Study of effect of temperature on iodine value of bio-char and total carbon contain in bio-char was studied in continuous feed reactor with 1 kg/hr feeding rate. The temperature on iodine value of bio-char and total carbon contain as taken at different temperature of 450, 500, 550 and 600°C, respectively in both condition. The yield of the activated carbon in bio-char was decreased 38.1 to 37.54 per cent with the increase in pyrolysis temperature 450 to 550°C. However, the iodine adsorption capacity of the prepared activated carbon increased from 167.7 to 288.78 mg/g with an increase temperature 450 to 600°C in condition 1. In condition 2 the yield of activated carbon was decreased 37.02 to 26.66 per cent with the increase in pyrolysis temperature 500 to 600°C. However, the iodine adsorption capacity of the prepared char decreased 214.67 to 154.158 mg/g with a temperature 450 to 600°C. Based on comprehensive consideration of yield and iodine adsorption capacity of the char prepared, 600 and 500°C was chosen for optimum pyrolysis temperature in condition 1 and condition 2, respectively.Keywords

Polishing of turmeric in the Sangli (M.S.) district was practiced with different types of polishing machine (polisher). Most of these were operated by different engine such as diesel engine, tractor and electric motor. The majority of them have been developed by the farmers themselves and being used for polishing on custom hiring. The charging and discharging time, rate of polishing and machine output of tractor operated polishing machine was higher than diesel engine operated polishing machine and electric motor operated polishing machine, respectively. The diesel engine operated polishing machine required more energy than tractor operated and electric motor operated polishing machine, respectively. The cost of polishing by diesel engine operated machine was higher than tractor operated and electric motor operated polishing machine, respectively. Overall the performances of tractor operated polishing machine were satisfactory and accepted for application of polishing.Keywords

The study highlights the performance of different shelling machines used in Kokan region of Maharashtra. The effect of cashew nut size on performance of cashew nut shelling machines and there comparative differences between three shelling machines were studied. It was found that, the size of cashew nut had significant effect on the shelling efficiency of machine. The per cent shelling efficiency of the machine increased with increase in size of cashew nut. The manual operated shelling machine showed higher shelling efficiency as compared to traditional and improved power operated shelling machine. It is also observed that the improved power operated machine had lower uncut, breakage, higher whole kernel recovery and cashew nut picking efficiency as compared with traditional power operated and manual shelling machine. Operating cost of manual, traditional and improved power operated cashew nut shelling machine were 7, 3.12 and 2.31 Rs./kg, respectively. Operating cost of improved shelling machine was 66 per cent and 57.4 per cent higher as compared to manual and traditional power operated shelling machine, respectively. Improved power operated shelling machine saved monthly Rs. 21138/- as compared to manually operate shelling machine.Keywords

Cashew is the one of the major horticultural crops in the Konkan Region of Maharashtra. Hence, the cashew processing industries are having good scope in this region. The usual trend is that the entrepreneurs here start their cashew processing unit on small scale and with the availability of funds they expand their unit. Hence, there is no logical expansion of the processing plants occur that ultimately add to the processing cost. The processing units which are set with proper planning can save time and motion and the cost of processing. This article presents the time and motion study of two cashew processing units one of which is gradually expanded while the other one is set up with proper planning. A theoretical attempt is made to improve the planning of the gradually expanded unit to reduce the time and motion.Keywords

This study highlights the energy consumption pattern of paddy cultivation practices followed in Kokan region of Maharashtra. The study data were collected from eight regional research stations of Balasaheb Sawant Kokan KrishiVidyapeeth, Dapoli. The net energy, specific energy, energy output input ratio,energy productivity and water productivity for paddy cultivation was found to be 61738.52 MJ/ha, 0.86 MJ/kg, 2.22, 1.16 kg/MJ and 9.33 kg/m3, respectively. The cost per energy input and cost per energy output was found to be 19.99 Rs./MJ, 0.8342 Rs./MJ, respectively. Diesel fuel contributed highest share of input energy for paddy cultivation. Seed (52 %) contributed highest share of output energy, it immediately followed by straw (48 %).The contribution of indirect energy (53.64 %) was higher than that of the direct energy (46.16 %). In direct energy, the highest share of diesel fuel (82 %) as well as in indirect energy chemical fertilizers (49 %) contributed highest share. The share of non renewable energy (72.86 %) was found to be more than that of renewable energy (27.14 %).Water contributed highest share (46 %) to renewable energy and it immediately followed by human energy (30 %) stand on second position.Diesel fuel (52 %) contributed highest share to non renewable energy used and it followed by chemical fertilizers (30 %). The costs of different sources of input energy used in paddy cultivation were 19.995 Rs./MJ and that of output energy from paddy cultivation was 0.8342 Rs./MJ.Keywords
