Some Physical and Engineering Properties of Sugar Beet Seeds in Relation with Some Agricultural Mechanical.
Abstract: Some properties of sugar beet seed species were determined to utilize for
design and develop the precision , handling process and cleaning systems . The main dimensions (length, width and thickness), spherisity, geometric mean diameter, arithmetic mean diameter, surface area, bulk density and true density were identified as physical parameters . Meanwhile, the terminal velocity, and hardness were measured as engineering properties. Results of the above investigated parameters showed that the mean of sugar beet seed properties data were 6.12mm, 5.30mm, 4.08mm, 7.22, 44.59mm, 5.17mm, 204.97mm, 0.277g/cm, 4.62g/cm, 1.66m/sec and 17.64N respectively for multi- germ species. But, the same data at mono - germ were 4.34mm, 4.14mm, 3.82mm, 5.28, 22.94mm, 4.10mm, 112.96mm, .439g/cm, 0.747g/cm, 3.049m/sec and 23.29N respectively.
The mean values for the coefficient of friction were 0.4765, 0.5108, 0.5704 and .7276 on stainless steel, iron sheet galvanized, plastic and rubber matrials
respectively for multi - germ seeds. Furthermore, the mean values for the oefficient offriction were 0.2609, 0.2894, 0.3027 and 0.3537 on stainless steel, ron sheet alvanized, plastic and rubber matrials rsspectively for mono - germ seeds.
Keywords : Sugar beet, spherisity, geometric diameter, arithmeter, surface rea, bulk density and true density terminal velocity, coefficient of friction nd hardness.
