A Design of a Solar Fermentation System on Chicken Manure by Fuzzy Logic Temperature Control

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...
