Abstract

A study was conducted to determine physical, frictional, and flow properties of different varieties of pea (Pisum sativam Physical frictional and flow properties of ‘Arkel’, ‘Ageti’, ‘Pb-87’, ‘Pb-88’ and ‘Mithi phali’ varieties werc determined. There were no significant differences in particle density and porosity for different varities. However, all other properties has significant differences. Flow properties werc observed to be linearly dependent upon compaction load.
