The Theory of Drying and Its Application to the New Humidity-Regulated and Recirculating Dry Kilns (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Theory of Drying and Its Application to the New Humidity-Regulated and Recirculating Dry Kilns
A correct understanding of the principles of drying is rare, and opinions in regard to the subject are very diverse. The same lack of knowledge exists in regard to dry kilns. The physical properties of the wood which complicate the drying operation and render it distinct from that of merely evaporating free water from some sub stance like a piece of cloth must be studied experimentally. It can not well be worked out theoretically.
The thermal process of the drying operation, however, is capable of exact theoretical analysis. It is the purpose of this article to interpret the conditions which exist in the various stages of the dry ing Operation with respect to the heat quantities and the changes which occur in the drying medium, from a theoretical standpoint. The object of this analysis 1s to show the limiting conditions which may be approached, but can not be exceeded.

Excerpt from The Theory of Drying and Its Application to the New Humidity-Regulated and Recirculating Dry Kilns
The qualification in regard to air is necessary, for the sake of exactness, for the following reason: In any given space the total actual pressure is made up of the combined pressures of all the gases present. If the total pressure ("vacuum") is 2 inches, and there is no air present, it is all produced by the water vapor (which saturates the space at 101° F.); but if some air is present and the total pressure is still maintained at 2 inches, then there must be less vapor present, since the air is producing part of the pressure and the space is no longer saturated at the given temperature. Consequently further evaporation may occur, with a corresponding lowering of the temperature of the water, until a balance is again reached. Without further explanation it is easy to see that but little water can be evaporated by a vacuum alone without addition of heat and that the prevalent idea that a vacuum can of itself produce evaporation is a fallacy. If heat be supplied to the water, however, either by conduction or radiation, evaporation will take place in direct proportion to the amount of heat supplied, so long as the pressure is kept down by the pump.
At 30 inches of mercury pressure (one atmosphere) the space becomes saturated with vapor and equilibrium is established at 212° F.If heat be now supplied to the water, however, evaporation will take place in proportion to the amount of heat supplied, so long as the pressure remains that of one atmosphere, just as in the case of the vacuum. Evaporation in this condition, where the vapor pressure at the temperature of the water is equal to the gas pressure on the water, is what is commonly called "boiling," and the saturated vapor entirely displaces the air under continuous operation. Whenever the space is not saturated with vapor, whether air is present or not, evaporation will take place, by boiling if no air be present or by diffusion under the presence of air, until an equlibrium between temperature and vapor pressure is resumed.
Relative humidity is simply the ratio of the actual vapor pressure present in a given space to the vapor pressure when the space is saturated with vapor at the given temperature. It matters not whether air be present or not. One hundred percent humidity means that the space contains all the vapor which it can hold at the given temperature - it is saturated. Thus at 100 per cent humidity and 212° F. the space is saturated, and since the pressure of saturated vapor at this temperature is one atmosphere, no air can be present under these conditions. If, however, the total pressure at this temperature were 20 pounds (5 pounds gauge), then it would mean that there was 5 pounds air pressure present in addition to the vapor, yet the space would still be saturated at the given temperature.

Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 4 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the intricacies of regulating humidity within a closed kiln by using air and steam, a method developed by the author. The book begins by describing the relevant science and engineering fundamentals and then delves into detailed theory and practical applications. The author shares insights on optimizing kiln conditions for drying wood, including temperature and air circulation, and describes how these factors can influence the wood's quality and prevent defects such as checking and warping. With its comprehensive explanations and practical guidance, this book is invaluable for professionals working in the wood industry and those interested in the science and technology of kiln drying. It offers a systematic approach to understanding and controlling the drying process, leading to improved outcomes and increased efficiency in wood production. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781332284573_0
