Experimental determination of the parameters of the hydraulic transport system of fruit and vegetables

Abstract

The results of study of the characteristics of new varieties of fruits, root crops, berries, and vegetables that can move in the fluid flow are obtained. Their interaction with the friction surfaces of trays made of various building materials has been studied. The friction coefficients of rolling and sliding of fruits and vegetables on the wetted surfaces of open channels and trays have been established. They can be used in hydraulic calculations when determining the main parameters of a hydraulic transport installation.
