  • The impact of wood variability on the drying rate at different moisture content levels

    Creator:
    Berberović, Adin
    Abstract:
    Variability in wood properties causes boards within a stack of lumber to dry at different rates and reach different moisture content levels after drying is completed. The consequence is that the boards will have properties that differ from ones that were intended to be achieved by the drying process. The...

  • Numerical simulation of wood drying

    Creator:
    Berberovic, Adin
    Abstract:
    A mathematical and then a numerical model were developed for simulating a convective batch lumber drying process. The model incorporates mass and heat transfer relationships within the lumber stack, as well as thermodynamic properties of the wood and drying air. It takes into account a change of air properties along...
