Abstract:

The study showed that the physical and engineering properties of 20 chickpea seeds such as length, width, thickness, sphericity, aspect ratio, geometric mean diameter, thousand seed weight, bulk density and moisture content. The average length, width, thickness, sphericity, aspect ratio, geometric mean diameter, thousand seed weight, bulk density and angle of repose are 8.48 mm, 6.45 mm, 6.03 mm, 0.81, 75.54 %, 6.90 mm, 244.85 g, 709.55kg/m³ and 19.81 % respectively. This study is useful for design of metering mechanism for chickpea seeds.


Keywords: Width, Thickness, Sphericity, Aspect ratio, Geometric mean diameter
