Settling depth of orange fruits and vegetables with the density lower than the density of water is an important\nhydrodynamic property important in hydraulic sorting and transporting. In this research, settling depth of orange fruit with\nregular shapes was experimentally modeled. The considered parameters in multivariate modeling were fruit characteristics,\ndensity, mass and volume, and dropping height of the fruits. The characteristics were determined by standard methods. The\nsettling depth was determined by a water column and a digital camera. The models were obtained in MATLAB software. The\nbest model was based on the density, volume and dropping height with coefficient of determination (R2) and mean squire\nerror (MSE) of 0.89 and 4.67Ã?â??10-7, respectively.
