| heal.abstract |
A microwave dielectric method for nondestructive instantaneous determination of bulk density and moisture content of pine pellets is presented. The method is based on measurement of dielectric properties, eε' and ε″, at microwave frequencies. Bulk density was determined from a complex-plane representation of the dielectric properties and does not require moisture content and temperature to be known. Moisture content was determined from measured eεand eε' independent of bulk density with a density-independent calibration function. The standard error of calibration for bulk density was about 0.02 g/cm3 and that of moisture content was about 0.4%. |
