inherent moisture
Vegetables with high moisture content are called "succulent vegetables." These vegetables have a high water content, which gives them a juicy and tender texture when cooked. Examples include cucumbers, tomatoes, and zucchini.
Organisms like xerophiles can grow on substances with very low moisture content. Xerophiles are a type of extremophile that have adapted to thrive in environments with little moisture, such as deserts or salt flats. They have evolved mechanisms to withstand dehydration and utilize scarce water sources efficiently.
To monitor moisture/humidity in moisture sensitive products such as: grains, wood, concrete, etc. Moisture meters help detect where there could be a moisture problem and mold could grow from that moisture.
Hygronomy is the branch of science that studies the measurement and control of moisture content in materials. It focuses on understanding how water interacts with various substances and the effects of moisture on the properties of those materials.
Fibrous material has only one falling period in its drying curve due to the nature of its structure. Fibers are composed of long slender elements that contain mostly air. As the material is heated this air is expelled from the fibers resulting in a decrease in the water content of the material. This is the first falling period in the drying curve. Once the air within the fibers has been expelled further drying is not possible resulting in a plateau in the drying curve. This plateau indicates that the material has reached its equilibrium moisture content. Since the equilibrium moisture content is independent of the drying temperature further drying will not result in any further decrease in the water content.
Net calorific value (NCV) can be calculated from gross calorific value (GCV) of coal using the formula: NCV = GCV - (0.09 * moisture content) for lignite and sub-bituminous coals, or NCV = GCV - (0.07 * moisture content) for bituminous and anthracite coals. The moisture content is usually provided on the coal analysis sheet.
Coal is not all the same. Different coals have different amounts of carbon, Bituminous, or soft coals have the highest percentage of carbon, up to almost 90%, Anthracite or hard coals have close to 80% carbon content, and lignite, brown coals have about 40% carbon content. Carbon content is what determines how much CO2 is produced by coal's combustion.
Precipitation
Lignite is a type of soft coal that burns at lower temperatures compared to other coals such as bituminous or anthracite. It has a lower carbon content and higher moisture content, making it less dense and easier to ignite.
if we know initial moisture content of the object we can identify how much drying energy required for dry the same moist material. if it is a food material we have to reduce the moisture content upto certain level, otherwise it may be destroyed. if we know the initial moisture content of same food object, we can reduce its moisture content upto 10% of its initial moisture content.
Anthracite coal burns the hottest among the types of coal as it has the highest carbon content and lowest moisture content.
The maximum bulking of sand is in 13% to 14% moisture content. It's likely to be 13.8% moisture content.
Honey refraction is a measure of moisture content. Generally, the best moisture content is 17-18%. Higher that 21% usually is unfit to sell. However, since different types of honey have different specifications, you might be able to accept a moisture content of 23% for clover honey. See related links to read about various refraction and moisture content information.
To convert moisture content from dry basis to wet basis, use the formula: MCwet = (MCdry / (1 - MCdry)) where MCwet is the moisture content on a wet basis and MCdry is the moisture content on a dry basis. For example, if the moisture content on a dry basis is 10%, the moisture content on a wet basis would be 11.1%.
Hygrometers are instruments used to measure air moisture. They can either be mechanical or electronic devices that provide readings of humidity levels in the air. Other instruments like psychrometers and hygrometric tables are also used to measure air moisture.
The moisture content in fruit powder should be zero. Any moisture will cause the powder to cling together, and encourage the growth of mould.
Wind direction is the direction which the wind blows. If the wind direction is coming from an arid region, such as a desert, the air will be dry and moisture content will be low. If the wind direction is coming from an ocean, lake, or tropical area, the air will have a higher moisture content.
