A piece of hemlock wood measuring 15.15x14.8x0.75 cm is to be dried from the two large faces from an initial total moisture content of 90% to a final average total moisture content of 10% (both dry basis), for drying taking place in the falling-rate period with liquid-diffusion controlling. The moisture diffusivity has been experimentally determined as 1.7x10-6 cm2/s. Estimate the drying time if bone-dry air is used.
