Abstract:The objective of this study was to determine the physical properties of Jatropha curcas grains, such as: size, shape, density and porosity, and to determine the terminal velocity, comparing the results with those calculated from mathematical models available in the literature. To perform the experimental analysis, samples with different moisture contents, between 4 and 25% (wb), were selected. To determine the size and shape of the grains, sphericity and roundness characteristics were used, and it was found th… Show more
