Specific energy consumption of a thresher is normally expressed as

  • A.Energy per tonne of grain threshed
  • B.Power divided by cylinder speed
  • C.Energy per hour of operation
  • D.Power per unit concave area

Answer: A

Correct answer: Energy per tonne of grain threshed

Specific energy consumption is the energy used divided by the mass of grain produced, in kilowatt-hours per tonne. A machine drawing 9 kW while threshing 1.2 t/h consumes 7.5 kWh per tonne.

Expressing it this way makes machines of different size and throughput comparable, which a raw power figure cannot do. Energy per hour ignores output entirely, and dividing power by cylinder speed or concave area produces quantities with no useful physical meaning.
