Analysis particle trajectory and air flow on hopper for swiftlet feeding machine using computational fluid dynamics (CFD)

Currently, the bird house entrepreneur feeds the bird manually, and there is the opportunity to develop the feeding machine for swiftlets with good efficiency. This research is focused on analyzing the flow of the particle for the mechanism of the machine. The methodology of this project includes the collection of data, brainstorming and interprets data, design concept, analysis, fabrication, and testing. The design of the automatic swiftlets feeding machine is using Solidworks software. With this software, the structure can be analyzed to Finite Element Analysis (FEA) directly. The flow of the air from the blower that acts as the mechanism in this machine can be analyzed by using the Computational Fluid Dynamis (CFD) simulation. The result of the analysis is shown in the form of the finite element analysis, particle trajectory of food, and the air flow from the blower.Currently, the bird house entrepreneur feeds the bird manually, and there is the opportunity to develop the feeding machine for swiftlets with good efficiency.
