| Due to the success of air-jet in food and agricultural sciences, in order to eliminate a number of problems in mechanical methods of removing sunflower seeds from the head, a new method was invented based on impingement jets. In fact, the aim of presenting the air-jet impingement method was not to design this simple machine. But when we started designing the final machine, we realized that we need to take a step back and study the jet parameters in simple and static state. The effect of the seeds’ location on sunflower head, reservoir pressure, the angle of impingement, nozzle diameter and the distance between the nozzle outlet and the surface of the sunflower head on the removed area of sunflower head in static conditions were examined. The regions... |
