Agric Engineering

Introduction

For power to be transmitted from one machine to another over a distance there is need for a transmission mechanism. Therefore, mechanical drives are mechanism which is intended to transmit mechanical power over a certain distance usually involving a …

Some of the physical properties of agricultural produce include the following:

1. Shape indices
2. Moisture content

The moisture content is discussed HERE . Now we shall focus on the shape indices of Agricultural materials.

Determination of Some Shape Indices of Agricultural …

Introduction

     Moisture content in simple terminologies means water contents; it is the amount of water found in any agricultural produce. Many of the agricultural produce harvested from field has some level of moisture present in them and we need to …

Introduction

     In order to design Agro-processing machine effectively, the study of the physical and mechanical properties of seed and grain is essential for optimal machine design, selection, and operation (Faleye, T. et al).      The coefficient of static friction is one …

Introduction

     In the processing, handling and storage of agricultural produce, “granular materials” means Grain, fruit and seeds and these granular materials possesses frictional properties (Mohsennin 1978). According to (Ogbonnaya and Fatai, 2007) the rapid method of assessing the behavior of …
