Scaling criteria for small laboratory tests have been shown to correlate satisfactorily experinlental results (Egeiban er at, 1982). Application of the sealing
Criteria (Gray er at. 1984) has shown that vaiiations in ambient temperature.
packing density, stockpile shape and stockpile size were adequately accommodated. This included experimental data for a much larger bagasse mass
(equicylinder, 1.0 in haltldiinensioii) with a critical ambient temperature of
112 °C. An efleetive activation energy of 125 :t: 6 lel:nol*1 was determined for dry
bagasse.
