Abstract
From the results of experimental work on the characteristics of a fine particle bed composed of an equal mixture of Kibushi clay and feldspar, an analysis is made to determine the phenomena of the liquid moisture movement in such a fine particle bed. Based on a few assumptions of the liquid moisture movement in the bed, the fundamental equation is derived to describe the phenomena.
Comparing the results of the drying experiment with the solutions of the above equation, it is shown that the mechanism of the liquid moisture movement in the bed during the drying process can be explained by the present equation.
