Abstract

A computational model developed for the heat transfer and momentum in an oven to dry wood, in addition the study of the evolution in the time of the variables temperature and speed of the air which influences directly the process of dried. Solidworks software was used for finite element simulation of the heat flow in the oven. The objective of this work is to re-design the oven drying wood to allow improving the flow of heat and fluid inside. Some structural modifications of the design that allow directing better the flow and this way to improve the quality of the dried product.
