Introduction To Agricultural Engineering
An attempt has been made to cover the entire field of agricultural engineering. For convenience, the book has been divided into eight parts, as follows: Engineering in Agriculture, Agricultural Mechanics, Farm Power, Farm Machinery, Rural Electrification, Processing Agricultural Products, Farm Structures and Conveniences and Soil-and Water-conservation Engineering
The book has been written with thought that agricultural-engineering student can become acquainted in a general way with the entire field of agricultural engineering, using some of his basic mathematics, and mechanics in the solution of simple problems in agricultural engineering. The non-technical student can be given training in the field of agricultural engineering without the use of mathematics beyond basic arithmetic. The references and problems at the end of each chapter are intended as a summary review of the chapter and can be assigned in accordance with the technical skill of the student.
