Engin Ozgoz, O. Faruk Taser and Ebubekir Altuntas

Abstract: Physical properties often required for the designing of harvesting, transporting, elevating, peeling, drying, calibrating, crashing machineries were determined at dry base moisture content of 12.27% (yarma) and 13.4% (bulgur). The values of average length, width, thickness and geometric mean diameter of yarma were 6.35, 3.32, 2.94 and 3.95 mm. The mean spherity value of yarma was obtained as 0.62. One hundred grain weights of yarma and bulgur grain were 4.36 and 1.02 g, respectively. The mean bulk and true densities were 709, 1258.19 kg m-3, respectively for yarma and were 765, 1444.72 kg m-3, respectively for bulgur. The angle of repose of yarma and bulgur were 14.4° and 16.2°, respectively. The values of coefficient of dynamic friction against galvanized steel, mild steel and plywood surfaces were 0.25, 031 and 0.34, respectively for yarma grain and 0.33, 0.39 and 0.45, respectively for bulgur grain; while the values of coefficient of static friction were 0.30, 0.39 and 0.39, respectively for yarma grain and 0.38, 0.53 and 0.53, respectively for bulgur grain.
