AbstractThis paper contains the results of the electric properties measurement of lentil set. Electric measurements with use of these materials are of fundamental importance in relation to the analysis of quantity of absorbed water and dielectric heating characteristics. The aim of this paper was to perform the measurements of conductivity, dielectric constant and loss tangent on samples of lentil, the electrical properties of which had not been sufficiently measured. Measurements were performed under various moisture contents, and the frequency of electric field ranged from 1 MHz to 16 MHz, using a Q meter with coaxial probe. It was concluded that conductivity, relative permittivity and loss tangent increased with an increase in moisture content, and dielectric constant and loss tangent decreased as the frequency of electric field increased.

Abstract This work contains the results of measuring the electrical properties of sunflower achenes. The interest in electrical properties of biological materials resulted in engineering research in this field. The results of measurements are used for determining the moisture content, the surface level of liquid and grainy materials, for controlling the presence of pests in grain storage, for the quantitative determination of mechanical damage, in the application of dielectric heating, and in many other areas. Electrical measurements of these materials are of fundamental importance in relation to the analysis of quantity of absorbed water and dielectric heating characteristics. It is a well-known fact that electrical properties of materials, namely dielectric constant and conductivity, are affected by the moisture content of material. This fact is important for the design of many commercial moisturetesting instruments for agricultural products. The knowledge of dielectric properties of materials is necessary for the application of dielectric heating. The aim of this work was to measure conductivity, dielectric constant and loss tangent on samples of sunflower achenes, the electrical properties of which had not been sufficiently measured. Measurements were performed under variable moisture content and the frequency of electric field ranging from 1 MHz to 16 MHz, using a Q meter with coaxial probe. It was concluded that conductivity, dielectric constant and loss tangent increased with increasing moisture content, and dielectric constant and loss tangent decreased as the frequency of electric field increased.

Abstract This work contains the results of measuring the electrical properties of popcorn grains. Interest in electrical properties of biological materials resulted in engineering research in this field. The results of measurements are used for determining the moisture content, the surface level of liquid and grainy materials, for controlling the presence of pests in grain storage, for a quantitative determination of mechanical damage, in applications of dielectric heating, and in many other cases. Electrical measurements on these materials are of fundamental importance in relation to the analysis of quantity of absorbed water and dielectric heating characteristics. It is a well-known fact that electrical properties of materials, namely dielectric constant and conductivity, are affected by the moisture content of material. This fact is important for the design of many commercial moisture-testing instruments for agricultural products. The knowledge of dielectric properties of materials is necessary for the application of dielectric heating. The aim of this work was to perform the measurements of conductivity, dielectric constant and loss tangent on samples of popcorn grains, the electrical properties of which had not been sufficiently measured. Measurements were performed under variable moisture content and the frequency of electric field in the range from 1 MHz to 16 MHz, using a Q meter with a coaxial probe. It was concluded that conductivity, dielectric constant and loss tangent increased with increase of moisture content, and dielectric constant and loss factor decreased as the frequency of electric field increased.

BaTiO3 films with a thickness up to 3 μm were fabricated under the hydrothermal conditions. It was found that the crystallinity of BaTiO3 increases with the concentration of Ba(OH)2 solutions. Along with the increasing of time, the crystallinity of BaTiO3 increases, reaches the maximum value and then decreases. The measured values of remanent polarization (Pr) and coercive field (Ec) are 1.74μC/cm2 and 24KV/cm. The leakage of the films at 1V is 10-7A/cm2. The dielectric constant and loss tangent of hydrothermal derived BaTiO3 film at a frequency of 1 KHz were 600 and 0.2, respectively.

This paper contains the results of measuring the electrical properties of mung beans (Vigna radiata L.) set. The conductivity and relative permittivity are the main parameters of dielectric material electrical properties. The electrical properties of mung beans samples had not been sufficiently measured, and the aim of this work was to perform the measurements of these properties. Measurements were performed under variable moisture content and the frequency of electric field from 0.1 kHz till 200 kHz for conductivity and in the range from 1 MHz to 16 MHz for relative permittivity, using RLC meter and Q meter, respectively. It was concluded that relative permittivity, and conductivity increased with increase of moisture content, resistivity, impedance, loss tangent, and relative permittivity decreased as the frequency of electric field increased, respectively.

Abstract The knowledge of electrical properties and their relationship with moisture content is of great importance in operations of post-harvest and storage in grains. The dielectric properties of sorghum samples were studied at different moisture contents and temperatures (25 at 41 °C), at frequencies of 1 and 10 kHz. In order to measure changes in the capacitance and dissipation factor of the samples, the method of impedance bridge was used. Both the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss factor of the samples increased with increasing moisture content and temperature; however, they decreased with increasing frequency. Models were proposed to relate the dielectric properties to either the moisture (exponential and polynomial) or temperature (linear).

This paper presents the method to predict the shielding effectiveness of cement powder mixed with different amount of graphite powder. Cement mixed with different percentage of graphite is prepared. Their dielectric constant and loss tangent are measured based on the transmission/reflection technique using APC7 connector. The measured data is fed into Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for training. When the training process is completed the neural network is used to predict the dielectric constant and loss tangent of cement-graphite mixture that contains different amount of graphite. The comparison shows that the trained neural network is very successful to predict the dielectric constant and loss tangent of cement-graphite mixture. The proposed graphical user interface has made the process of shielding effectiveness prediction becomes more user friendly especially for those designers who are not familiar with the analytical calculation of shielding effectiveness and dielectric measurement.
