Nonexistence of critical fuel moisture content for flammability
Fire Safety Journal, 2020Abstract The critical moisture of ignition is still a subject of extensive studies, and an endothermic/exothermic phase transition is expected to occur near the critical region. Ignition tests were realized for live pinus halepensis needles using a cone calorimeter.

Critical moisture content for microbial growth in dried food‐processing residues
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2010AbstractBACKGROUND: Food‐processing residues are good feedstocks for biofuel and biochemical production because they have high energy content and are abundant. Year‐round biofuel and biochemical production requires proper storage to prevent microbial decomposition and thermal runaway.

Determination of critical moisture content in porous materials by IR thermography
Quantitative InfraRed Thermography Journal, 2006This study is focused on the improvement on the porous material characterisation, measuring the transition stage between the saturated and dry phases, which has been defined in literature as the critical moisture content (Θc). This study develops a procedure based on Quantitative IR Thermography (QIRT) determining the effective Θc, as a physical ...

Abstract In this study, the critical moisture content ( CMC. ) and the internal moisture content profiles during the constant rate period were determined experimentally for several conditions of convective drying of plaster. The experimental CMC values obtained allow us to validate the theoretical model of prediction of this parameter presented by KEEY

Moisture has a complex influence on the spontaneous combustion tendency of coal. The exothermicity of four different ranks of coal (lignite, gas coal, fat coal, and anthracite) with different total moisture contents during the oxidation process was tested by TA-DSC (Thermogravimetric Analysis- Differential Scanning Calorimetry).

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 1999
Summary: Wetting or drying of most open porous building materials is characterized by a sharp moving water front. Due to the high moisture gradients at the waterfront, an accurate finite element simulation requires a very fine mesh. To reduce computational costs, we propose here a mesh adaptive method based on the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian ...

Critical Moisture Content of Dehydrated Stockfish
Nature, 1947Investigations conducted in this Laboratory into the dehydration of stockfish (Merluccius capensis) have indicated that the moisture content of the dried product has a great influence on its keeping quality.

The critical soil moisture content in the underground corrosion of mild steel
Corrosion Science, 1979Abstract The corrosivity of soils towards mild steel, in general, has been found to be at maximum at 65% moisture content of their Water Holding Capacity, which may be termed as “Critical Soil Moisture Content”. Corrosion of mild steel in a soil becomes appreciable, only when the soil moisture content ⩾ 50 % of its water holding capacity.

Abstract The critical moisture content for compaction of different soils in borno State was determined using the standard proctor compaction test. Our data indicated that for a given soil, the resultant bulk density is a function of the soil's moisture content and the compactive effort applied.
