Abstract
This paper describes techniques that have been developed for accurately measuring the surface temperature of drying lumber using a radiation thermometer, and interior temperatures at various depths using 30 gauge thermocouples. Methods for calculating heat transfer coefficients during the drying of lumber are also described. Experimental results, showing surface and interior temperatures, and moisture content, as functions of drying time are presented.Keywords
