Moisture Content Vs Time: Rate of Drying

The document measures the rate of drying of sand over time. It records the weight of sand and water at 10 minute intervals as the sand dries at increasing temperatures. As drying time increases from 0 to 80 minutes, the moisture content of the sand decreases from 8% to 0%. A graph shows moisture content decreases nearly linearly with time. A second graph plots the rate of drying against moisture content, showing the rate of drying increases as moisture content decreases.
