Traditional design of experiments and response surface methodology are widely used in engineering process development. Bayesian optimization is an alternative machine learning approach that adaptively selects successive experimental conditions based on a predefined performance measure. Here we compared the two approaches using simulations empirical alkaline wood delignification to identify important benefits drawbacks context experiments. The showed selection initial measurement noise...
<ja:p>Distributions of three cross-sectional dimensions: radial and tangential tracheid width, cell wall thickness in different timber assortments Norway spruce were investigated. Wood samples from a mature stand measured with SilviScan. In the analysis, virtual trees constructed measurement data, divided into assortments: whole stem, top pulpwood sawmill chips. Average values distributions properties calculated for all assortments, earlywood latewood across tree assortment. There was...
<ja:p>Cell wall thickness and tracheid radial tangential diameter are important characteristics in papermaking. These fibre cross-sectional dimensions affect paper properties such as light scattering, tear tensile indexes. In the authorsâ previous article, mean values distributions of were obtained for Norway spruce (Picea abies). This article characterises Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) using exactly same methodology study on spruce, which enables comparison between tree species. The cell...
A method for producing lignocellulosic fibrillar fines directly from moist wood through a grinding process was evaluated. The is based on conventional stone with novel surface structure. (wheel) profile serrated in the axial direction of wheel, forces fibres to break down into fibrils instead detaching as matrix. arrangement mimics inclined feeding log against and completed without any related technical difficulties. Typically over 90% conversion rate (passing Standard Mesh 200 wire) were...
Traditional micromechanical theories for the tensile strength of paper do not account stiffness paper, even though in practice is closely coupled with stiffness. Another problem input parameters, few which have a precise meaning real paper. Especially interpretation inter-fiber bonding ambiguous. None existing connects an independently measurable value degree or bond strength. As result, conventional data unreliable. In this we will present “macromechanical” study that measured values and...
Article Mechanical Pulping: The influence of fibre wall thickness and fibril angle on development in the TMP process was published January 1, 2011 journal Nordic Pulp & Paper Research Journal (volume 26, issue 1).
