| Goals | To explain basic definitions related to wood material Physics. Giving importance to wood-water relationship. Students is describe behavior of Wood material according to find area, İntroduce to Water Transfer in Wood, Sorption, Capillarity, Viscosity, Permeability terms. Students about wood physics, electrical, thermo and acoustics properties of wood will be detailed. |
| Course Content | Anatomical Of Wood Structure, Coniferous And Broad Leaved Wood Structure, Wood-Water Relation, Moisture Test, Weight-Volume Relation In Wood, Specific Gravity, Volume Density, Hygroscopic Equilibrium Of Wood, Shrinkage And Swelling Calculates, Volume Determination Methods, Moisture Determination Methods, Maximum Moisture And Density Of Wood And, Heat, Enthalpy, Gas Complications, Absolute Humidity, Water Physics, Relative Humidity, Evaporation Ve Condensation, Sorption, Hygroscopic Equilibrium, Hysteres, Saturated Moisture, Permeability In Coniferous And Broad Leaved Wood, Capillarity, Capillary And Osmotic Pressure, Moisture Transfer In Wood, Thermic Properties Of Wood, Specific Heat, Heat Radiation, Heat Conductivity, Heat Value, Electrical Properties, Acoustics Properties Of Wood |
