In this paper the influence of the moisture content on the flow characteristics of blast furnace dust is investigated. The flowability of granular material is essential for the design and operation of dust separators, transport equipment and storage silos. Two blast furnace dust samples from different blast furnaces were investigated. The moisture content was adapted for measurement with the sh...

Density-independent high moisture content measurement is required in actual production line. In this paper, the experimental results for high moisture content measurement using microwave free-space technique are presented. The method is based on a ratio of phase shifts at two microwave frequencies after propagating through a sample. The experiments were performed with three kinds of sawdust nam...

This study carried out on the provided textures at laboratory. The provided textures were infusedinside the PVC cylinder with 30cm height and 25cm diameter. The studied textures were loamysand, sandy loam, sandy clay-loam, clay loam and clay. After 24 hours of saturation, the soil watercontent of the samples was measured by oven-dry gravimetric and TDR methods. For each texturesat any stage of ...

It has been reported that breakdown voltage is affected by several factors, such as moisture, particles, acidity, and pressure [3,4,5,6]. The objective of this study is to investigate the dependency of the breakdown voltage on moisture using a representative set of oil samples and to point out the advantages of online moisture measurement. The Effect of Moisture on the Breakdown Voltage of Tran...

Time domain reflectometry (TDR) is a prospective measurement technology for moisture content of sewage sludge composting material; however, a significant dependence upon temperature has been observed. The objective of this study was to assess the impacts of temperature upon moisture content measurement and determine if TDR could be used to monitor moisture content in sewage sludge compost acros...

The spatial pattern of soil moisture varies at different scales due to evapo-transpiration and precipitation which are transformed by topography, soil texture, and vegetation. The mapping of soil moisture by remote sensing has several advantages over conventional field measurement techniques especially in the case of heterogeneous landscapes. However, validation of low resolution satellite soil...

The response of a three-wavelength interdigital dielectrometry sensor to the moisture diffusion process in oil-impregnated transformer pressboard has been simulated using an empirical relationship between the moisture concentration and the dielectric properties of the pressboard. A benchmark test of the moisture diffusion process has been developed with the purpose of comparing alternative para...

This paper studied the impact of moisture on the correlated characteristics of the condenser bushings oil-paper insulation system. The oil-impregnated paper samples underwent accelerated thermal aging at 130 ̋C after preparation at different initial moisture contents (1%, 3%, 5% and 7%). All the samples were extracted periodically for the measurement of the moisture content, the degree of polym...
