A microwave method for on-line determination of bulk density and moisture content of particulate materials
A new method for simultaneous and independent on-line determination of bulk density and moisture content in particulate materials by measurements of the relative complex permittivity is proposed. The bulk density is determined, based on a representation in the complex plane of relative complex permittivity normalized to bulk density. For moisture content determination, a new density-independent...
متن کاملDensity-independent Microwave Measurement of Moisture Content in Static and Flowing Grain
Conventional techniques for the determination of moisture content in grain often use small static samples to represent several tons of material, A more desirable alternative would be a method which utilizes continuous dynamic moisture measurement of the grain. The potential for making density-independent moisture content measurements in both static and flowing grain using microwave frequencies ...
متن کاملComparison of Density-independent Expressions for Moisture Content Determination in Wheat at Microwave Frequencies
The accuracy of moisture content determination in grain from measurement of electromagnetic parameters is known to be dependent on the bulk density of the sample used for the measurement. Various means of limiting this effect have been considered in the past. This paper identifies various density-independent expressions developed for this purpose and compares their effectiveness in minimizing t...
متن کاملFrequency Optimization for Dynamic Measurements of Wide-range Moisture Content using Microwave
This paper describes dynamic and static measurement methods for wide-range moisture content of agricultural products such as rice and silage. The proposed method uses the attenuation and phase shift of the microwave transmitted signal through a microstrip transmission line (MSTL) sensor. The results of dynamic measurements of rice samples with low moisture content(< 18 %) showed close agreement...
متن کاملDensity-independent high moisture content measurement using phase shifts at two microwave frequencies.
Density-independent high moisture content measurement is required in actual production line. In this paper, the experimental results for high moisture content measurement using microwave free-space technique are presented. The method is based on a ratio of phase shifts at two microwave frequencies after propagating through a sample. The experiments were performed with three kinds of sawdust nam...
