Excel Program for Modeling Lumber Dry Kiln Operations

The two files below make up a model for lumber dry kiln operation. The kiln configuration and a drying schedule can be input and the code in the Excel file will simulate drying lumber to the specified MC or for the specified time.

Download both files and place in the same directory. Open the Excel file. Links in the Excel file will open and access the Word file. The download is good for 90 days, after which the files must be downloaded again.
