Soybean is to be planted with a precision planter that meters 54 seeds per revolution of the metering disc powered from a ground wheel of diameter 490 mm. The desired plant population is 44800 per ha with a row to row spacing of 0.75 m. The germination percentage is 84. The planter is to be operated at 2.5 km h-1 with a 10% skid of ground wheel. The angular speed ratio of metering disc to ground wheel for obtaining the desired plant population is
- A 1 hp motor is used for running a dual cylinder reciprocating compressor of a refrigeration system based on R-134a refrigerant having 185 kJ kg-1 cooling capacity. COP of the system is 4.2 and overall efficiency of the compressor is 80%. Specific volume of the refrigerant vapour at suction temperature is 0.15 m3 kg-1. The compressor with bore diameters of 40 mm each runs at 1440 rpm. The mass flow rate of the refrigerant in kg min-1 is
