DEVELOPMENT OF EXPERT SYSTEM FOR THE DESIGN OF FOOD GRAIN STORAGE BIN AND FACILITY
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Availability of Safe and adequate storage of food grain ensures sufficient supply throughout a year. An efficient public distribution system depends on suitability of storage structures to handle large quantities with minimum time. Planning of new bulk storage structures along with facilities necessary for handling would be easy and faster with software package. A computer program was developed for designing Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) grain bins by using Visual Basic version 6.0 (1998). Programs for designing aeration and conveying system have also been integrated. Output design specifications were validated against worked out specifications for food grain bin. Developed software was informative and user friendly. Present software was found to be valid for the design of RCC silo bin, aeration system and conveying systems for the handling of food grains. Developed computer program will be useful for storage agencies, agricultural engineers and farmers in their decision-making and planning activities
