Effects of moisture and particle size on alfalfa’s thermal conductance, diffusivity, and heat capacity

Researching the thermal characteristic parameters of alfalfa is fundamental importance for accurately measuring heat transfer and distribution during compression process. Therefore, were measured using transient plane source method. Additionally, study examined impact moisture content particle size on alfalfa. The experimental results indicated that conductivity increased with higher content, it decreased increase size. Similarly, specific capacity water while had little effect capacity. diffusion coefficient initially then stabilized content. Moreover, influence was not significant. obtained are valuable investigating temperature changes densification process
