EXPERIMENT

II.1. Experiment Variables

 Oak wood : thin and thick
 Hot air flow rate : (1,35 m/s) dan (2,05 m/s)
 Temperature of Tunnel Dryer : 60°C, 70°C dan 80°C
 Immersion time 1 minute

II.2. Tools Used

- Tunnel Dryer
- Stopwatch
- Anemometer

II.3. Material Used

- Oak Wood
- Aquades

II.4. Experiment Procedure

1. Run the fan air dryer and turn on the heater to achieve the desired rate and
temperature.
2. Direct the damper so that no air is recycled.
3. The material to be dried (which is known to contain water) is placed on the tray.
4. Recording all required quantities per unit of time.
5. Drying is stopped when the mass of the material is constant
