Prediction of pressure drop through packed beds of granular materials: influence of moisture reduction and air velocity

Abstract The influence of the moisture content of the solids on the pressure drop through packed beds of soy, barley, lentils and oats was investigated. The properties of the grains and the packed beds were determined varying the moisture contents of the solids between the equilibrium moisture conte...
