Packing density distribution of cut-strip tobacco in curing modules
Department of Entomological and Agricultural Engineering, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina USA
Compression characteristics of uncured cut-strip tobacco were used to develop a simulation model for predicting pressure and density distributions in a curing container and for determining the proper amount of overfill prior to pressing. Tobacco used...
