The geometric mean diameter, sphericity, grain surface area, 1000 grain mass, true density (toluene displacement method), terminal velocity, dynamic angle of repose, coefficient of internal friction, coefficient of static friction at different surfaces (sun mica, canvas and mild steel...

Abstract Optimization of machine parameters using response surface methodology (RSM) greatly overcomes the numbers of experimental trials generally undertaken for milling study of pigeon pea apart from maximizing the output of the system. The independent milling parameters for Central...

A pedal-operated paddy thresher (the VL paddy thresher) was designed and developed at VPKAS, Almora, Uttrakhand, India. The machine performance was evaluated for optimal design parameters, viz., wire loop spacing 39.1mm, wire loop tip height 60.6mm and threshing drum speed 339.46mmin1. The...
