Section 6: Agricultural Process Engineering

Engineering Properties of Agriculture Produce

Subtopic: Physical properties

Question Statement:

A grain kernel has major semi-diameter $a = 3.5\text{ mm}$, intermediate $b = 2.0\text{ mm}$, and minor $c = 1.5\text{ mm}$. Calculate the geometric mean diameter ($D_g = (a b c)^{1/3}$) in $\text{mm}$.

Answer Key:

2.19

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$D_g = (3.5 \times 2.0 \times 1.5)^{1/3} = (10.5)^{1/3} \approx 2.1897\text{ mm}$
