Abstract The cupping test has been widely used to assess the roasting level of coffee to produce high-quality coffee beans. However, the method requires a longer process and sophisticated sensory analysis. The procedure could only be assessed by the certified panellist. Lately, commercial microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technology has been developed, which could be used for building a small spectrometer sensor. This gives the opportunity to adopt bench-top spectrometer sensing into the low-cost portable sensor. This research aims to study the performance test on the C12880MA MEMS sensor to determine the level of roasted coffee. A total of 90 samples from each 30 medium roasting level (Light to Medium, Medium, and Medium to Dark) was prepared. Spectrum data of samples were measured using a C12880MA sensor ranging from 312.162nm to 868.503nm. Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) was performed to classify the roasting level. The result showed that both LDA using full-spectrum and interval spectrum gave 100% accuracy with no falsely classified.

Research on three-dimensional flow field in a tubular pumping system using numerical simulation based on the Reynolds time-averaged Navier-Stokes equations and the RNG k–ε turbulent model. By using this method, the performance of pumping system such as head, shaft power and efficiency are predicted based on the calculation of different operating conditions in the discharge range from 20L/s to 35L/s at the same rotating speed. For verifying the accuracy and reliability of the calculation results, a tubular pumping system bedstand is designed for the permarmance test. The comparison of simulation results and the experiment data shown that the calculation performances close agreement with the experiment results in the high efficiency area, but in the condition of large discharge and low discharge, deviations were existed between the two results. Combining with the results of numerical simulation and experiment, which can provide more evidences for the hydraulic performances prediction and optimization design of pumping system.

The conventional method of drying coffee beans that depend on sunlight (drying) has a number of drawbacks, one of which is that the drying productivity takes a long time. In general, coffee drying is carried out until it reaches a moisture content of 12.5% to achieve a quality bean standard. Mathematically, the moisture content can be assessed by paying attention to the initial weight of the coffee beans and the final weight of the coffee beans. So that the use of the Load Cell sensor to read the depreciation value of the coffee bean weight on a coffee dryer powered by Hybrid Collector and LPG coffee beans. Research that has been carried out during 200 minutes of drying in a coffee dryer, the Load Cell sensor is able to read the depreciation value of the coffee bean weight by 114 grams from the initial weight of 978 grams. Therefore, it can be concluded that the final moisture content of coffee beans has reached 12.01% and the final weight of coffee beans is 864 grams.

In order to solve the problem where the amount of screw fertilizer distributor can only be adjusted by rotating speed and poor fertilization uniformity at low rotational speeds, a blocking wheel-type screw fertilizer distributor was designed. Single factor and L9(34) orthogonal simulation tests based on EDEM software were carried out to optimize the distributor variables at a speed of 20 r/min. The bench verification test was built under the same conditions as the simulation tests to verify the results of the simulation. Finally, the bench performance tests were carried out to evaluate distributor performance. The results of simulation tests revealed that the minimum coefficient of variation of fertilization uniformity (CVFU) was 19.27%, with the structural parameter combination of the inner diameter (17 mm), pitch (45 mm), outlet distance (40 mm), and number of screw heads (1). The verification test results showed that the changing trend and values of the CVFU were almost the same as the simulation tests. The results of the performance test revealed that when the opening width of the blocking wheel was 10–30 mm and the rotation speed was 20–60 r/min, the amount of fertilizer per lap (FAPL) was in the range of 27.74–38.15 g/r; the maximum CVFU and the coefficient of variation of fertilization stability (CVFS) were 29.43% and 2.18%, respectively, which met the requirements of the industry standard. This research provides a good reference for optimizing the screw fertilizer distribution and for researchers in the field of precision fertilization.
