Abstract
For the importance of medicinal and aromatic
seeds which were require the keep quality and germination efficiency to rich
the production and export. The create data bank for the medicinal and aromatic
seeds properties is important to achieve the research aim by reduce time,
effort and cost at design and development the agricultural machines and
equipment. The experimental studied include the seven varieties of medicinal
and aromatic seeds types and four levels of soaking time. The measurements and
determination of the seed’s properties were done on the dry seeds (before
soaking) “main dimensions, frequency, volume, geometric and arithmetic mean
diameters, surface area, roundness, bulk density, 1000 seeds mass, terminal
velocity and moisture content” and the effective properties, of soaking seeds
moisture contents, at coefficient of friction and repose angle. The results
concluded that the linear models have a perfect to describe the relation
between the each of bulk density, volume and roundness with the main dimensions
of different seeds under study. The study recommends the possibility of
applying the resulting mathematical models to obtain results that help in
designing the appropriate size and capacity of tanks. Appropriate angles and
manufacturing materials can also be selected according to the moisture content
of the seeds, the coefficient of friction, and the stacking angle in
agricultural machinery, transport, handling, and storage equipment.
