The study proposes a mathematical model to simulate the drying of Pinus elliottii wood at high temperatures, considering heat and mass transfer phenomena. The model was experimentally validated, demonstrating the evolution of moisture content and temperature in the wood during the process. The results indicate that the model shows good agreement with experimental data, proving useful for predicting drying conditions under various scenarios.
