Derivation of a mathematical model to describe the threshing process for different crops

Abstract EN

A mathematical scheme based on the continuity equation was made to predict the optimum cylinder-concave clearance in a model of grain thresher for different crops, the output from model machine was compared with a mathematical model.

The comparative study indicates no significant difference in the results obtained by the two models .The model for predicting the concave–cylinder relation can be used to aid the design and operation of multi-crop thresher.
