摘要：

The convective drying of pine wood cylinders (40 nun diameter) in hot air has been investigated experimentally for conditions reproducing those encountered in the drying section of fixed-bed updraft gasifiers (nominal velocities of 0.4-1.2 m/s and maximum air temperatures of 435-600 K). Temperature profiles show a drying zone slowly propagating from the heat exposed surfaces towards the inside, whereas the global drying rate presents two maxima, corresponding to moisture evaporation along a thin superficial layer and sample heat-up, respectively. The drying times reproduce trends already known on dependence of the external heating conditions and the initial moisture content. From the quantitative point of view, a moisture content of 50% is observed to delay the particle heating times up to factors of 3-5. Acceptable quantitative agreement is obtained between these measurements and the predictions of a simplified model of moisture evaporation in wood, which can be used to treat single particle effects in the more complicated mathematical descriptions of gasifier behavior.
