Abstract
In this paper an experimental and semi-analytical technique is described that provides a method of estimating a macroscopic drying kinetics curve and internal moisture content profiles is described. Moisture gradients and the time evolution of these gradients are analysed as a function of the air drying parameters (dry-bulb, wet-bulb temperature and the velocity) and the product parameters (thickness and density). The material used as an illustration is a maritime-pine-wood.Keywords
