Engineering properties of sorghum
Author(s): Surpam TB, Pardeshi IL and Rokade HN
Abstract: The engineering properties of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) were determined at moisture content of 9.15% (wb). The mean values obtained for length, width and thickness were 4.39, 4.20 and 2.64 mm, respectively. The average value for geometric mean diameter, sphericity, weight of thousand grains, bulk density and true density were 3.64 mm, 0.834, 35.16 g, 812.4 kg/m3 and 1448.39 kg/m3 respectively. The angle of repose mean value was 35º. The co-efficient of static friction on three types of structural material were found to be 0.20 (steel), 0.0.23 (galvanised iron sheet) and 0.24 (wooden).
