Determination of some aeroynamic properties of balo bell pepper for pneumatic sorting
Journal Title: ISB-INMA TEH AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 8
Abstract
Aerodynamic characteristic of agricultural products have long been carried out to determined convey or separate properties of seeds and grains in post-harvest operations but not used for determined for sorting processing. To design machines to sort out of bell peppers in different size, aerodynamic properties (terminal velocity, drag force and coefficient in x and y axis of pepper and Reynold number) of were determined in this experimental study. The terminal velocity of the bell pepper ranged from 18.83 to 28.29 m/s and average value of it is 24.17 m/s. Drag coefficient the samples ranged from 0.324 to 0.746 in y axis and from 0.364 to 0.814 in x axis and drag force of the bell pepper ranged from 0.81 to 1.35 N in y axis and
