“…Toluene was used in place of water because it is absorbed by the seeds to a lesser extent. The volume of toluene displaced was found by immersing a weighted quantity of dent corn seeds in the toluene (Coşkun et al, 2006;Kasap and Altuntas, 2006).…”

In this study, physical properties of seeds of Simon and Goldeclat dent corn (Zea mays var. indentətə sturt) cultivars as a function of moisture content were evaluated. Three levels of moisture ranging from 12.76 to 17.0% (dry basis), and 11.09 to 16.48% (dry basis) were used for Simon and Goldeclat cv., respectively. The averaged length, width, thickness, arithmetic and geometric mean diameter of seeds ranged from 10.54, 7.26, 4.57, 116.46 and 7.04 mm for Simon cv.; 10.80, 6.89, 4.81, 119.42 and 7.09 mm for Goldeclat cv., respectively. The sphericity, volume and surface area increased linearly from 0.668 to 0.684, 125.94 to 162.51 mm 3 , 131.13 to 154.37 mm 2 for Simon cv.; 0.657 to 0.670, 128.19 to 155.63 mm 3 , 133.18 to 150.89 mm 2 for Goldeclat cv., respectively. The bulk densities decreased from 762.60 to 675.51 kg/m 3 and from 783.37 to 714.48 kg/m 3 and true densities decreased from 1425.07 to 1367.35 kg/m 3 and from 1455.0 to 1396.36 kg/m 3 for Simon and Goldeclat cv., respectively, whereas, the angle of repose increased from 23.50 to 26.65° band from 21.86 to 25.27°. The static coefficients for friction of dent corn seeds were determined steel, plywood, wood, glass and galvanized sheet at various moisture contents. The highest static coefficient of friction was found on the wood and the lowest on the glass sheet among the materials tested.

“…The coefficient of friction of grain legume seeds was measured by a friction device. the measuring device of friction force is formed by a metal box, a friction surface, and an electronic unit, which covers the mechanical force unit, electronic variator, loadcell, electronic ADC (Analog digital converter) card, and PC (personel computer) (kara et al 1997;kasap & Altuntas 2006). Friction forces were measured by the loadcell, converted by the ADC card, and data were recorded in a computer.…”

This study was carried out to determine the effect of moisture content on physical properties of some grain legumes seeds such as kidney bean (Phaselous vulgaris), dry pea (Pisum sativum),and black-eyed pea (Vigna sinensis) seeds. Three different moisture contents for each grain legume were evaluated. The average length, width, thickness, geometric mean diameter, and unit mass of seeds ranged from 16.66, 8.86, 7.17, 10.17mm, and 0.715g for kidney bean; 7.46, 6.02, 4.49, 5.85mm, and 0.158g for pea; 9. 19, 6.96, 6.26, 7.32mm, and 0.255 g for black-eyed pea at a moisture content of 8.21%, 8.20%, and 5.66% (wet basis), respectively. The sphericity, thousand-seed mass (1000-seed mass), and projected area increased, whereas the bulk and kernel densities linearly decreased with an increase in moisture content for each grain legume seed. The porosity, the volume of seed, and angle of repose increased for three grain legumes seeds, whereas the angle of repose decreased for blackeyed pea seeds in the moisture contents studied. The static and dynamic coefficients of friction on various surfaces, namely, galvanised metal, chipboard, mild steel, plywood, and rubber also linearly increased with an increase in moisture content of each grain legume seed.

“…Before starting the tests, the required quantities of the samples were taken out of the refrigerator and allowed to warm to room temperature for about 2 h. All the physical properties of the pod and kernel were assessed at moisture levels of 8. [21,28,18,14] .…”
