Abstract:

 The design of seed processing machines requires the determination of the physical properties of seeds. In this study, various physical properties of seeds obtained from Cephalaria syriaca L. plants grown under different conditions were investigated. The moisture content of the seeds used was found to be 6.61  0.43 dry basis. Measurements of seeds grown under panel conditions revealed that the seed length, width, and thickness were 6.00  0.46 mm, 2.09  0.24 mm, and 1.65  0.21 mm, respectively. Additionally, the geometric mean diameter 2.74  0.20 mm, sphericity 0.46  0.04, and surface area 8.59  0.63 mm² were calculated. The highest bulk density and the lowest thousand-seed weight were also observed in seeds grown under panel conditions. Measurements on different materials glass, rubber, stainless steel, MDF, aluminum, and galvanized steel indicated that the highest static coefficient of friction occurred on the rubber surface, while the lowest was observed on the glass surface. The results of the study can be used to evaluate solar energy plants that are allowed to be established in marginal agricultural lands together with the Cephalaria syriaca L. plant that can be grown on the same lands.

 Tohum işleme makinalarının tasarımı için tohumların fiziksel özelliklerinin belirlenmesi gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada, farklı koşullarda yetiştirilen pelemir bitkisinden elde edilen tohumların bazı fiziksel özellikleri araştırılmıştır. Kullanılan tohumların nem içeriği 6,610,43 kuru baz olarak tespit edilmiştir. Panel altı koşulunda yetiştirilmiş pelemir tohumlarının boy 6,000,46 mm, en 2,090,24 mm ve kalınlık 1,650,21 mm değerleri ölçülmüş ve geometrik ortalama çap 2,740,20 mm, küresellik 0,460,04 ile yüzey alanı 8,590,63 mm² ise hesaplanmıştır. En yüksek hacmi ağırlığı ve en düşük 1000 tane ağırlığı da panel altı koşullarından elde edilen tohumlarda gerçekleşmiştir. Farklı malzemelerde Cam, kauçuk, paslanmaz, mdf, alüminyum ve galvaniz yapılan ölçümler sonucunda en yüksek statik sürtünme katsayısı kauçuk yüzeyde, en düşük ise cam yüzeyde gerçekleşmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçları, marjinal tarım arazilerinde kurulmasına izin verilen güneş enerjisi santralleri ile yine aynı arazilerde yetiştiriciliği mümkün olan pelemir bitkisinin birlikte değerlendirilmesi amacıyla kullanılabilecektir.
