Modeling of Impregnation of Wood with Protective Solutions and Emulsions

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

A calculational model for the process of deep impregnation of wood with solutions and water‐polymer emulsions is developed that takes account of the motion of the fluid, the polymer particles, and the air in the porous structure. Calculated results for the kinetics of impregnation of wood under the action of a pressure gradient and the distribution of the fluid in the material volume are presented. A comparison with experimental data for dry and wet wood is performed.
