Physical properties in wood during press-vacuum drying: colour changes and other phenomena

open access: yes, 2004
During drying process many changes occur in wood, both physical and mechanical ones. The main topic then discussed are about colour changes, shrinkage and swelling and wetability of the wood surfaces according to different thermo-hygrometrical treatment ...

A Mass Transport Model for Drying Wood under Isothermal Conditions

open access: yes, 2007
Mass transport in wood during drying can have different mechanisms at different periods of drying. Depending on the current moisture content (MC) and the structure of the wood, the driving forces for the mass transport are essentially different.

Effects of superheated steam on the drying of rubberwood [PDF]

open access: yesSongklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2006
Rubberwood drying is the most time and energy consuming step in the processing of wood product. This research studied the effect of superheated steam drying on the drying time required and the physical and mechanical properties of rubberwood after drying.

Textile Drying Via Wood Gasification

open access: yes, 1983
This project was carried out to investigate the possibility of using wood gas as a direct replacement for natural gas in textile drying. The Georgia Tech updraft gasifier was used for the experimental program.

Collapse of Eucalyptus nitens wood after drying depending on the radial location within the stem

open access: yes, 2014
Collapse is almost certain to occur in the industrial drying of Eucalyptus nitens and, as such this prevents the lumber manufacturing industry in Chile from producing commercial solid wood products from this species.
