Abstract

Modeling and Energy Consumption of Unilateral Heating Process of Flat Wood Details

Highlights

  • IntroductionDuring the bending of details with large radii of curvature at R/h > 20, the wood need not have a large degree of plasticity

  • Based on the integration of the model’s solutions, a numerical approach has been suggested for the computation of the specific energy consumption and the specific heat flux needed for the heating of the details and for the covering of their heat emission in the surrounding environment during unilateral heating aimed at wood plasticizing and bending

  • The aim of the present paper is to suggest a methodology for mathematical modeling and research of two mutually connected problems: the temperature distribution in flat wood details subjected to unilateral heating and the energy consumption of this process

Summary

Introduction

During the bending of details with large radii of curvature at R/h > 20, the wood need not have a large degree of plasticity. In this case, from technological and economical standpoints, it is most advantageous to plasticize the wood using unilateral heating at relatively low wood moisture content in the range from 12 % to 20 % (Rowell and Konkol, 1987; Rice and Lucas, 2003). Plasticizing with such, relatively low, wood moisture content ensures considerable decreasing of the duration of the drying of the bent details aimed at providing lasting stabilization of their form
