Grinding performance and physical properties of wheat
A study of grinding switchgrass at 10–12% wet basis (wb) moisture content in a hammer mill was reported by Jannasch et al. [16]. They reported a specific energy of 55.9 kW h t −1 for both 5.6 and 2.8 mm screen sizes. The reason may be due to the usage of commercial hammer mill (112 kW) and initial chop size of the sample used.
