KINETICS OF THE WOOD IMPREGNATION PROCESS. MODELING AND EXPERIMENT M. A. Brich , V. P. Kozhin , and V. K. Shchitnikov UDC 532.546:674.048 A physical and mathematical model of deep impregnation of wood by a fluid which allows for motion of the fluid and air in its porous structure is developed. The results of calculations of the kinetics of pressure-gradient impregnation of wood are reported. An experimental impregnation bench intended for investigations of different impregnation conditions and for measurements aimed at refinement of the impregnation parameters is described.
