T. Kapur et al., RICE PROCESSING IN INDIA - A GENERALIZED FRAMEWORK FOR ENERGY DEMAND ESTIMATION, International journal of energy research, 21(4), 1997, pp. 309-325
A generalized framework for the estimation of primary energy demand fo
r parboiling and milling of paddy in India has been proposed. The depe
ndence of both the electrical and thermal energy components of the dem
and on different methods of parboiling and technologies for milling ha
ve been considered. The possible uncertainties in the above estimation
have also been identified A few numerical calculations have been made
for some typical technology/product mix scenarios. (C) 1997 by John W
