The determination of the engineering properties cashew nut is essential as basis for design and development appropriate optimum post-harvest handling processing machinery. present study examined physical, mechanical colour nuts (n = 100) at a moisture content 7.63% (wet basis) derived from Central Java, Indonesia. main characteristics included length, width, thickness, mass, volume, density. de...

In order to improve the calculation efficiency of a discrete element EDEM (Discrete Element Method) numerical simulation software for micron particles, particle model is linearly enlarged. At same time, parameters amplified particles were calibrated according Hertz-Mindlin with JKR (Johnson-Kendall-Roberts) contact make have flow characteristics as actual particles. Actual tests utilized gather...

Abstract In order to improve the flowability of lithium hydroxide powder, powder in a company was selected under conveying condition. The degree circularity used quantitatively characterize micro-morphology and influence particle size on studied by angle repose method, HR method Carr index method. results show that gets better with increasing size. But fine particles (≤ 100μm) is poor, while me...

in this paper, a novel approach for ranking fuzzy numbers based on the angle measure is introduced. several left and right spreads at each chosen levels of fuzzy numbers is used to determine center of mass points(cmps) and then, the angels between the cmps and the horizontal axis is calculated. the total angle is determined by averaging the computed angles and finally, the novel method is compa...

Large landslides exhibit surprisingly long runout distances compared to a rigid body sliding from the same slope, and the mechanism of this phenomena has been studied for decades. This paper shows that the observed long runouts can be explained quite simply via a granular pile flowing downhill, while collapsing and spreading, without the need for frictional weakening that has traditionally been...

A cross-diffusion system of parabolic equations for the relative concentration and the dynamic repose angle of a mixture of two different granular materials in a long rotating drum is studied. The main feature of the system is the ability to describe the axial segregation of the two granular components. The existence of global-in-time weak solutions is shown by using entropy-type inequalities a...

The use of capsules in Indonesian society is quite widely used because they only have attractive shapes and colors. Capsules are considered to help patients who do not take medicine the taste good or tends be bitter. In this study, researchers tried make two formulations compare effect differences percentage PVP on results physical preparation evaluation test amoxicillin capsules. tests carried...
