Abstract :To know the amount of void space of kernel crops is on important parameter to desing of drying and aeration equipment. The porostiy depends on the resistance encountered in moving air through grain and also heat conduction coefficient of grain. In this study, the amount of void space of several second crops was determinated and the relationships between the different moisture content and the amount of void space calculat- ed and were showed on the regsession graphics for three different crops. As aresults the correlation coefficients between them for soybean, corn, and lentil were obtained as r=0.95, г=0.99, г=0.97 respectively.
