Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is a major staple crop in Nigeria, as cassava itself and its products are found in the daily meals of Nigerians. Currently, cassava crop is undergoing a transition from a mere subsistent crop found on the field of peasants to a commercial crop that will be grown in large quantities in plantations. A flash dryer was designed, fabricated, assembled and tested following the standard procedures. The flash dryer is a mechanized way of drying cassava mash for mass production of cassava flour, for flour mills, confectionery and pharmaceutical industries. The traditional method of producing cassava flour, results to low product quality and quantity for industrial usage because the mode of drying is dependent on climatic conditions and... |

Maize and soybeans are agricultural materials that serve as food to both man and livestock and also serve as by-product used in manufacturing industries. The knowledge of some physical and mechanical properties of these seeds is important tool for designing agricultural machines and equipment for planting, harvesting, processing, packaging and storage. Some of the properties determined include size, geometric mean diameter, surface area, bulk volume, bulk density, true density, porosity, sphericity, angle of repose, coefficient of friction, rupture force and rupture energy. The mean values measured and recorded for the length, width, thickness, geometric mean diameter, surface area, bulk volume, bulk density, true density, porosity and sphericity of maize... |
