Effects Of Moisture Content On The Physical Properties Of Tetrapleura Tetraptera :- Mbawuike Ekene
Abstract
The project aims at studying the
effects of moisture content on the physical properties of Tetrapleuratclrptera.
1 he study was carried out at the National soil, water, plant and fertilizer laboratory
.Umuahia . 1 he study will involve reducing the moisture content of Tetrapleura
tetraptcra and determining the physical properties (length, width, breadth)
oven drying method @105°c at 1 hr interval. 1 hese 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
