An analysis of usefulness of raspberry stalks for briquette production
Journal Title: Journal of Research and Applications in Agricultural Engineering (ISSN 1642-686X) - Year 2019, Vol 64, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper presents research on the strength properties of raspberry stems from cuttings and their suitability for the production of briquettes. For this purpose, the cutting resistance, Charpy impact and bending stiffness of raspberry stalks were determined. Then briquettes were made to define their mechanical strength for different moisture contents. After that the heat of combustion of the briquettes was checked.
