Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Grain Silo Aeration Distribution

This Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering final year project investigates comparing airflow paths in a fictional grain storage bin, linking a defined agricultural engineering need to a bounded model or supervised teaching experiment.

Why choose this project topic?

The project concentrates on comparing airflow paths in a fictional grain storage bin, giving the study a practical farm or processing context without requiring a full commercial installation. Comparing airflow variation, pressure demand and low-flow regions supports useful diagrams, calculations and a critical discussion of the evidence and its limits.

How do the selected agricultural system design choices affect airflow variation, pressure demand and low-flow regions when comparing airflow paths in a fictional grain storage bin?

Choose an accessible approved teaching setup or explicitly fictional farm case, then agree the parameter range and evaluation plan for comparing airflow paths in a fictional grain storage bin.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the system, operating assumptions and evidence required for comparing airflow paths in a fictional grain storage bin.
  2. 02Model porous resistance with documented ranges, compare duct arrangements and inspect uneven air delivery under partial filling.
  3. 03Evaluate airflow variation, pressure demand and low-flow regions and report uncertainty and practical constraints.

A suggested research approach

Model porous resistance with documented ranges, compare duct arrangements and inspect uneven air delivery under partial filling. Agree the protocol and any equipment use with a qualified supervisor before work begins. Check units, calibration and model assumptions, compare airflow variation, pressure demand and low-flow regions with a stated reference, and distinguish laboratory or simulated outcomes from field performance.

What you will need

  • Published grain resistance data
  • Fictional silo geometry
  • Airflow simulation software

Keep your project scope clear

The simulation does not establish grain safety, fumigation effectiveness or actual storage life.
