Effects of the time
rate of deformation and aspect ratio on mechanical response and
performance in single cycle cold compression scheme were investigated for bulk sesame seeds
and response forms fitted using forward stepwise multiple regression technique. The degree of
deform
ation was dependent on the time rate of its induction and the equipment’s aspect ratio.
Energy requirement correlated positively with deformation rate and aspect ratio. Energy
expenditure was however more efficient with larger aspect ratios than with small
er ones, given
the associated volume energy demands. Strain resistance correlated positively with each of the
two influence factors. The time rate of deformation was the most important predictor of oil yield
and performance. All the fitted forms had highly
significant effects in predicting the responses
investigated with 76.7
–
99.6% of the behaviours of the system explained. The results are valid
within the ranges of the influence parameters investigated.
