Abstract
The distribution of temperature and of moisture content in the bulk hay-cube in a model freight container are measured. The transfer of moisture in the bulk cargo is discussed by using the data obtained from the experiments on the model container and the solution of simultaneous equations of heat and moisture. The changes of temperature and humidity in the bulk cargo are, as expected, larger in the surface and the outside than in the inner parts, due to daily temperature change of the outside of container. Moisture contents in the bulk cargo are larger in the colder and in the upper side than in the warmer and in the lower side, after the daily changes.
