Still the Most Complete, Up-To-Date, and Reliable Reference in the FieldDrying is a highly
energy-intensive operation and is encountered in nearly all industrial sectors. With rising …

In this paper, we review the literature published on vacuum drying of wood. Vacuum drying
is not a new technology, and its use for drying wood has been suggested since the early …

At present, no single book adequately covers a basic understanding of wood book satisfies
the need for such a work. It describes drying in practice. This the fundamental basis of kiln …

Wood is produced in the hard stems and branches of trees and shrubs. In these plants, the
primary growth is responsible for the stem and branch elongation, whereas the secondary …

A two-dimensional mathematical model was developed to simulate coupled heat and mass
transfer in apple under vacuum drying. Luikov's equations are the governing equations in …

The present review is designed to encompass the English language heat transfer papers
published in 1997. The papers have been categorized into a number of sub-fields. While …

Drying is one of the most common processes used in food preservation. In this study, the
effect of persimmon and kiwi samples dried in different environments on some …

We present the simulation of the drying of porous solids with abruptly changing permeability
using the Darcy-Forchheimer equations. This model arises in fluid mechanics through …

Red oak boards of 76.2 cm (long)× 7.62 cm (wide)× 2.54 cm (thick) were dried from green
moisture content (MC) to 7% MC in the hot water vacuum-drying system. These boards were …

Results of the dynamic distribution of moisture content, temperature, and internal
overpressure at low radio-frequency (LRF), up to 100 kHz, and vacuum contact drying are …
