Abstract: | Various biometric, engineering and frictional properties of tapioca Manihot esculenta plant height, stem girth diameter, tuber depth, tuber spread and weight of tuber soil clump were determined as 2390 mm, 31.02 mm, 250.3 mm, 501.3 mm and 15.46 kg, respectively. The major diameter, intermediate diameter, minor diameter, geometric mean diameter and arithmetic mean diameter of tapioca roots were 52.76 mm, 49.60 mm, 33.36 mm, 42.50 mm and 45.24 mm. The sphericity and surface area were 0.81 per cent and 5869.73 mm , respectively. The tuber volume and bulk density observed was 425.8 cm and 0.57 g/cm , respectively. The angle of repose of tapioca 2 3 3 roots was 34.62° and the coefficient of friction on three different material surfaces varied from 0.55 to 0.79 on wood, 0.41 to 0.67 on galvanized sheet and 0.30 to 0.55 on stainless steel. The moisture content varied from 74.22 to 68.20 per cent (w.b.). |
