Numerical modeling of artificial egg incubator efficiency

Abstract

In summary, this work presented the essential points enabling the process of operating the artificial incubator, having sought to establish the link between theory and reality, the experimental phase was tackled. This involved manipulating the prototype artificial incubator materialized in the mechanical workshop of the Institut Supérieur de Techniques Appliquées de Kinshasa. The Matlab software was used to run simulations which produced results showing the variation in egg hatching rate as a function of temperature, the variation in internal temperature as a function of the incubator's external temperature, and the variation in humidity as a function of time (days). The results found were discussed with those found by other researchers.
