Question

Wet lumber of the type in Figure is slowly dried from an initial total moisture content of 50 wt% to a moisture content in equilibrium with atmospheric air at 25oC and 40% relative humidity. Determine: (a) unbound moisture in the wet lumber before drying in lb water/lb bone-dry lumber; (b) bound moisture in the wet lumber before drying in lb water/lb bone-dry lumber; (c) free moisture in the wet lumber before drying, referred to as the final dried lumber, in lb water/lb bone-dry lumber; (d) lb of moisture evaporated per lb of bone-dry wood.
