  • 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...

  • Dynamic modeling of thermal treatment of timber poles

    Creator:
    Sahle-Demessie, Endalkachew
    Abstract:
    The temperature-time-location relationships during steam conditioning and pressure treatment of timber poles have been studied and mathematical models that take into account both the thermal properties of the poles and the parameters of the treatment process have been developed. Although much work has been previously done in this area, the...

  • Modeling biomass transport on single lane forest roads and monitoring GPS accuracy for vehicle tracking under different forest canopy conditions

    Creator:
    Simwanda, Matamyo
    Abstract:
    The transportation of wood and biomass resources from landing and other collection locations to processing and distribution sites is a substantial cost within the wood supply chain. These high costs provide a basis for research aimed at improving biomass transportation planning decisions and potentially reducing biomass transportation costs. Chip vans...
