Numerical simulation depicting dynamic infusion of moisture into a porous ceramic tile. This numerical simulation utilized the Richards equation, a commonly employed mathematical model for analyzing water distribution in the vadose zone. COMSOL Multiphysics, a software based on the finite element method, was employed to conduct the simulation.
As a junior at BUET, I collaborated on the design and development of an Automated Rice Husker to improve the nutritional quality of processed rice. The system was engineered to remove the outer chaff while preserving the nutrient-rich bran layer, distinguishing it from conventional steel-roller huskers that typically strip away this layer.
The device employed a motor-driven cam and camshaft mechanism to achieve controlled and efficient dehusking. By retaining the bran layer, the output remains brown rice, a whole grain with higher fiber and micronutrient content, promoting healthier dietary options and value-added food applications.

Our project is in the primary stage. In this stage, we have made the arrangement of removing chaff of grain and grinding of rice to make the floor.
Later on, automated input and output of rice will be added to our machine.
