WITHIN-TREE VARIABILITY IN THE DRYING PROPERTIES FOR BLACKBUTT TIMBER IN NEW SOUTH WALES

The within-tree variability of drying properties, including the green and final moisture contents, the basic density, and the diffusion coefficient, has been investigated for regrowth blackbutt timber (Eucalyptus pilularis Sm).Timber boards from two regrowth trees were taken from Northern New South...

G diffusion drying schedules density moisture content The within-tree variability of drying properties, including the green and final moisture contents, the basic density, and the diffusion coefficient, has been investigated for regrowth blackbutt timber (Eucalyptus pilularis Sm).Timber boards from two regrowth trees were taken from Northern New South Wales in Australia, and dried in a lab scale kiln.

Principal components analysis suggested that the timber boards with low basic densities and high initial moisture contents had higher diffusion coefficients.

In addition, this suggested correlation was also evident in the analysis of variance (ANOVA).

A revised version of the drying schedule used for the experiments in this paper, i.e. adding 5ºC to the dry and wet-bulb temperatures, has been predicted to be a better drying schedule out of the four drying schedules studied, due to it drying the timber quicker as well as having a small dispersion of final moisture contentsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessUniversidad del Bío-BíoMaderas.
