| Some selected physical properties of five varieties of mung bean grain seeds (EBSUpant1, EBSUpant2, EBSUpant3, EBSUpant4, and EBSUpant5) grown by the Department of Crop and Landscape Management, Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki, such as geometric properties (linear dimensions, sphericity, geometric and arithmetic mean diameters and surface area), gravimetric properties (true density, bulk density and porosity) and frictional properties (angles of repose and coefficient of friction) were determined as a function of moisture content in the range of 8.59 to 21.48, 8.35 to 20.90, 8.48 to 21.20, 8.69 to 21.73, and 8.88 to 22.20 % (w.b.), respectively. The results showed that the mean values of all geometric properties increased with increasing moisture... |
