Effects Of Moisture Content On The Physical Proper Ties Of Tetrapleura Tetraptera:- Mbawuike Ekene
Abstract
The project aims at studying, the
effects of moisture content on the physical properties of Tctrapleuratctrptcra.
The study was carried out at the National soil, water, plant and fertilizer
laboratory .Umuahia . The study will involve reducing the moisture content of Tetrapleura
tetraptera and determining the physical properties (length, width, breadth)
oven drying method @105°c at 1 hr interval. These samples were analyzed to
determine the effects of moisture content on the physical properties, AMD, GMD,
EMD, SMD, Area, specific surface area, and roundness. As moisture content
decreases from Mcl-Mc3, the length, width and breadth of Tetrapleura tetraptera
decreased by 10%, 21%, 21% respectively. The average value of AMD, GMD, SMD,
EMD, Area, specific surface Area also decreased by 14%, 18%, 40% , 25%, 29%,
30%, and-41% respectively, as moisture content decreased. Sphericity is 0.4,
which is not spherical. Angle of repose was determined using metal, glass, wood
and plywood. Based on the study, metal and glass materials slides faster
therefore, should be used should sliding be necessary for any design
consideration on Terapleuratetraptera
