The Effects of Humidity on Thermal Conductivity of Fir Wood
Abstract
In this study it was aimed to describe the effects of different humidity on thermal conductivity of Uludag Fir (Abies bornmülleriana M.). The lowest thermal conductivity of 0.0910 Kcal/mh°C was obtained from oven-dry samples. The highest thermal conductivity of 0.1904 Kcal/mh°C was obtained in completely wet samples. Consequently, oven-dry wood samples could be used as insulation material
