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, ...

The aim of the present study was to prepare an oral tablet from liquid yogurt by reforming the physical properties for easy transportation, long-term storage and also as a complementary dairy product in case of nutrient deficiency. The liquid fresh yogurt was lyophilized at -40°C and 0.03 mTor pressure. The dry powder was homogenized by a 12 mesh size sieve. Some tests such as Carr’s compressib...

Among many factors that influence an excavator’s performance and productivity, the volume of bucket load duration excavator working cycle are crucial. In this paper, both were investigated, including granulometric composition excavated material. The material in was determined by photogrammetric analysis while time measured video recordings captured a digital camera during operation. Interconnec...

We show that, when a mixture of small and large grains is simply poured in a g̀ranular Hele± Shaw cell’ (two transparent slabs separated by a gap of about 5mm), the grains spontaneously stratify in alternating layers of small and large grains parallel to the surface of the pile. The spontaneous self-strati® cation occurs only when the large grains have a larger angle of repose than the small gra...

We observe the formation of heaps of repulsive microspheres, created by flowing a colloidal microsphere suspension towards a flat-topped ridge placed within a quasi two-dimensional microfluidic channel. This configuration allows for both shear and normal forces on the microspheres in contact with the ridge. The heaps, which are formed against the ridge, are characterized by two distinct phases:...
