OPTIMIZING AIRFLOW REVERSALS FOR KILN DRYING OF SOFTWOOD TIMBER BY APPLYING MATHEMATICAL MODELS

After experimental validation of a kiln-wide drying model, a single board drying model and a stress model for kiln drying of softwood timber, these models are integrated and used to investigate benefits of airflow reversals in smoothing moisture content distribution and in reducing drying stresses f...
