A Numerical Assessment of the Air Flow Behaviour in a Conventional Compact Dry Kiln

Convective drying is the most common drying strategy used in timber manufacturing industries in the developing world. In convective drying, the reduction rate of the moisture content is directly affected by the flow topology in the inlet and exit plenums and the air flow velocity in the channels for...
