Modeling of terminal velocity of orange to characterize suitable sorting process

In this study, the possibility of using terminal velocity of orange through water as a means of hydro-sorting was studied. Terminal velocity of orange was experimentally determined by using of water column method. The best model for terminal velocity of Valencia variety as a function of water and fruit densities, shape factor and fruit volume were modeled as
