MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR PREDICTING SPECIFIC GRAVITY ACROSS A STEM OF CALAMUS MANAN
Keywords:
Calamus manan, total specific gravity, position across the stem, peelingAbstract
The specific gravity of rotan manau, Calamus manan, was found to increase exponentially from the center of the stem towards the periphery. A mathematical model was developed to predict the specific gravity of a layer in the cross-section of the cane. The model was used to study the effect of peeling on the specific gravity of the rattan.
