Family Harvest Storage Space Calculation

Its printed title: Architectural Space Requirements and Structural Thermodynamics for Subterranean and Agricultural Food Storage Systems

The space a family of four needs to store a year's food, worked from German per-head consumption and bulk densities into volumes for a root cellar, a grain silo and a smokehouse. It sets out soil-temperature models for siting the cellar, pressure and flow rules for silos, and a curing-house layout. Its volumes are in cubic feet and its silo design leans to corrugated steel. The cellar temperature and equations were lost in extraction.
