Abstract

A procedure is outlined for determining the complex permittivity components of solid materials of known densities from those properties of granular or pulverized samples measured at a few different bulk densities. Properties of the solid are obtained by extrapolation of functions of the dielectric constant and loss factor that are linearly related to the bulk density of the air-particle mixture. Examples are given for whole-kernel wheat, ground white rice, and pulverized goethite.
