Conjugated Heat and Mass Transfer in Convective Drying in Compact Wood Kilns: A System Approach

Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2013
Drying is a required operation in timber manufacturing industries. Most drying processes utilise convective kilns, which involve coupling between transient heat and mass (moisture content) transfer in solids and convection in a flowing medium.
