The study looked at how temperature and air speed affect how fast wood dries. They dried pieces of slash pine wood in a special kiln with different temperatures and air speeds. The results showed that higher temperatures and faster air speeds make the wood dry faster. The researchers used math to show that temperature and air speed have a big impact on drying time. They also found that air speed matters less as the wood gets drier. The study suggests more research is needed to understand how air speed and moisture level are related during the drying process.
