Effect of Fluctuant Drying on Drying Stresses in Birch
Liu Wen-shan · Mucai gongye · 2005
The fluctuant and conventional drying technologies for 22 mm-thick Birch (Betula platyphylla) were tested and compared. During the fluctuant drying process, the temperature and moisture content gradients were in the same direction when temperature declined, and the gradients were both smaller than during the conventional drying process. The tendency of checking was also reduced.
