Unbound moisture content:
It is the moisture held by a material in excess of the equilibrium moisture content corresponding to saturation humidity.

Free Moisture content:-
It is the moisture held by a material in excess of the equilibrium moisture content.

So, the correct option is B.

Option B is correct Answer.

Free moisture is an excess of equilibrium moisture that can inherently be removed from the solid.

Unbound moisture +bound moisture both are called free moisture.

Answer B is current.

Equilibrium moisture means moisture in solid is equilibrium with drying air.

Jhunjhun Kumar said:   7 years ago
A is the correct answer.

Vali said:   1 decade ago
Answer is A: Unbound moisture.

Unbound Moisture: It is the water held by a material in excess of the equilibrium moisture content corresponding to saturation in the surrounding atmosphere.

Free Moisture Content: It is the moisture content of a material that can be removed by drying under the given temperature and humidity. It may include both bound and Unbound moisture.
