Free Moisture Content based on Bound and Unbound Moisture Content Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Free Moisture Content = Unbound Moisture Content+Bound Moisture Content-Equilibrium Moisture Content
X_Free = X_Ub+X_b-X_Eq
This formula uses 4 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.
Unbound Moisture Content - The Unbound Moisture Content is defined as the ratio of the weight of moisture exerting vapour pressure equal to than of pure water at the same temperature to the weight of dry solid.
Bound Moisture Content - The Bound Moisture Content is defined as the ratio of the weight of moisture exerting vapour pressure less than that of pure water at the same temperature to the weight of dry solid.
Equilibrium Moisture Content - The Equilibrium Moisture Content is defined as the ratio of the weight of moisture in equilibrium with the solid to the weight of dry solid.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Unbound Moisture Content: 0.28 --> No Conversion Required
Bound Moisture Content: 0.06 --> No Conversion Required
Equilibrium Moisture Content: 0.05 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

X_Free = X_Ub+X_b-X_Eq --> 0.28+0.06-0.05

Evaluating ... ...

X_Free = 0.29

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.29 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.29 <-- Free Moisture Content

What is Drying Mass Transfer operation?

Drying is a mass transfer operation that involves the removal of moisture or other volatile solvents from a solid material. The process of drying is used in a variety of industries, including food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and textiles. In drying, heat is applied to the material to increase its temperature, which causes the moisture or solvent to evaporate. The evaporated moisture is then removed from the material using a drying medium, such as air, which carries away the moisture as it flows over the surface of the material. There are several types of drying techniques, including convection drying, which uses hot air to remove moisture; radiation drying, which uses infrared radiation to heat the material and remove moisture; and vacuum drying, which removes moisture by creating a low-pressure environment.

How to Calculate Free Moisture Content based on Bound and Unbound Moisture Content?

Free Moisture Content based on Bound and Unbound Moisture Content calculator uses Free Moisture Content = Unbound Moisture Content+Bound Moisture Content-Equilibrium Moisture Content to calculate the Free Moisture Content, The Free Moisture Content based on Bound and Unbound Moisture Content formula is defined as Free Moisture i,e, the moisture in the solid that can be easily removed as a difference between initial moisture content and equilibrium moisture content where initial moisture content is represented as a sum of bound and unbound Moisture Content. Free Moisture Content is denoted by X_Free symbol.
