wetbasis
Wet basis refers to a way of expressing moisture content as the ratio of the mass of water in a sample to the total mass of the sample (water plus solids). It is commonly used in fields such as food science, agriculture, soil science, and materials processing. The moisture content on a wet basis is typically given as a fraction or a percentage.
Calculation is straightforward: let Mw be the mass of water in the sample and Ms the mass
Wet basis moisture is related to moisture content on a dry basis (mdb), which is defined as
Applications and interpretation: The wb basis is intuitive for processes where total product mass is important,
