OPTIMIZED WOOD DRYING

open access: yesDrying Technology, 2000
Nonlinear programming methods are used to create effective drying schedules for boards. A two-dimensional, orthotropic drying model is connected to an optimization routine that solves convex sub-pr...

Simulation of drying stresses in wood

open access: yesHolz als Roh- und Werkstoff, 1999
This article describes a study where laboratory and theoretical work on the fundamental hygro-mechanical behaviour of wood is applied on convective drying of sawn timber. A material model describing the behaviour of wood during drying is used to simulate

Eucalyptus wood drying

Journal de Physique IV (Proceedings), 2005
The objective of this research is to study the effect of a convectif traditional drying on eucalyptus wood of the reafforestations of Sidi Yahia (West of Morocco). The obtained results show that the measurement of the bow of facing indicates that a drying under load, preceded by a reconditioning and followed by balancing, makes it possible to recover ...

Drying of Wood

1992
Wood is continually exchanging moisture and this phenomenon is observed not only for living trees but also for pieces of wood in use, whatever the surrounding atmosphere. This surrounding atmosphere can be air or water, and in all these cases, the problem of drying the pieces of wood is of interest.

Wood-Drying Kinetics

2000
In order to predict the rate at which moisture leaves a rough-sawn board, the drying kinetics of the lumber need to be considered. The drying of wood involves the movement of water molecules, either as vapour or liquid (fluids), through a complex biological structure, with changes in phase such as thawing and evaporation.

DRYING AND USING PROPERTIES OF CHESTNUT WOOD

Acta Horticulturae, 2009
Drying is a process, which removes the water from the wood aiming maximum wood quality and minimum drying time and costs. Even though there are a number of commercial drying methods, technical drying methods are mostly used in the wood products industry.

Vacuum Drying of Oak Wood

Drying Technology, 1995
ABSTRACT Vacuum drying, j,e drying under absolute gas pressure of about 10⊃ Pa. is an efficient means of reducing the process period and of producing good quality wood. We will examine here continuous vacuum drying where the plank surfaces are kept at a constant temperature, which remains above the boiling point, and moisture flowing to the surface is ...
