The formula to calculate the Moisture Ratio (MR) is:
\[ MR = \frac{M_t - M_e}{M_0 - M_e} \]
Where:
The moisture ratio is a dimensionless quantity that represents the relative amount of moisture in a material compared to its initial and equilibrium moisture contents. It is commonly used in drying and moisture analysis to understand how much moisture remains in a material over time. The moisture ratio helps in evaluating the drying process and the efficiency of moisture removal from materials such as food, wood, and other hygroscopic substances.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ MR = \frac{0.3 - 0.1}{0.5 - 0.1} = \frac{0.2}{0.4} = 0.5 \]
The Moisture Ratio (MR) is 0.5.
