13	Feasibility of diesel-electric hybrid drives for combine harvesters Good, Grant January 1900 (has links) Master of Agribusiness / Department of Agricultural Economics / Jason Bergtold / Efficiency and technology are increasingly important selling points for combine harvesters. Diesel-electric hybrid drives have taken hold in the construction equipment industry, and are providing marketable efficiency benefits for some heavy equipment customers. This thesis explores the technical and economic feasibility of utilizing diesel-electric hybrid drives on AGCO combine harvesters. To determine the technical feasibility of utilizing diesel-electric hybrid drives on AGCO combine harvesters, a search was conducted for prior literature relating to the use of electric drives on other heavy, off-highway equipment. This information, coupled with data provided by experts in the field, was used to determine if electric drives could fulfill the unique requirements of combine harvesters, and be practically utilized for this application. To determine the economic feasibility of utilizing diesel-electric hybrid drives on AGCO combine harvesters, an optimization model was constructed to seek out the most economically viable configuration of electric drives for this application. The model takes in to consideration the different use-cases in which this equipment is expected to perform, as well as the component costs and operating efficiencies of both the drives in place currently and the proposed electric drives. The outcome of the model was then utilized to compare the best-case configuration to the minimum requirement for economic feasibility. The technical feasibility assessment conducted for this thesis led to the conclusion that it would be technically feasible to utilize electric drives on a combine harvester. There are commercially available electric drive components which are suitable for use in the environment that this equipment is expected to operate in, and a prototype combine harvester having electric drives has previously been constructed. The economic feasibility assessment conducted for this thesis revealed that it is not economically feasible to utilize electric drives on AGCO combine harvesters at this time. Under the current circumstances, the most economically viable configuration would take nearly twice the machine’s usable operating life to provide a benefit to a customer from fuel savings. Sensitivity analysis revealed that significant changes in the price of fuel or electric drive components would be necessary to change the outcome of this study.

14	Design de uma peneira rotativa para colheitadeira de grãos Hoher Junior, Alberto January 2011 (has links) A ênfase deste trabalho está voltada ao desenvolvimento de um novo sistema de limpeza para a colheitadeira de grãos visando, principalmente, a utilização de uma nova geometria. O design de um sistema com peneiras rotativas vem de encontro a todos os sistemas conhecidos até o momento, este sistema visa eliminar sistemas eletrônicos cada vez mais complexos e caros. Uma descrição sobre os sistemas de colheita e máquinas agrícolas, principalmente colheitadeiras, é apresentada neste trabalho, já que a bibliografia sobre este assunto é bastante restrita. A utilização de métodos computacionais, voltados à análise de fluídos foi utilizada com o intuito de nortear o desenvolvimento de protótipos reais. O método computacional dos fluídos dinâmicos simula diversas hipóteses de maneira mais rápida e mais barata até que sejam alcançados resultados suficientemente bons que compensem a fabricação de um protótipo real. Com o protótipo real os resultados virtuais podem ser validados e comparados com outros sistemas. Os resultados obtidos foram bons, a peneira rotativa tem um ótimo desempenho em testes realizados no plano, com perdas inferiores comparativamente às peneiras planas. Nos testes realizados com inclinação o desempenho não foi bom, devido a alguns problemas no duto de ar. Com relação à qualidade dos grãos separados, não foram detectadas quaisquer avarias que pudessem ter sido resultadas da peneira. / The emphasis of this work is dedicated to the development of a new cleaning system for grain harvester aiming mainly to use a new geometry in this part of the machine. The design of a system with rotary sieves comes against all systems known at this time; this system seeks to eliminate electronic systems increasingly complex and expensive. A description of the harvesting systems and agricultural machinery, harvesters mainly, is been presented in this work, since the literature on this subject is very limited. The use of computational methods, focused on the analysis of fluid was used in order to guide the development of prototypes. The method of computational fluid dynamic simulates scenarios faster and cheaper to achieve results that are good enough to compensate the fabrication of a real prototype. With the real prototype, virtual results can be validated and compared with other systems. The results achieved were good. The rotary sieve cleaning system shows excellent performance when testing on level ground with lower losses than a flat sieve system. In tests on slopes, the performance was not as good due to some problems in the air duct. With regard to grain quality, no mechanical damage that could have been produced by the screens was detected in either test.

17	From Governors to Grocers: How Profiteering Changed English-Canadian Perspectives of Liberalism in the Great War of 1914-1918 Targa, RYAN 20 September 2013 (has links) The war against Germany was perceived by the majority of English Canadians as a necessity to defend the British Empire, democracy and justice. However, it became increasingly evident to the public that some individuals were being permitted to prosper, while others — particularly those of the working class — endured immense hardship. These individuals who prospered at a level judged excessive became known as "profiteers." Initial criticisms of profiteering were connected to graft, jobbery and patronage apparent in government military purchases. However, as public sacrifices intensified, the morally acceptable extent to which individuals and businesses could profit came to be more narrowly defined. Criticisms of profiteering expanded to challenge the mainstream liberal notions of private wealth and laissez-faire policies as being inequitable and undemocratic. The federal government's unwillingness to seriously implement measures against profiteering led to rising discontent. Consequently, working-class English Canadians aspired to form a 'new democracy' that was worth the sacrifices of the war. / Thesis (Master, History) -- Queen's University, 2013-09-19 19:02:13.077 food controller world war one military contracts scandals 1914-1918 inflation profit liberalism patronage corruption profiteers profiteer conscription big interests income tax great war income war tax business profits war tax liberal order taxation conscription of wealth combines graft jobbery first world war english canada patriotism working class equality equality of sacrifice regulation shell committee imperial munitions board profiteering liberal trusts great war veterans association laissez-faire democracy board of commerce canada food board
