The average flaxseed length, width, thickness and 1000 seed mass were 4.64 mm, 2.37 mm, 1.0 mm and 5.77 g, respectively. The average surface area was 15.49 mm2 while the sphericity and aspect ratio were 0.48 and 51.04%, respectively. The average bulk density was 652.16 kg/m3 while the true density was 784.36 kg/m3, and the corresponding porosity was 16.83%. The angle of repose for flaxseed was 24.40 while the terminal velocity was 2.9 m/s. The results showed that the mean value of static coefficient friction was least in case of plastic sheet while it is highest for rubber sheet. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
