Airflow Resistance of Solid-Separated Dairy Waste for Drying and Storage

The resistance of solid-separated solid wastes (SSDWs) to moderate airflow ranging from 0.05 0.30 m3/s-m2 was measured at various bed depths and moisture levels. pressure drop across a loose-fill fixed column observed increase more rapidly with increasing rates than depths. An in the content (10 percentage points) caused decrease by an average 13.2–17.0%, evaluated within 10–40% (MC) range. A full-factorial model analysis using standard least squares used describe main effects interactions test parameters predicting drop. Hukill Ives nonlinear able accurately data SSDWs MCs. Empirical curves describing SSDW were developed aid preliminary design ventilation systems for drying storage.
