%X With the purpose of establishing the mechanism resposible for the drying of granular materials in a packed bed passed by a gaseous thermic agent, experimental kinetic study was perormed. In a pilot plant, the axial and radial distributions of the solid local humidity were determined in the nonsteady regime. The results show it is possible for three zones, each at a different state of dryness, to exist in the bed: one zone with initial humidity, one zone with variable humidity and one zone with dried material.
