Machinery and equipment have changed the face of agriculture, horticulture and construction industries. With the right equipment, used for the right task; it is possible for one person to achieved the same as what many would have done in the past.
This course provides an excellent foundation for understanding how to apply innovative engineering solutions to improve efficiency and productivity in construction, agriculture and horticulture.
There are 9 lessons in this course:
Each lesson culminates in an assignment which is submitted to the school, marked by the school’s tutors and returned to you with any relevant suggestions, comments, and if necessary, extra reading.
The Efficiency of an engine is measured by either the Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE) or the Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC).
Brake Thermal Efficiency takes into account thermal and mechanical losses. It is:
BTE = brake power (bp)
energy value of fuel used in one second
The energy value for petrol and diesel fuels is around 46 MJ/kg
Specific Fuel Consumption is a measure of how much fuel is used to make the power:
SFC = fuel used in kg per hour
brake power in kW
NB. Both terms are not in standard SI units.
The relationship between SFC and BTE is:
SFC = 3.6 kg/Kw. h
Q x BTE
Where Q is the energy value of the fuel in MJ/kg
Generally speaking, maximum power is usually obtained at a higher speed, with a slight loss to efficiency.
The mechanical efficiency of an engine is its ability to change a fuel into useable power. Whenever the heat or energy of a fuel is converted or changed to another, a large percentage is usually lost. Of each 4 litres of fuel used in a carburettor type engine 3 litres are lost. This gives the engine an efficiency of around only 25%. Diesel engines normally have a higher efficiency, but are still only around 30-35% efficient.
Drawbar power and power take off (PTO) power are common measures of a tractor’s work ability. Drawbar power is about 15% less than PTO power due to losses in the transmission, differential and drive wheels (e.g. friction losses).
