and a plant electrode during ...

Biosystems engineering 2015 v.139 pp. 111-120
ISSN:
1537-5110
Subject:
biomass; bulk density; corn; durability; glass transition temperature; heat; lignin; pellets
Abstract:
... The effect of the conditioning process parameters on the properties of the pellets was investigated. Maize residues were collected locally from the field and crushed into small sizes, dried, and separated for compaction. The effects of the variation of the die temperature (30–80 °C), the compaction pressure (150–250 MPa), and the biomass type (cob, husk, and stalk) on compact density, relaxed dens ...

Subject:
biochemical pathways; biomass; biosensors; corn; electrodes; feed quality; fermentation; monitoring; oxygen; silage; silage making; temperature
Abstract:
... Making silage involves a complicated biochemical process where oxygen (O2) is rapidly consumed within the sealed environment leading to fermentation and stable storage of the biomass. Reintroduction of the oxygen from a leak or the feed-out process results in silage degradation. Monitoring silage O2 concentration and temperature (Tsi) can provide critical insight regarding silage quality. Thus, an ...

Abstract:
... A superheated steam drying (SSD) model was developed in Aspen Plus software to determine energy and water recovery for drying the co-products in a corn ethanol plant. The SSD was integrated into a biomass integrated gasification combined cycle (BIGCC) heat and power production model developed for a 190 million litre per year corn ethanol plant. The BIGCC system was fuelled with either corn stover ...
