Drying is a common process step for agricultural grain products ease of handling and to achieve the desired quality levels. One commodities that have high economic value produced by farmers in Lampung Province cocoa beans. The drying may change physical properties beans affect processing at later stage. This study aims determine effect temperature on changes such as dimension, volume, weight, s...

The manual seeding, harvesting and processing operations are the most labour intensive current practices have many drawbacks. physical properties of seeds play an important role for designing or fabricating toolsor devices which meant various crop management operations. Therefore, maize such as mass, geometric mean diameter, arithmetic sphericity projected areas length, width thickness were stu...

The effect of variety and moisture content on some engineering properties of five improved paddy rice varieties was investigated within moisture content range of 10% and 30% dry basis (d.b.). Increase in moisture content was found to increase the linear dimensions, mass of 100 seeds, surface area, apparent volume, true volume, arithmetic mean diameter, effective geometric diameter, sphericity, ...

Some physical properties of musk lime (Citrus microcarpa) were determined in this study. The average moisture content (wet basis) of the fruit was found to be 85.10 (±0.72) %. The mean of length, width and thickness of the fruit was 26.36 (±0.97), 26.40 (±1.04) and 25.26 (±0.94) mm respectively. The average value for geometric mean diameter, sphericity, aspect ratio, mass, surface area, volume,...

introduction breeding quail and quail egg industrial production because of the high nutritional value of these products has been developing these years. considering the high demand and economical production, further development in the future is predicted. in order to design and effective utilization of the equipment for transportation, separation, packaging and storage, the physical and mechani...

investigating downstream changes in bed load shape can be useful to detect watershedhydrological processes and it is very important to design hydraulic structures and to managecapacity of large storage dams, properly. regarding to doing of enforcement studies, thisresearch was conducted in qalesar river in upstream of chahardangeh watershed in mazandaranprovince. after recognition of the study ...

in this study, moisture dependent physical, mechanical and nutritional properties of sesame seed were evaluated. in the moisture range of 4.54–19.27% (d.b.), seed length, width, thickness, arithmetic mean diameter and geometric mean diameter increased linearly from 2.93 to 3.01 mm, 1.74 to 1.78 mm, 0.78 to 0.86 mm, 1.81 to 1.88 mm and 1.58 to 1.66 mm respectively with increase in moisture conte...

a knowledge of physical and aerodynamic properties of agricultural crops is important and essentially required for the design and development of a crop's harvesting and post-harvesting equipments. in the present research, experiments were conducted to determine physical and aerodynamic properties of fars province pinto bean namely: kernel size and shape (length, width, thickness, projected...
