The previously proposed simulation model for the heat-conditioning of frozen and nonfrozen
logs was tested with experimental data from heating 20 pine (Pinus canariensis and Pinus …

A theoretical solution is presented for the heating of logs, frozen or not, having any
length/diameter ratio and which may be exposed to significant heating from the log ends, in …

An example step-by-step computation is presented of transient temperature as a function of
heating time, for a frozen pine [Pinus sp.] log heated in agitated water or steam. Log length …

A finite element method for calculating the transient heating of frozen log and lumber subject
to different initial and boundary conditions is described. The governing equation used in the …

Transient temperature profiles of frozen logs subjected to axisymmetric thawing and heating
were calculated by a temperature method and an enthalpy method. The present paper …

This paper discusses an enthalpy method to compute transient temperatures of logs. The
logs may be initially frozen. It is assumed that the logs are subjected to radial heating in …

LOGHEAT is a computer program for the IBM-PC that calculates log heating times for frozen
and non frozen logs and log energy consumption. This infor mation is needed in mills that …

ABSTRACT A summarized 2-dimensional mathematical model has been created, solved,
and verified for the transient non-linear heat conduction and energy consumption in frozen …

Abstract Green 16-inch-long bolts, with thermally insulated end faces to simulate the
behaviour of'long'logs in which radial heating predominates, were heated in agitated water …

This paper describes an approach for computing the specific heat capacities of logs stored
for long in an open warehouse. It includes the heat capacities of the wood of non-frozen and …
