Melamine, Moisture Ratio, ambient temperatureAbstract
Melamine wood is a coating that makes wood shiny. In this model, the Moisture Ratio formula is obtained from the melamine process. The formula is MR=a+bt, where a and b are empirical constants in drying models and values a and b depending on the ambient temperature.References
