The use of cellular automata in the simulation of wood drying processes in a wood drying chamber of periodic action

In this work, research the essence of the wood drying process in a periodic wood drying chamber. This paper provides a mathematical model of a wood drying chamber, which describes the general essence of physical drying processes using the equipment available in the wood drying chamber. This approach allows to take into account the physical parameters of the necessary equipment, such as heaters, fans, humidifying nozzles or other. This approach also allows to ignore some design characteristics that may differ depending on the type of wood drying chamber.

The use of cellular automata in modeling the processes of wood drying in a stack

In this work, we investigated the possibilities of using a model of cellular automata in solving the problem of heat and moisture transfer in a periodic wood drying chamber. Thus, in this work are investigating the processes of heat and moisture transfer between the wood and its drying agent. Studies are carried out by using CAD model of stack of dried wood. To use cellular automata, it is proposed to present the CAD model as an array of cubes, each of which has six faces (cells).
