1. Alternative Method for Measuring Fuel Consumption in Agricultural Machinery Using Arduino and Flow SensorsMonitoring fuel consumption in agricultural machinery is a strategic component of precision agriculture, as it is directly associated with operational efficiency, cost reduction, and the mitigation of CO₂ emissions. Despite technological advances in agricultural tractors, most machines, including recent models, do not feature dedicated sensors for direct fuel flow measurement, relying instead on visual fuel level indicators or estimates based on engine parameters, which limits the accuracy of...

2. Flow Rate and Discharge Coefficient Behavior of Spray Nozzles in a PWM SystemPulse width modulation (PWM) technology has been widely used in variable-rate pesticide applications, allowing flow control by varying the duty cycle while maintaining constant pressure. However, the intermittent operation of the flow may alter the hydraulic behavior of spray nozzles, influencing both the effective flow rate and the discharge coefficient (Cd). In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the behavior of flow rate and discharge coefficient of different spray nozzles... B. Costalonga Vargas, M.R. Furtado Júnior, A.L.
