Multi Scale MRI/X-ray CT characterisation and LB modelling study of wood drying - MiNMaT
Forestry Research, the research arm of the Forestry Commission
Efficient, controlled drying of freshly felled timber is critically important to the wood industry. The objective of this project is to create a framework of understanding that can be used to optimise the drying process. This requires understanding the link between wood microstructure, water saturation and water cellular environment and water transport parameters in timber as a function of temperature, relative humidity etc.
More details are available in the Further Information Pack, available on request.
Applications are invited until 1600 on Friday 7th June 2013.
