Equation used to convert moisture content from dry basis to wet basis

convert and calculate moisture content from dry basis to wet basis in drying

Moisture content as a fraction in dry basis (Xd, moisture)

Moisture content is expressed as a fraction compared to the total weight of the dry material. Therefore, moisture content as a fraction in wet basis vary from 0 to infinity. Infinity means, there are higher quantity of water compared to the quantity of dry material content.



Moisture content as a percentage value in dry basis (Xd, moisture)

Moisture content as a fraction in dry basis is multiplied by 100 to calculate moisture content as a percentage value in dry basis. It varies from 0% to more than 100%.



Moisture content as a fraction in wet basis (Xw, moisture)

Moisture content is expressed as a fraction compared to the total weight of the dry material (weight of moisture + weight of dry material). Therefore, moisture content as a fraction in wet basis vary from 0 to 1. Moisture content as a fraction reaching 1 means, there are higher quantity of water compared to the quantity of dry material content.



Moisture content as a percentage value in wet basis (Xw, moisture)

Moisture content as a fraction in wet basis is multiplied by 100 to calculate moisture content as a percentage value in dry basis. It varies from 0% to 100%.
