Research Title:
Modification and Performance Evaluation of the BUCAF Cassava (Peeler at Varying
Speeds, Operation Types, and Sizes of Cassava Tubers
a. Null hypothesis:
● The modification of the BUCAF cassava peeler does not significantly affect its
performance, regardless of varying speeds, operation types, or sizes of cassava tubers.
b. Alternative hypothesis:
● The modification of the BUCAF cassava peeler significantly influences its performance,
with observable effects based on varying speeds, operation types, and sizes of cassava
tubers.
c. Test Factors:
● Speeds of the cassava peeler
● Operation types
● Sizes of cassava tubers

Research Title:
Performance Evaluation of Compression-Type Pili Nut Cracker
