Estudo da resistência ao fluxo de ar em uma camada de canola Iciola-41 (Brassica napus L. var. oleifera).

Abstract

Air pressure gradients for various fluxes were obtained, experimentally, through a vertical layer of canola, variety Iciola-41. The experimental results were then compared to data for other varieties, found in the literature. The canola Iciola-41 and the variety Tower, studied by HUNTER (1983), presented practically the same gradients, while the varieties Tobin and Westar, studied by JAYAS (1987), presented air flow resistance in the order of 14 % higher. A comparison of pressure gradients for the canola and for other agricultural products showed the canola to be the most flow resistant.
