About the Book: Engineering Properties of Agricultural Produce
In any agricultural country, various types of agricultural commodities are
produced in large quantities and to handle such quantities during harvest,
post-harvest, processing and transportation, various types of equipment are
required. To design particular equipment or determining the behaviour of the
product for its handling, physical properties such as size, shape, surface area,
volume, density, porosity are very important. Various types of cleaning, grading
and separation equipment are designed on the basis of physical properties of
seeds such as size, shape, specific gravity etc.
The book will provide a fundamental understanding of engineering properties of
agricultural produce
