Effects of Microwave and Infrared + Microwave Drying of Wood Materials on Energy Consumption, Water Absorption, and Mechanical Properties

The objective of this study was to shorten the drying time of wood material using microwave and infrared + microwave drying methods, compare the energy assumption, analyze their improvement in water absorption, and compare the compression strength perpendicular and parallel to fibers. Red pine (Pinu...
