The determination of the moisture diffusivity in capillary range is studied for rammed earth building materials, using X-ray method. To prevent liquefaction and expansion these materials during absorption test, a brick wick paper are added as lower sample parts confining sealing utilised. Since bring about composite case, compatibility with Boltzmann transformation must be redeveloped. It found...

This paper addresses the use of capacitive measurement principles for process instrumentation. A brief review on capacitance-based sensors to measure industrial process parameters is provided. A capacitance-to-digital conversion system developed at the Sensors Group at our Institute is presented. Applications of capacitancebased process instrumentation for moisture sensing, flow velocity determ...

This piece of work was directed towards the study of the proximate chemical composition to compare the effect of the different salt concentrations on the nutritive value of fish. In both fresh fish and fassiek (salted fish). Proximate analysis targeted the determination of moisture%, protein%, ash%, fat and pH.

Moisture is an important variable that must be kept under control to guarantee a safe operation of power transformers. Because of the hydrophilic character of cellulose, water mainly remains in the solid insulation, while just a few parts per million are dissolved in oil. The distribution of moisture between paper and oil is not static, but varies depending on the insulation temperature, and th...
