Modeling the physical processes in natural fiber composites during batch and continuous pressing

Creator:

Thomen, Heiko

Abstract:

A three-dimensional model based on fundamental principles to simulate heat and mass transfer and mat densification during hot pressing of wood-based composites is presented. Mechanisms included in the analysis are water vapor and air transfer by gas convection and molecular gas diffusion, conductive and convective heat transfer, and sorptive effects,...
