Development of Prediction Models of Selected Hydrodynamic Properties of Plum Fruit (Prunus domestica L.) in Water
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
In this study, some hydrodynamic properties of plum fruits in water were theoretically formulated. Generalized prediction equations were developed for drag force and terminal velocity of plum fruit in water using dimensional analysis and mathematical modelling methods. Reynolds number is the most significant term for drag force. Non-linear mathematical model which is relation to predict of terminal velocity, is the best due to has got high coefficient of determination. Shape factor and differences between water and fruit densities are most effectiveness than those of volume for terminal velocity. It can be concluded that plum fruit can be sorted based on their densities and shape factors.
