| In this study, physical and engineering properties such as length, diameter, size, mass of 1000 seeds, sphericity, surface area, volume, true density and bulk density of grass pea were determined. Determination of physical and engineering properties of grain and agricultural products is important in the design of harvesting, handling, and processing equipment. Physical and engineering properties of grass pea were performed over moisture content range from 10.65 to 19.92 (d.b.). Increasing of moisture content was found to increase mass of 1000 seeds kernel surface area, kernel volume, and static friction coefficient, while decreasing bulk density, true density, and porosity. Kernel length, width, thickness, and effective mean diameter increased from 6.342... |
