The Role of Drying Schedule and Conditioning in Moisture Uniformity in Wood: A Machine Learning Approach [PDF]
Polymers, 2023 Monitoring the moisture content (MC) of wood and avoiding large MC variation is a crucial task as a large moisture spread after drying significantly devalues the product, especially in species with high green MC spread. Therefore, this research aims to optimize kiln-drying and provides a predictive approach to estimate and classify target timber ...

Drying behavior of dense refractory castables. Part 2 – Drying agents and design of heating schedules [PDF]
Ceramics International, 2022 Drying is the most critical process of the first heating cycle of monolithic dense refractories, as the reduced permeability of the resulting microstructure may lead to explosive spalling and mechanical damage associated with dewatering. The first part of this review series pointed out the various drying stages, the role of the binder components and ...
