Abstract Fuel moisture has a strong
influence on fires in the wildlands, and it is
desirable to have a quick accurate field method of determining it. Microwave drying
of fuel samples provides such a capability. From 3.2 to 4.5 percent of the
moisture is left in the samples as compared to xylene
distillation methods |
