“…A typical example corresponds to the control temperature in ferment tanks of non-distilled alcoholic beverages e.g beer [1][2][3][4][5][6] and wine [7][8][9]. Thermostats are also important for feeding processes as [10], bioreactors [11], reproduction of bacteria in lactose [12], biofuel production, among others [13][14][15][16][17][18] including micro-controllers and analogical components.…”

In this manuscript, we propose a simplified mathematical model based on the heat transfer laws to predict the temperature profiles of a liquid controlled by a simple thermostat. The model result in a set of linear ordinary differential equations ODEs with forcing which turn on and off at a priori unknown times TM = {ζ0, ζ1, . . . , ζM}. The p-th switch-time ζp ∈ Tp is calculated from the zeros of a function Q(χ) = Q(χ; ζ1, . . . , ζp−1) coming from analytical solutions of the system depending on the previous times ζ1, . . . , ζp−1. The mathematical problem can be solved by using standard techniques for solving ODEs once TM is calculated by M-successive iterations of the conditional expression Q(χ = ζp) = 0 and the Newton-Raphson method. We provide analytical expressions for the temperature as a function of time and TM considering direct (DC) and alternate (AC) feeding voltages. We solve the system using this numerical-analytical approach and compare it with the results of the 4th Runge–Kutta method finding a good agreement between both methods.

“…However, in order to maintain a suitable temperature for microbial fermentation, a solar temperature-controlled livestock manure fermentation system was designed in the current study [13]; it aims to effectively control the temperature of the fermentation tank by fuzzy logic algorithm and shorten the fermentation time by using solar heating. Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) linearly interpolating any value between zero and one differs from traditional controls of zero and one only [14].…”

Traditional chicken manure fermentation is mostly natural composting or exposure, which is not only time consuming but also susceptible to weather, resulting in uncontrollable quality and environmental pollution. This research aims to build a smart solar chicken manure fermentation system to control the conditions of chicken manure fermentation effectively, improve quality, and solve the problems of environmental pollution. Hot water produced by solar energy is the heat source for the main system of fermentation, and a backup supplemental heat source by gas heater is applied. The mechanism of drive, agitation, ventilation and drying as well as temperature conditions are controlled by the Arduino’s control core. Fuzzy logic is applied to maintain the optimal temperature, so that the system decomposes the bacteria optimally and reduces the consumed time for fermentation. The chicken manure humidity can be decreased from 70% to 30%, and the effective control system temperature is between 40 and 42 °C, while the pH value is changed from 8.7 to 7.4. The sample analysis of the fermentation also shows that there was 13.12% more organic matter in the chicken manure that added the decomposing bacteria than which did not contain the decomposing bacteria.
