Moisture Content of Southern Pine as Related
Holes 3-1/2 inches deep were bored with a I-inch spur machine bit in southern pine having specific gravity of 0.53 (ovendry weight and volume at 10.4 percent moisture). The bit was rotated at 2,400 rpm and removed chips 0.020 inch thick. For wood moisture contents ranging from ovendry to saturation, thrust was lower when boring along the grain (average 98 pounds) than across the grain (average ...
متن کاملRheological and Physicochemical Properties of Honeys as a Function of Temperature, Concentration and Moisture Content
In this study the rheological and physicochemical properties of four types of honeys, two poly floral (Mountain, Forest) and two mono floral (Sunflower, Ivy), were investigated. Rheological characteristics of honeys were evaluated at different temperatures (10, 15, 20, 25 and 30ºC). All the honeys exhibited Newtonian behavior for shear rate in the range of 1.045-41.8 s-1. The viscosity of sampl...
متن کاملDetermination of Moisture Content
Drying: moisture measurement at the end of drying is essential to follow up drying course and to decide whether it is achieved or not. On one hand, too long a drying course may have bad consequences for quality and food safety because of unexpected fermentations and mould growth. On the other hand, the next step in the process is storage. Also, drying to a too low moisture content can result in...
متن کاملPrediction of corn and lentil moisture content using dielectric properties
Almost all properties of grains and seeds depend on moisture content. One of these properties is dielectric constant. Therefore capacitive sensor is used in precision agriculture widely. In this paper, a cylindrical capacitor was used to measure dielectric constant of seed. By measuring the dielectric constant, the moisture content of grains may be predicted. Change in dielectric constant of co...
متن کاملSoil Moisture Content
The assessment of soil moisture content and surface roughness from remotely sensed data is of primary importance for improving agricultural techniques of conservation farming such as yield forecasts, scheduling irrigations, fertilization. SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) remotely sensed data may provide a powerful tool for indirectly retrieving these agricultural surface parameters over large are...
