Graphical user interface based design of modified pau janta model biogas plant

Biogas is an alternative clean fuel which can replace fossil fuels as well as frewood and cattle dung. The efciency of biogas plant can improve if properly designed. A Graphical User Interface (GUI) with software was developed for designing modifed PAU Janta model biogas plant. The design of biogas plant using software can save time and efort while avoiding errors. The coding was done in MATLAB R2015a and a graphical user interface was made to make it user friendly. The output is displayed as dimensions of the diferent components such as mixing tank, digester, dome, and outlet tank, whereas, input is given as size of biogas plant and retention time in GUI. The objective of this study was to make a graphical user interface and software for designing modifed PAU Janta Model. The computed dimensions were compared with the manual calculation and results were matching as indicated by t-test at 95% confdence level.
