Laboratory Proposal for Studies on Poultry EnvironmentIJERA Editor
The goal of the present work was the instrumentation and validation of a laboratory equipped with a control
system for air temperature (tair), relative air humidity (RH) and air velocity (V) to study the environment for
small animals. An experimental was equipped with two air conditioners to manage basic tair and RH in order to
work. Four wind tunnels, with partial recirculation of air were installed in the room. Each tunnel features two
electric heaters and two humidifiers divided into two operation stages. The air velocity is manually controlled by
potentiometers connected to exhaust fans. A system to acquire data and control climatic variables was installed
in the laboratory and it consisted of a datalogger, a multiplexer channel, a relay controller , tair and RH sensors,
sensors for measuring water temperature and digital helix anemometer to measure air velocity. The results
showed that the system presented deviations of ± 0.19 °C, ± 0.75% and ± 0.05 m s-1 for tair, RH and V,
respectively, when comparing the values measured inside the tunnels to those previously established (setpoints).

A study of a self-organizing controller is implemented in a way that response to controlled system follows the desired given by the model. The self-organizing controller has proven to be a valuable tool in sterilization equipment in order to verify the capacity of the response to any change in the pressure or temperature. Basically, this type of controller is based on the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) that is a neural network algorithm of unsupervised learning. The new ideas include clustering visualization, interactive training and one-dimension arrays.
Design, construction and performance evaluation of an electric powered egg in...eSAT Journals
Abstract Poultry production is a lucrative business in Nigeria but inadequate hatchery machines limit the expansion and make poultry products for instance day old chicks more expensive. At the moment, few commercially owned poultry hatcheries in Nigeria are located distance far away in the western and Eastern parts of the country. Majority of these hatcheries have little or no access to the national grid system but operate at about 60 per cent below the installation capacity. Generally, environmental pollution, unreliability and lack of access to grid power supply and low performance efficiency characterize the condition of the poultry hatchery business powered by conventional energy supply in Nigeria. These hamper and adversely affect the establishment of medium to large scale poultry production outfits in the rural areas of the country. But with the advent of electric powered egg incubator technology in poultry production, poultry farmers in Nigeria are likely to incubate and hatch poultry eggs and breed day-old chicks under a sustained power supply in a clean environment. Therefore, this study was aimed at the design, developed and tested in order to provide a favourable environment for eggs hatching. The developed machine was tested to assess its performance. The results from the test showed that out of the total 25 eggs, 5 eggs hatched after operating the machine. This gives 33% hatchability. The results showed that with further improvements, the developed machine can adequately be adopted at the household level instead of rearing chickens for the sole purpose of incubating eggs.

Cold Plasma: A Novel Pretreatment Method for Drying Canola Seeds: Kinetics St...J. Agricultural Machinery
Accurate investigation of kinetics and development of high-precision seed drying models will help better studying the drying process by identifying effective parameters. Present study investigates the application of cold plasma (CP), as a pretreatment process, in air drying of canola seeds. This may bring about some complication into the drying kinetics investigation. Canola seeds with an initial moisture content of 27.5±1% (dry basis) were exposed to CP for 0, 15, 30, and 60 s prior to fluidization by air at temperatures of 40, 50 and 60 °C in a pilot scale fluidized bed heated by a solar panel. The results showed a decreasing trend in drying time from 40 to 60 oC. The shortest drying time corresponds to samples dried at 60 oC with no CP pretreatment. The longest period however occurred for samples dried at 40 oC with 60 s of CP pretreatment. The greatest effect of CP on reducing the drying time was observed at temperatures of 40 and 50 °C at the CP exposure time of 15 and 60 s, respectively. A reasonably accurate study of drying kinetics was accomplished using the superposition method. Accordingly, using experimental data, curves correspond to different drying conditions were plotted and in two steps these were shifted to a reference curve to acquire a final drying curve. The curve then was fitted to a second-order equation, and was validated using the experimental data. The correlation coefficients, mean square error and mean absolute error were 0.99, 0.03, and 0.023, respectively.
Development of Neuro Fuzzy Based Temperature Control for Egg Hatcheryijtsrd
Neuro fuzzy have been successfully applied to extract knowledge from data in the form of fuzzy rules. This project describes the development of Adaptive Neuro fuzzy system applied to the temperature variable of a thermal system with a range of 35 to 40°C for Egg Hatchery control. The system developed was based on heat transfer based on the principle of radiation to actualize the system. The generation of membership function is a challenging problem for fuzzy systems and the response of fuzzy systems depends mainly on the membership functions. The ANFIS based input output model is used to tune the membership functions in neuro fuzzy system. Experimental results were determiner. Processing the membership function the ANFIS was trained, tested and validated. The neuro fuzzy controller used the neural network learning techniques to tune the membership functions while keeping the semantics of the fuzzy logic controller intact. Both the architecture and the learning algorithm are presented for a general neuro fuzzy controller. In conclusion, a resulting effective system temperature control with energy conservation up to 100 eggs was achieved. The developed system finds application in egg incubation system industry.

Design and development of an egg incubator variable controller.pptxdehbiyanuoluwa
This project addresses the development of a system which automatically controls incubator variables during the hatching period.
Success of the incubation process is dependent on the manipulation of the variables involved; temperature, humidity and egg turning.
Manual and semi-automatic incubators has been produced, controlling some variables and leaving some out thereby achieving different hatch rate.
How many variables can be controlled at once and to what degree of accuracy?
The aonla (Phyllanthus emblica), a fruit rich in vitamin-C, has high medicinal importance in
human life. Drying of aonla in the form of flakes and powder is one of the widely used methods of
its preservation. Thermal kinetics during drying a hygroscopic material in thin layer, the moisture
ratio is calculated by the Half Life Time Method. The experiment was conducted at an average
velocity of 0.48m/s, relative humidity 35% and temperature in the range from 40 to 750C. Comparing

In this research, water bath sonicator was fabricated to extract bioactive compound of plants material using sound energy (ultrasonic waves) and heater. The bioactive compound, flavonoid, has high sensitivity to temperature and extraction time and previous research stated best treatment with combination of 45˚C and 20 minutes. Therefore, fabricated water bath sonicator was equipped with proportional integral derivative (PID) based temperature controller and timer. Based on a calculation using the Ziegler-Nichols tuning method, Kp, Ki, Kd parameters are 16.59, 0.0279, and 2463.6, respectively. The experimental result shows that the PID controller can perform as design specification with overshoot 1.39%, error steady-state 0.688% and settling time 37.2 minutes. Furthermore, it was proven that the PID controller has contribution to extract more flavonoid.

1. Possible imaging methods for the project are
microwave, hyperspectral, ultrasound, and
radio frequency imaging. All four of these
imaging methods are already being used in
the food industry for quality control. [2, 3]
Considerations for the imaging system are
power consumption, cost, and size due to the
fact that this device is aimed to be a small
kitchen appliance.
The closed loop system implemented by the
design will integrate image and temperature
sensors monitor the interior of the egg and
the ambient temperature of the cooking
environment.
The system utilizes a proportional-integral-
derivative (PID) control on the temperature of
the cooking environment.
The results of the ANSYS Workbench simulation of the simplified egg case proved the
assumption to use Transcendental Equation over Lumped Capacitance Method to be
correct. With probes, temperature is shown to lag the most the farther the positon gets from
the egg’ making the .center the last place to reach a steady state temperature.

Since the assumptions held true for the simplified case, the same is true for the oblong case.
By nature, the coldest point at anytime in the egg during heat transfer should be at the center
off the egg, which the simulation proves. There are temperature gradients throughout the
geometry but heating propagates uniformly throughout its duration.

Current prototypes accomplish temperature

which adjusts the hotplate’s continuous

The autonomous preparation of an egg has
been attempted commercially using open-loop
timer systems which do not offer significant
precision. Technology is now available to
enable creation truly autonomous food
production systems. This project aims to
address the issues of precision and
repeatability present in claimed "autonomous"
egg preparation systems using a modern, low
cost, energy efficient design. A successful
design will adaptively control the cook time and
temperature regulation throughout the
preparation of an egg. To realize this, a
mathematical model to govern the biophysical
behavior of a heating egg as well as a reliable
method to image beneath the egg’s shell and
monitor internal consistencies are needed.
Our mathematical model analyzes the simple
case of heat transfer within an homogenous
sphere submerged in hot, stagnant water
using a transcendental equation.

The final design for this project will consist of:
• Apparatus that can provide an environment
with uniform heating to cook the egg
• Hyperspectral imaging system with candling
to monitor egg interior
• A PID controller for temperature change
within heating apparatus
Other major design considerations are:
• Size: small kitchen appliance (i.e. toaster,
coffee maker)
• Cost: affordable for consumers ($50 - $100)
• Power consumption: at most 2000 W
Since heating and electricity are involved, the
design addresses user safety features that will
prevent burns, scalds, shocks, and other
potential injuries.
