| Interest and research work on soybean has been brought back into action due to its increasing demand as a cash crop and as the cheapest source of protein. Its production and processing can only be achieved and maximize with the help of agricultural equipment for handling, transporting, processing and storage of soybean seeds. The design-related physical properties of soybean seeds for two varieties TGX 1448-2E and TGX 1835-10E in terms of moisture content at an array of 10.21-18.37 (% d.b) were determined. Standard methods were employed in the experimental study and the results of the properties were found to be dependent on moisture content. For the angle of repose and static friction coefficient, the values were found to increase in descending order of... |

| Effect of moisture content on some engineering properties of groundnut pods and kernels were investigated. Two groundnut varieties were used namely; Manipintar and Ex-Dakar. The properties investigated were principal dimensions, porosity, bulk density, true density, angle of repose and static coefficient of friction as dependent variables while moisture content is the independent variable. At an increasing moisture content of 7.3 – 25.2 % d.b., the mean length, thickness, width, geometric mean diameter, arithmetic mean diameter and surface area for Ex-Dakar pods were 30.6 - 33.46, 12.55 - 14.89, 12.8 - 14.03, 16.88 – 18.71, 18.61 - 20.75 mm and 904.86 – 1099.73 cm2, respectively. The corresponding mean values for the Manipintar pods were 18.60 – 30.89,... |
