Abstract:: Large inelastic strain occurs inside a piece of lumber during drying. The strain consists of several components such as elastic, plastic, creep, shrinkage and mechano-sorptive effect. The mechanical behavior of the whole board during drying is determined by the behavior of individual strain components and their interactions. Whereas limited investigations...

Creator:: Kim, Dong-Wook
Abstract:: Both transportation costs and market values of woody biomass are strongly linked to the amount of moisture in the woody biomass. Therefore, managing moisture in the woody biomass well can lead to significant advantages in the woody biomass energy business. In this study, two prediction models were developed to estimate...

Creator:: Wu, Jing
Abstract:: Volatile organic emissions (VOCs) from the kiln drying of lumber are of concern to government, research agencies, and the forest products industry. In the Pacific Northwest, neither the quantity of VOC emissions from kilns drying Douglas-fir is available, nor the effects of drying schedule and lumber-related characteristics on the emissions....

Creator:: Yang, Hai
Abstract:: The fixed bed drying of western hemlock and Douglas-fir biomass particles at temperatures ranging from 50°C to 200°C and air velocities from 0.3 to 0.9 m/s was investigated. The objectives were to describe the drying characteristics of the particles, fit a model for thin-layer drying, and develop and test a...
