2.14 A seed corn plant will process 1270 tonnes (50,000 bushels) of seed com each year of which 80% will be #13 flats (i.e., the corn passes through a 5.16 mm, or 13/64 in, slotted sieve). The distribution of intermediate diameters has a mean of 8.18 mm and a standard deviation of 0.73 mm. Assume the intermediate diameter is normally distributed a. Estimate the percentage of seed that will fall in the category of 13-27-25 flats (i.e., it passes through a 5.16 mm, or 13/64 in, slotted screen and a 10.71 mm, or 27/64 in, round-hole sieve and is retained on top of a 9.92 mm, or 25/64 in, round hole sieve). b. If the porosity of the grain is 40% and the average kernel density is 1.21 g/cm3, estimate the volume of 25.4 kg (a 56 lb bushel) of the seed. c. Estimate the minimum volume (m or ft3) required to store the 13-27-25 flats. 3 2.14 A seed corn plant will process 1270 tonnes (50,000 bushels) of seed com each year of which 80% will be #13 flats (i.e., the corn passes through a 5.16 mm, or 13/64 in, slotted sieve).
