CHARACTERISATION OF COCONUT COIR UNDER COMPACTION: DETERMINATION OF PELLET DENSITY, SPECIFIC ENERGY AND COMPRESSION FORCE

Characterisation of Coconut Coir Under Compaction: Determination of Pellet Density, Specific Energy and Compression Force

Coconut coir dust has a potential utilization as bio-fuel pellet.The objective of this contribution is to understand the mechanical characterisation of coconut coir under compaction.Four moulds with hole diameter of 6, 12, 20 and focusrite rednet r1 25 mm are adopted in producing coconut coir pellet.Data of unit pellet density, compression force an
