> >Wood: Influence of Moisture on Physical Properties > >John F. Siau, Adjunct Professor >Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University >Blacksburg, VA, USA > > This book is intended to satisfy the need for a textbook in the >Wood Physics field for use by both students and faculty. It provides the >opportunity to select and emphasize particular areas of interest and >includes problems and laboratory exercises. All material is presented in >the S.I. system of units. > > In addition to the above, this book will be useful to engineers >and architects as a guide to the expeditious use of wood in structures and >other applications. Particular emphasis is placed on the effects of >environmental factors such as temperature and humidity on many of the >physical properties of wood. > > The titles of the chapters are: > >1. Basic Wood-Moisture Relationships. >2. Elementary Wood Structure. >3. Permeability. >4. Capillarity, Osmotic Phenomena, and Water Potential. >5. Thermal Conductivity and Electrical Properties. >6. Steady-State Diffusion. >7. Thermodynamics and Sorption Theories. >8. Unsteady-State Transport; Mass Convection; Nonisothermal Diffusion. > >The hard cover book includes 200+ pages, 77 problems, 10 lab exercises, >and 125 illustrations and will be available after December 1995. >- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - >- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - >ORDER FORM > >Price: $49.95 per copy, discount of 10% for orders exceeding 15 copies. >Shipping and handling for one copy is $3.00 U.
