Discussion
Consider the following pairs of performance measure and its definition:
Threshing efficiency - Proportion of grain detached
Cleaning efficiency - Proportion of clean grain at the outlet
Specific energy - Energy consumed per tonne of grain
Capacity - Cylinder speed in metres per second
How many of the pairs given above are correctly matched?
Answer: D
Correct answer: Only three
Three pairs are right. Threshing efficiency is the proportion of grain detached, cleaning efficiency the proportion of clean grain at the outlet, and specific energy the energy consumed per tonne of grain.
The fourth is wrong. Capacity is the throughput of the machine, in tonnes per hour. Cylinder speed in metres per second is a setting, not a measure of output, and two machines running at the same peripheral speed may have quite different capacities.
