Free Moisture Content based on Weight of Free Moisture Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Free Moisture Content = Free Weight of Moisture/Dry Weight of Solid
X_Free = M_Free/W_S
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Free Moisture Content - The Free Moisture Content is the ratio of amount of free moisture present in the solids to that of the weight of dry solid.
Free Weight of Moisture - (Measured in Kilogram) - The Free Weight of Moisture is the amount of moisture higher than the equilibrium moisture content of the solids that can be removed from the solid by drying at the given conditions.
Dry Weight of Solid - (Measured in Kilogram) - The Dry Weight of Solid is the weight of dry solid present in the system in the drying mass transfer operation.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Free Weight of Moisture: 34.4 Kilogram --> 34.4 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Dry Weight of Solid: 100 Kilogram --> 100 Kilogram No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

X_Free = M_Free/W_S --> 34.4/100

Evaluating ... ...

X_Free = 0.344

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.344 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.344 <-- Free Moisture Content

(Calculation completed in 00.006 seconds)
