Title: Measuring Dependence of Diffusion Coefficient of Wood on Moisture Concentration by Adsorption Experiments
Abstract: The dependence of the diffusion coefficient on moisture concentration of aspen wood at 110 F was determined by using an experimental method that requires a series of adsorption experiments and by applying a numerical method that includes using a finite difference technique to solve the diffusion equation with a diffusion coefficient that is dependent on concentration. The analysis showed that the diffusion coefficient increases with mosture content. Between 2.5 and 18.0% moisture content, the diffusion coefficient increases by a factor of 8.
