The lat- ter may b0 disregarded. in the consideration of water present in wood after it has been cat from the tree, becau.se there are only a few living cells in the outer sapwood. The rest have lost their protoplasmic contents. In any study of the drying of wood these forms in which water is present are naturally In very wet wood, water exists as of free prime importance. water in the cell cavities and also as bound water in the cell walls. s some of the water leaves the cell caxities in drying, water vapor will replace it until all the free water is gone. This point at which water no longer exists as free water in the cell cavities is :nown as tne tion point. fibre satura- Prom that point until all moisture has left the wood structure, water exists as ooana water and vapor. The removal of water liOLl tae suriace layers ci wooa is a comparatively simDlo process of evaporation, but to keep this process in operation, the water mast Le made to transfuse from the interior to replace that which is evaporatea. In tnis process of transfuazon, tne proper-1- ties of the absorbed iiuid lecome imortaut. The most important of tnese properties and those with which this paper will be most concerned are ca;Dillarity, viscosity, and vapor pressure. iaiYIN Polloving the outline of the principles of drying in "Elements of Chemical EngineeringT' by Badger and LicCabe, two steps occur in the transfer of moisture from the interior of a solid to tne drying medium. These steps are: (1) diffusion through the solid and (2) evaporation or passage into the drying medium. These steps allow the authors to classify drying processes into three general types as follows: "Evaporation takes place at the interface (junction of the solid and the drying medium) and the main resistance is to this evaroration. internal transfusion is small in Resistance to comparison with the evaporation resistance." 'TEvaporation at the interface with diffusion resistance greater than that of evaporation." "Evaporation tahing place before reaching the interface. partly as vapor. Vater diffuses partly as a liqaid and Resistance to transfusion as a liquid controls this type of drying." -2-. In this classification the drying of wood falls in types (2) and ('), though perhaps only in the latter at temperatures over 212 d.egree Fahrenheit and at moisture contents below the fibre saturation point. The fact that internal diffasibu of water in wood controls the drying rate rather than evaporation resistance more definitely places the drying of wood in type (2). This characteristic of the drying of wood brings attention to the properties of the absorbed water which mast be responsible for this internal transfusion. Cap- illarity might be termed a positive factor in this process, since this property is responsible for the movement of liquids in tubes. Viscosity, on the other hand, would be a negative factor as this property tends to resist motion or a change of shape. The vapor pressure of a liquid should aid to some extent in the transfusion of a liquid and, therefore, can be classed as a positive factor. Thus, under any one set of conditions these three factors are in operation, two of them tending to cause movement of moisture against the action of the third. As all of these properties or forces vary in different amounts with temperature, it is reasonable to believe that at one point, either a certain temperature or combination of temperature and humidity, a maximum resultant in the form of moisture movement in wood would be obtained. CA2ILLRITi The rise of liquids in capillary tubes is a henotion of surface tension. Basically, it depends on the re- lative values of cohesion of the molecules of the liquid for each other and of their adxiesion for the molecules of It is this relation the solid of the walls of the tube, which determines the shape of the meniscus of the surface of the liquid in the tube and. consequently the presIf the liquid wets sure and the direction of the flow. the walls of the tube, the meniscus will be concave and the flow will be in the apward direction. The converse is true, if the water molecules cohere to each other with a greater force than that with wnich they adhere to the walls of the tube. The former case is true of the capillary movement of water in the cells of wood. struc- ture, and the movement is upward into the cell cavities. Capillary pressure varies inversely with the curva- ture of the meniscus of the surface of the liquid. The radius of curvature of rnenisci of the same liquid in tubes of different diameters will vary directly with the diameter of the tube due to the decrease in the ratio between the circumference and the area of the surface of liquid with the increase in diameter. in the cells of wood structure, L. -4- Considering water . Hawley of the For- est Products Laboratory estimates that this capillary pressure will amount to about one-half an atmosphere at ordinary atmospheric conditions. Also, he suggests that in the small aiertares of the pits in the cell walls this pressure may rise as high as fifty atmospheres, bat that it acts for so short a distance its effect is pro- bably negligible in the movement of the absorbed moistare. A rise in the temperature effects a decrease in capillary movement. This is due to the increased movement of the molecules of the liquid and a consequent lessening of their powers of cohesion and adhesion. In water this decrease varies from the value at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, taken as i00%, to 82% at this value at 212 degrees. This decrease follows the curve of a linear equation as is shown in the diagram on page 58. V ISCOSITY The friction between adjacent layers of a fluid having different velocities has been termed the viscosity of the fluid. It arises from a friction between mol- ecules as capillarity depends on the cohesion and adhesion of these molecules. While water is considered a mobile rather than a viscous liquid, it has viscosity. The viscosity of a liquid decreases with an increase in -5- temperature. The table below shows the coefficient of viscosity for a few liquids in centimeter-gram-second xnits at different temperatures. Substance 32° F. 590 Mercury 0.0166 Water 0.0179 2120 0.0155 0.0146 0.0126 0.01 0.0068 0.0028 8.3 14.5 Glycerine 1000 68° 0.114 The decrease in the viscosity of water is quite rapid from 52 degrees Fahrenheit to around 100 degrees, after which the decrease is slower, and at 212 degrees the curve remains almost constant at approximately ie% of the value for the viscosity at 52 degrees. (See chart on page 58) While viscosity in itself is a retardant to the movement of water, drying ractice, in the use of higher temperatures than those occurring under ordinary atmos- pheric conditions, takes advantage of the marIed decrease in the viscosity and the resultant freer movement of the water. VAPOR PRLSSURE The pressure exerted by the molecules of a liquid in its vapor state is termed the "vapor pressure" of that liquid. The liquid itself may have a vapor pressure due -6- to the molecules which are passing off into the surrounding air from the surface of the liquid. "Other things being equal, the rate of evaporation from the surface of moist wood. is proportional to the difference between the vapor pressure of the water at the stirface of the wood and that of the vapor in the sur- rounding air." This difference has been called the "sat- uration deficit". At one temperature and humidity a certain part of the unconfined air surrounding a moist surface is displaced by water vapor, and., while ro increase over the atmospheric existing pressure occurs, a proportion of the pressure is then due to the vapor which is present. This proportion increases up to the boiling point of water at which point all the air adjacent to tho surface of the water is displaced by vapor, and the total pressure on the surface of the liquid. is due to the pressure of that vapor. -7- DESCRIPTION Ci? hQUIPMLIT The adaptation of experimental data to commercial practice in any line of research is simplified if con- ditions during the study and eqiipment used are as near to those found in the industrial field as is possible. The ideal equipment in a research project of this nature would be the entire plant or factory itself, equipped with added facilities and refinements and entirely at the command of the student. Perhaps more desirable and surely more within the possibilities of educational institutions are miniatures of commercial installations, complete in detail though reduced in size. The writer feels fortunate in having had the oppor- tanity to carry on this study with the aid of standard dry kiln equipment, supplemented with instruments which make it an experimental as well as a practical installation, DRY KIL The kiln used in these experiments is of the inter- nal-fan reversible circulation type, It is full size in every detail and dimension, with the exception of length which is only sufficient to accommodate lumber up to 20 feet long. The inside dimensions of the drying cham-8- ber, exclusive of the lower part which houses the coils, fans, etc., are approximately 12 by 12 by 22 feet. The lower part mentioned above is about five feet deep. The drying chamber is of tile and concrete construction coverod on the inside with moisture and heat resisting paint. Double-hinged doors of a patented fire- proof construction close the open end of the kiln. Adjacent to the closed end of the drying chamber is the operating room or "pit". This room contains all the instruments for recording and. regulating conditions within the kiln. Eext to the operating room is a room Glimpses which contains a small boiler and a band saw. of the operating room may be had in the included photographs. In the first photograph on page 10 may be seen the controlling and recording thermometers. The vapor- filled bulbs of these instruments are within the drying chamber and are connected to the controller by means of armored copper tubes. CONTROLLING AND RECORDING INSTRULLNTS The recording, controlling instrirnent which is the one seen furthest on the rig;ht, regulates the tempera- ture and the humidity within the kiln. Its operation depends on two bulbs, ono of which measures the temperatu.re, while the other is completely covered with a wick, -9- TIlE SCALES, RECORDING AND CONTROLLING T}lERMOTiflTERS AND AN DRIVE CONTROL VALVES POR THE HEATING COILS (ABOVE) AND VAPOR LINE (BELOw) -10- which is kept wet from a water-box or reservoir receiving water from the operating room by means of a small copper tube. The difference between the readings of these two bulbs determines the relative humidity within the drying chamber. (The relative humidity o± the air is the amount of water which it contains expressed. in the per cent of the amount of water it could hold if satu.rated at the same temperature and pressure.) This controlling thermometer may be set for any desired temDeratare and humidity, and its mechanism causes compressed air to operate the diaphragm valves shown in the picture below. Air entering these valves opens them, and they are closed again by means of springs on the release of the air Pressure. The top valve in the photo controls the steam entering the two heating coils, while the lower one is connected with the vapor line which furnishes live steamto keep the humidity at the desired point. The other thermometer merely records the temperature existing within the kiln. Daring the experiments perform- ed in this study, the bulb of this instruments was placed. on the opposite side of the load from the two controller. bulbs of the It was placed in the path of return air as it loft the lumber and before it was drawn down through the heating coils for recircu.lation. By comparing the tTdry bulb" reading of the controller with the reading of this -11- latter instrument the amount of heat consumed in evaporating the moisture can 'cc read in degrees of temperature drop from one side of the load to the other. The change in this drop is a rough indication of the progress of drying within the load. SO LE S However, the facts concerning the loss of moisture from the lwnrber within the kiln are read on the dial of the large scale. This scale is graduated in 25-pound divisions to read up to 7,0OO pounds. The tracks on which the loaded kiln trucks are run are hung free by means of four iron rods from the system of compound levers on the roof' o± the kiln. These levers are carefully adju.sted and the weiht reduced and transmitted to a single rod which enters the operating room to the scale. The weight of the baffles and stickers used in each load is set off on the beam of the scale and the weight of the lumber alone can be read to within 10 pounds on the dial. :i?.A1s Three fans in the base of the kiln provide air circulation. These fans are of the disc type, are 39 inches in diameter and have twelve blades each. They are hung on a single shaft running parallel to the long dimension -12- XPERILT DRYING DRY IILN OVEN AND -13- BUILDINGS SLATL BALA.NC of the kiln and which is supported on three pedestal bearings. Oil is fed to these bearings by means of cop- per tubing from three oil caps, situated conveniently near the door of the kiln. The fans are powered by a five horsepower induction motor, operating on a three phase, sixty cycle current at 220 volts and using 13.6 amperes at fall load. Power 18 taken off this xotor by means of a grooved pulley and three "Va belts running side by side. The motor speed Is reduced about one-third by the size of the two pullies. The direction of the fans' rotation and their speed, which determine the direction emd volume of the air move- ment across the load, are controlled by a two-way switch and a controlici' or rheostat. The latter allows speeds, ranging from 300 to 600 revolutions per minute. Hi!ATLNG Steam furnishes the heat for the kiln. It is obtain- ed. from the College heating plant daring the day and from the small boiler at the kiln daring the night. Steam pressures vary from 30 to 40 pounds per square inch. The kiln boiler is of the fire tube type, is 12 Leet long by 30 inches in diameter, and has had its original fire box remodeled for the installation of an automatic oil burner. The heating coils within the kiln are in two banks of -14- 24 pipes each. One ban1 is situated on each side of the kiln in a position a little below the level of the track. (See diagram on page 20.) The coils are of the combined return-bend header type, having the return-bend at the open end of the kiln and. the headers at the back. These coils are placed to drain to the lower header and the condensate is then taken care of by two steam traps. The vapor line consists of a single pipe, located under each heating coil. Small jets are placed at in- tervals along each of these iipes. OTHER .LU IPLiiiT Under this heading there may be listed several pieces of equipment. The most important of these are the air compressor, the small scales, the drying oven, and the band Saw. As was explained before, the air compressor furnishes the motive power for the regulation valves. This particular compressor is of the small unit type common in garages and service stations, having the compressor and motor mounted on top of the storage cylinder. The tank or cylinder carries air at from 70 to 100 pounds per sqaare inch pressure, but this is reduced so that on- ly 15 pounds pressurereaches the controller. Between the compressor and the controller, two filters are placed in thø air line. These filters remove the water, oil, or -15- L other foreign matter from the air before it reaches the controlling instrument. These would be injurious if allowed to get into the instrument. The oven, small scales, and the band saw are used in taking the moisture content samples. The band saw is a small upright model. The wheels are about 12 inches in diameter, and the driie is through a direct connected electric motor. The saw is about ons-qiarter inch in width, and lumber two inches in thichness can be cat with ease. The sample wafers are weighed directly on the small triple beam balance. This is a very accurate scale, and when adjusted will weih to centigrams. Weighing is followed by a drying period in the oven. The one used this year is of a late type and operates from a lighting circuit at 110 volts. The temperature within the oven may be controlled to within a few degrees, and as high as 200 degrees Centigrade may be maintained. -16- EXPERILIEITAL PROCEDURE 'Ttfl1T A As pro'viously indicated this stady has concerned Douglas fir lu.mber entirely. Afl arrangement was made between the College and the Corvallis Lumber Company, wherein the latter agreed to furnish the necessary lumber for this experimental work. The lumber as received from the mill was ungraded clear, one inch in thickness and of various widths up to one foot. The bulk of the majority of the loads was made up of four and six inch widths with the former generally predominating. Each load consisted of from 1000 to 1300 board feet. Coming as it did from small logs, the lumber contained a large percentage of sawood. Eo effort was made to determine this ercentage accurately, but in some cases loads contained at least 3O of sapwood. The above paragraphs will give some idea of the heterogeneous nature of the material used in this study and a better appreciation of the difliculties encountered in correlation of resuits. Segregation of the material into groups more homogeneous in character would have been possible, but the question arises as to its value in this -17- It was not possible to secure all lumber in instance. one certain dimension or per cent of sap, and the time in which the study was conductod was so limited that sorting at the him would have resulted in one or two charges only in each of many different classifications. As the experiments were conducted, the number of charges ran of the general and all-inclusive classification of Timill_runTi were too few. PBPA.ATIClJ OJ? LOADS The lumber was piled flat on the three trucks, edge to edge with no space between boards and with the boards rurniing longitudinally. Between each layer, five stick- ers about 1 inch thick, 2 inches wide, and 8 feet long wore placed directly over a steel bunh of the trucks. This would space them about four feet apart. Care was taken to "splice" the short lengths or butt their ends together in the center of the load as well as to keep ends of the layers well filled out to the the length limit. Gaps left in a layer would tend to deflect part of the air in its passage across wise cause uneven drying in the the load and other- load. The thousand feet of lumber dried in each charge filled about seven or eight layers on the trucks and made a pile about 8 feet wide and 15 or 16 inches high above the bunks. To get circulation through the load, when such -lB - a small part of the kiln capacity was utilized, a temporary baffle was used. This baffle was a heavy piece of sheet iron about four feet wide and twenty feet long and was supplemented by two small pieces about three feet wide and five feet long, which were fitted around the ends of the load. The position of the baffle is indic- ated in the diagram on page 20. The stickers under the top layer of lumber were allowed to project some eight inches toward the right wall of the kiln. These stick- ers served. to support the temporary baffle, which was laid. partly on thorn and partly on the load. and fitted tip to the wall of the him. This cut off the circula- tion into the vacant space in the kiln and forced. the air to find. a path through the load. Due to the smallness of the loads the bulbs for the controlling thermometers wore removed from their position about half-way up the right hand wall of the kiln and. placed below the temporary baffle. There they were placed in the path of the entering air. bulb was placed on the opposit The recorder side of the load in the path of the return air and directly across from the con troller bulbs. After the thermometer bulbs and baffles were in place, the doors were tightly shut and the loads weighed in the operating room. The trucks and baffles had -19- VfNTtLATDRS 1 .-'-:r---- rrrr-. . .. -z - 7- _ I X - £ 7--' .-- -r-x- - = rc=tt r - tsr- r----, - -t- ----xJt 7LrrTzr-:r----r---r 7-::--r-----T- - C r--- tfl tr INST RVPaENT -' OUI.55 - r -iii L 1 -r - I:8c-zC - r -- r z -_L_x_ = _Z__4., - -zi- Xz7=. j-------j - 1 -7 ----I: - 1 I I £ 4 C.ITTji7_ _ I I-.3.4 -_L_ 7= X1Jr zvI1_ 4EIGT OF 4- C-IT LOPO5 USED 4-: 1- 4 I IN TIS WORK 7 r---r4 4 1-L I- - I - r1 _1 1 -t--:i- - rr ,Lr:TL 1 _1-c-i- r-t--I .- r---t- --- 1 IJ X1-_: - i 7-L -1______ . 1 I 1L - - -j /4 ADJU5TBL BAFFLES I-- s- II.A css OH HILi US2i 20- T Iu IJ OH THIS HOHK been weighed previously, and this weight together with an allowance of three pounds for each sticker used was set off for each load on the beam of the scales, weight read on the dial was that of The the lumber alone. DRYING PRQhDiJRE It has been previously intimated that the subjects of this study were three properties of water absorbed in wood, namely, capillarity, viscosity, and vapor pressure. The movement of moisture in wood at any temperature, neglecting a minor movement due to the expansion of the water in eomDletely filled cell cavities, is due to the resultant of the forces of these properties. The value of the force of each is a func- tion of the temperature of the surrounding air which is heating the water and wood, but the humidity of this surrounding air also affects the rate of evaporation from the surface of the wood. Thus, to study accurately their resultant forces as they vary with the tempera- ture, the effect of the humidity of the surrounding air mast be eliminated if possible or held constant at some point. The effect of the humidity of the surrounding air on the moisture movement in wood may be traced to a great extent to its effect on the dryness of the outer layers or shell of the wood. -21- In other words, if the shell moisture content could be maintained through a range of different temperatures, other things being equal, the results obtained in drying time or moisture movement could be attributed to the temperature alone. However, this disregards the holding capacity of air for moisture. This increases with the temperature and the adjustment of humidity for shell moisture content does not adjust the increasing differences in moisture holding capacities at higher temperatures. The United States orest Products Laboratory made some extensive tests to determine at what point, express- ed in moisture content, there would be no further loss of moisture from wood when exposed for an indefinite time to a certain combination of temperature and humidity. This is called the equilibrium moisture content for this temperature and humidity. These tests were made over a wide range of theoe combinations, and the results rer published in the form of curves for the dif- ferent temperatures. Jith the permission of the investi- gators, the Lloore Dry Liln Company used the data to pre- pare the chart which is here included. This chart sim- plifies the determination of the equilibrium moisture content. Reading the temperature on the horizontal and the humidity on the vertical axes, the desired moisture content is read from the oblique line which is cat at the junction of the certain temperature and humidity. -22- When drying at any temperature and humidity, the very outermost layers of the wood will readily drop to the moisture content which is in eqailibrium with that temperature a humidity. Choosing am arbitrary mois- ture content for the shell to be maintained throughout the experiments, the humidity needed at each temperature to obtain this shell moisture content was read from the Lioore Chart. The moisture content chosen was 11% in order not to reduce the surface moisture content to a point which would be likely o cut off capillarity. Thus, at 190 degrees Fahrenheit the humidity maintained was 78 and at l5 deurees, 70.

With the nigner temperatures and ilurlioit-ies it was found to be oi advantage to let tue macer and ailn neat for awhile before starting the fans. This, o± course had some effect on the rate of dring, bat tue moisture contents, which this condition affected, were outside the limits chosen for the final comparison of results.

As stated before, the loads were weighed as origi- nally pat into the him. This weighing was repeated at interals throughout each schedule. At the beginning of the run when moisture loss was raiid, visits for inspecion were made every two to four hours. between visits was lengthened. Later the time When weighing, both the weight and the time were recorded. During these visits a routine inspection of instruments was made. Both wet and dry bulb temperatures on the controller were cheched with those scheduled. The recording instrument temperature was read, and the diffore nec between. it and the dry bulb on the controller noted. Added inspection of fan motor, compressor, boil- er, etc., was made and in some cases averted accidents. At some period in each schedule, the loss of weight of the lunber had slowed, down to such an extent as to announce a condition of moisture content equilibrium in most of the lumber. Such further loss as did appear could be traced to certain mieces in the load which for some reason, such as greater density, had lagged in the drying process. At this point the ziln was opened tem- porarily and sampled for the average moisture content of the lumber. In sampling, an effort was made to secure samples -25- Some were taken from from different parts of the load. the center, riRht, and left sides at different heights load. in tt The number taken varied from eight to eleven. Each board ssmpled was pulled from the load and two feet out from one end. The doors were closed as quickly as possible, and. the 2-foot sections taken to the band saw in the operating room.

C 0 II P A R I S 0 N S Because of the variation of initial moisture con- tents, the drying curves and total drying times repro8eflted could not be accurately compared. AlSO, for the reason that in most cases scheduled conditions did not exist immediately at the begirming of the runs, a mois- ture content was chosen which would be found in the drying carvos somewhere below the initial moisture content. This procedure also made sure that transfusion had began before results wore ta:en for comparisons. content of 50% was not low enough in a few The moisture cases to bring the succeeding parts of the carve into scheduled conditions, but it was thought advisable to use that moisture content rather than a lower one. It was further decided that for greater accuracy in comparisons the drying curves should be divided into two parts, the first being from the 50% moisture content, chosen as above, to Douglas fir, is about 25% ing part of the saturation point which, in moisture content.

In the diagram the only indication of correlation is the -51- grouping of short drying periods in the high temperature corner of the rectangle. This grouping suggests a line drawn diagonally from the upper left to the lower right hand corners or a correlation of high temperatures with short drying periods. In opposition to this possible correlation is the fact that the drying time of 22 hours occurs at four different temperatures, ranging from low to high. This indicates no correlation between tempera- ture and drying time between 50% and 25% moisture content and only further experirnent will determine wnich trend will be followed.

A list, similar to that on page 50, of drying times for this range of moisture contents is included. The diagram on page 54 shows the average time for each temperature plotted and an attempt at an average line drawn through these points. This curve shows a flattening off between 170 and,lb0 degrees and a slight rise at l)0 degrees. The majority of these runs were made at around 170 and 180 degrees, and the points representing the average time for these temperatures are more accurately placed than ttie point for the -52- 190 degree schedule, at which temperature only one run was made and. wnich is responsible or an upward tilt In the average curve.

Vhile 25% moisture content is the accept- ed fibre saturation point for Douglas fir, the fallacy of thinking that at an average moisture content of 25% In a board all the free water is gone from the cell cavities is evident. If the structure of wood were strictly homogeneous and if drying took place without the presence of a rnoistu:re gradient, that is, if there were no difference between the moisture contents of the shell and. core, accur- ate determination of the moisture content at which no free water existed would be possible. Douglas fir is one The 25% value for which mast exist uniformly to hold true, to the definition and must not be the average of an 18% shell and a Thus, one 2% core. has no means of telling just where on the drying curves the free water no longer exists in the cil cavities of the wood. Tests for moisture gradients, -55- if exhaustive enough, might disclose this point, and. it may be approximated by a study of the drying curves themselves. Theoretically, the drying process slows up at the fibre saturation point. flattening or brea1 The point at which the in the drying curves begins should indicate the approximate point of the disappearance of free water. Studying the curves included it can be seen that this break does not come at 25% moisture content, bat much lower on the carve and varies greatly among the runs. It cannot be claimed that the curves were divided on each side of the fibre saturation point, therefore, but rilerely at 25% moisture content. CIRCULATIOI AID TELaDERATURE It has been fairly well established that the rates of drying wood, down to the fibre saturation point, is a function of the circulation within certain limits. This is because a more rapid circulation will bring heat more quickly to the lumber to replace heat lost through evaporation of water arid also will remove the moisture-laden air from the surface of the wood, allowing a more rapid transfusion of water from the interior of the wood. Also, authorities on the drying of wood agree that an increase in the temperature will result in an increase in the drying rate. Prom the included table of water- -56- holding capacities of air in grains per cubic foot at different temperatures and iumidities, It is found that air at 190 degrees and 78 per cent humidity has a little more than twice the capacity for moisture than that at 160 degrees and 72 per cent humidity. With these figures alone it would seem that the moisture loss at 190 degrees and. 78 per cent humidity would be much faster than at 160 degrees and 72 r cent humidity. The actual results at these temperatures show a decrease in th-ying time of only two hours or 9 per cent from the lower to the higher temperature. This would indicate that the air had suf- ficient capacity at the lower temperature. The argument arises that using one rate of circulation which was comparatively low a condition might exist wherein the moisture-laden air was not removed rapidly enough or enough keat conducted to the lumber at the higher temperatures to allow them to dry at the proper rate. An anwer to this is the fact that the drop in temperature across the load was more than eight degrees in only two instances even at the beginning of the charges, and one which registered a temperature drop that would tnalce the return air at 100 per cent humidity did not suffer in drying time. hours of every run of 'or the first twenty-four the higher temperatures the vapor and heating lines were using steam in large quantities to -57- ?IZ 1q2 liz 5Z 4, 32 'z * V., .7z Qi, 2e 7 _0 SO 40 Per'cern'cze oIL'a/ve DIAG-RAi'1 SHOWING TEE O 0 /0 0 ait 3%O/ FFiCT OII TEMRTUES ON CAPILLARITY AND VISCOSITY O WATJR su.pply heat lost in evaporation of water to keep the humidity at the proper point. Viewing these resalts as fairly as possible the eon- clu.sion appears that for these rims, at least, the movement of moistare within the wood. rather than the -58- rate of evaporation from the surface was the limiting factor in the drying rate, and that temperature had little effect on this rate. Considering the comparison of drying curves below the 25% moisture content, the results are more marked than those above.

The fact that drying times from 25% to 11% moisture content were lower around 170 degrees has been mentioned and. seems to 'bear oat the theory of a maximum resultant of capillarity and viscosity mentioned above. The posi- tion of this maximum resultant is responsible for the greater number of runs in the vicinity of 170 and 180 dgrees, which were made in an effort to let any tendency become evident. VAPOR PRESSURE Bringing in the part which vapor pressure plays in moisture movement is fraught with dangers of misinterpretation of facts. Results from these experiments would eaggest that vapor pressure has little effect either above or below the fibre saturation point on drying time. While the wood contains free water in the cell Ca- vities at the core, the temperature gradient in the piece will range from the temperature of sholl to the temperature of at the core. the the air at the dewpoint or "wet" bulb The lower temperature of the core is due to the loss of heat used in evaporating the water in the outer layers. Thus, the vapor pressure at the shell will be the vapor pressure of the air in the kiln at the humidity maintained, and the vapor pressure -60- at the core will theoretically be that of air at i00% humidity and the temperature of the "wet" bulb. can be formulated from vapor The following table ressures of saturated vapors at different temperatures.

Whether this difference in pressure is of great consequence is Questionable from the light of the figixres secured in these experiments. Below the point at which free water is present in the cell cavities, the temperature of the core approaches that of the shell until theoretically, when the wood is completely dry or drying has ceased at a uniform moisture content of shell and core, the two will be identical. Thus, with a uniform moisture content of shell and core and. a uniform temperature tnrougkiout , no differential in vapor pressures would exist between shell and core.

T C 0 1 C L U S I 0 U S The data secured in this study indicate several conclasions. First, under the conditions of equal circula- tiori. and. moisture content of the shell held. in the exper- iments, the effect of temperature on the rate of drying of wood from 5O to 25 moisture content is not recogniz- able from drying times obtained. at the different temperatures. Second, there appears to be an optimum point for the movement o of 25 and. ll moisture between the moisture contents at between 170 and 180 degrees Fahrenheit. The position of this optimum point coincides with the position of the greatest resultant of capillarity and. viscosity as read from the diapram on page 58. Third, the factor of vapor pressure in the movement of moisture in wood appears to be of little or no consequence in these experiments. It must be added. that these experi- ments were conducted. at temperatures between 15 and 190 degrees Fahrenheit. At higher temperatures this third conclusion might not hold true. These conclusions cannot be announced. as definite without further study because of the heterogeneous nature of the material used., the lack of sufficient data, and because of the inaccuracies which result from a new an untried experimental technique. -65- B I B L I 0 G R A P II Y Badger, Walter L. and McCabe, Varren L., Elements of Chemical Engineering, first edition, 1931 Fowle, Frederick B., Smithsonian Physical Tables, second reprint of the 7th revised edition, 1923 Hawley, L.
