physical and mechanical properties of alfalfa grind as affected by particle size and moisture content

physical and mechanical properties of alfalfa (medicago sativa, l.) grind are required for optimum design of equipment used in transporting, processing and storage of the material. this study was conducted to determine the effect of particle size (2.38, 3.36 and 4.76 mm) and moisture content (8, 9.3 and 11% wb) on some physical and mechanical properties of alfalfa grind. these properties includ...

terminal velocity of chopped corn silage and its separate fractions as affected by moisture content

knowledge of the aerodynamic properties of agricultural materials is needed in equip-ment design for operations such as pneumatic conveying in loading/unloading operations of corn silage into/from silos. while considerable information is available on seed grains, little is known about the aerodynamic behavior of corn (zea mays l.) silage. in this re-search, the weighed mean terminal velocity of...

physical and aerodynamic properties of pinto bean grain as affected by moisture content

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...

Airflow Resistance of Rough Rice as Affected by Moisture Content, Fines Concentration and Bulk Density

THE effect of moisture content, fine material con­ centration and bulk density on the airflow resistance of long-grain rough rice was determined. Airflow resistance was measured at air velocities ranging from 0.013 to 0.387 mis, bulk densities from 480 to 604 kg/m3, fines concentrations from 0 to 30% and moisture contents from 12 to 24 %. Airflow resistance was accurately described by an empiri...
