During the constant rate period of drying, water is removed

  • A.from a continuous film at the surface
  • B.from deep inside the body and nowhere else
  • C.without any shrinkage occurring in the body
  • D.faster than at any later stage of the process

Answer: A

Correct answer: from a continuous film at the surface

In the constant rate period the surface is kept wet by water drawn from within faster than it can evaporate, so the piece behaves like a free water surface and the rate depends on the air conditions rather than on the ceramic. The particles are drawn closer together as that water leaves, which is why this is also the shrinkage period and the dangerous one.
