Hot-pressing process modeling for medium density fiberboard (MDF) [PDF]
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 ...

Moisture diffusion within shredded tobacco leaves.
The mechanism of moisture transfer into shredded tobacco was investigated in connection with moistening process control in cigarette manufacturing. For shredded tobaccos of less than about 1.0 mm shred width, the moisture was sorbed mainly through the cut faces rather than through the leaf epidermis, indicating that the moisture diffusion within the ...
