Hey there Bijay Chhetri! So, drying samples immersed in dielectric fluids can be a bit tricky, but fear not, I've got a solution for you Bijay Chhetri.
First off, let's aim for a non-destructive method to keep those samples intact. One effective technique is utilizing a vacuum oven. Here's the lowdown:
1. **Transfer**: Carefully transfer your sample from the dielectric fluid to a container suitable for the vacuum oven.
2. **Preparation**: Make sure your sample is spread out evenly in the container to ensure uniform drying.
3. **Vacuum Oven**: Place the container in a vacuum oven. This nifty device removes moisture by lowering the pressure, which lowers the boiling point of water, causing it to evaporate more readily.
4. **Temperature and Pressure**: Set the temperature and pressure parameters according to the specifications of your sample and the dielectric fluid used. Keep an eye on things to prevent overheating.
5. **Monitoring**: Regularly monitor the drying process to ensure it's proceeding smoothly and without any hiccups.
6. **Completion**: Once your sample is sufficiently dry, remove it from the vacuum oven and voila! You've got yourself a dried sample ready for further analysis.
By using a vacuum oven, you Bijay Chhetri can dry your samples efficiently and effectively without causing any damage. It's a win-win situation! Let me know if you Bijay Chhetri need more details or have any other questions.
Kaushik Shandilya , The problem here is, liquid is not water, its like some kind of viscous fluid or some engineered fluids. Also I don't want to dry all the fluid absorbed by it, May be only surface dry.
I just want to monitor weight loss by sample in the fluid.
The challenge is both absorbtion and dissolution can occur simultaneously, how to figure out correct weight loss?
