DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY APPARATUS FOR CASHEW NUT
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering Sciences & Research Technology - Year 30, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Experiments were conducted for determination of various physical properties of Vengurla-4 variety of cashew nut. The diameter or size and sphericity of cashew nut were found to be 21.92 mm and 0.68 respectively. The average gravimetric properties such as bulk density were found to be 533 kg/m3 , true density were 663.3 kg/m3 nd porosity were 19.6%. Angle of repose for cashew nut were found as 30.50. Thermal conductivity of cashew nut were determined at different moisture contents of 8.7%, 13.6%, 19% and 25%(d.b). Thermal conductivity at 8.7% were found to be 0.109 W/m0k, at 13.6% were 0.125 W/m0k, at 19% is 0.142 W/m0k and at 25% is 0.155 W/m0k. Thus thermal conductivity of cashew nut were found to be increase with increase of moisture content.
