Hot-pressing process modeling for medium density fiberboard (MDF) [PDF]
, 2001 In this paper we present a numerical solution for the mathematical modeling of the hot-pressing process applied to medium density fiberboard. The model is based in the work of Humphrey[82], Humphrey and Bolton[89] and Carvalho and Costa[98], with some ...

Determining of moisture diffusivity and activation energy in drying of apricots
Research in Agricultural Engineering, 2009 In this study, Fick's second law was used as a major equation to calculate the moisture diffusivity for apricot fruit with some simplification. Drying experiments were carried out at the air temperatures of 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80°C and the drying air ...

Evolution of microstructure and transport properties of cement pastes due to carbonation under a CO2 pressure gradient: a modeling approach [PDF]
, 2015 Most carbonation models only account for diffusion as the main transport mechanism rather than advection. Nevertheless, in the case of concrete used for underground waste disposal facilities, concrete may be subjected to a high hydrostatic pressure and ...

Validation of data analysis routines for a thermal probe apparatus using numerical data sets [PDF]
, 2008 Most thermal properties of construction materials used in the analysis of building performance have been measured under laboratory conditions, using a guarded hot box or hot plate apparatus. As a consequence, these properties seldom reflect the impact of
