A grain bed of porosity \( 0.40 \) occupies \( 2.5 \) m\(^3\). The volume of air within it is

  • A.2.50 m\(^3\)
  • B.1.00 m\(^3\)
  • C.1.50 m\(^3\)
  • D.0.40 m\(^3\)

Answer: B

Porosity is the void fraction, so the air volume is \( 0.40 \times 2.5 = 1.0 \) m\(^3\). That air is both the path along which drying air travels and the reason a grain bed conducts heat so poorly that hot spots persist.
