Abstract:
The current study was carried out to look into the engineering properties of Grain amranthus. Engineering properties of Grain amranthus were determined at moisture content of 9%. The average value for size, true density, bulk density, porosity and weight of 1000 grains were 1 mm, 1389.06 kg/m³, 834.66 kg/m³, and 39.90% respectively. Average value for angle of repose was found to be 24.7⁰. The coefficient of friction on three types of structural material was found to be 0.386 (plywood surface), 0.35606 (glass), and 0.363 (mildsteel) respectively. The study is important for designers and processors for developing processing equipment.
