Answer:
Moisture content in wet basis = 47.4 %
Explanation:
Moisture content expresses the amount of water present in a moist sample. Dry basis and wet basis are widely used to express moisture content.
The next equation express the moisture content in wet basis:
[tex]MC_{wb}=\frac{MC_{db}}{1+MC_{db}} [/tex]
where, [tex]MC_{wb}[/tex]: moisture content in wet basis and
[tex]MC_{db}[/tex]: moisture content in dry basis
We now calculate the moisture content in wet basis:
[tex]MC_{wb}=\frac{MC_{db}}{1+MC_{db}} [/tex]
[tex]MC_{wb}=\frac{0.90}{1+0.90} [/tex]
[tex]MC_{wb}[/tex]= 0.474 = 47.4 % wet basis
Have a nice day!
