Aspects Concerning the Heating/Drying of Oak Planks in a Radiofrequency Field

Heat transfer and the evaporation of moisture from wood may be achieved with the help of high-frequency currents, depending on the dielectric properties of wood. Since wood is generally a heterogeneous material, these properties may vary depending on frequency, humidity, temperature and density. Thi...

Description
Summary:Heat transfer and the evaporation of moisture from wood may be achieved with the help of high-frequency currents, depending on the dielectric properties of wood. Since wood is generally a heterogeneous material, these properties may vary depending on frequency, humidity, temperature and density. This paper presents aspects related to the numerical modeling of the process of heating or drying oak planks arranged in a13.56 MHz radiofrequency applicator, correlated with experiments.
