An investigation of factors affecting the optimal output log distribution from mechanical harvesting and processing systems

Creator:

Marshall, Hamish Douglas

Abstract:

Globally the forest harvesting industry is becoming increasingly mechanized. Driving this trend is the desire to increase productivity and reduce cost, as well as to improve labor-related issues. With mechanization comes an in-forest platform for the introduction of state-of-the-art communication and measurement technologies, and powerful on-board computers. These systems have...

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...
