The average moisture content evolution and temperature of wood samples under different microwave powers were analyzed in terms of drying time and internal temperature level. Results show that the increase of microwave power level decreses the drying time and increases the internal wood temperature. Based on qualitative observations on the state of dried samples, the intermittent microwave powers intensity process present the optimal processing parameter in microwave drying of Eucalyptus wood species.8Reserva de todos los derechosDryingDehydrationDewateringEmerging technologiesProducts qualityProcess controlEnvironmentalEvaporationSublimationDiffusionEnergyIntensificationMicrowave dryingPowerIntermittentContinuousEucalyptus woodInfluence of intermittent and continuous microwave heating on drying kinetics and wood behavior of Eucalyptus GomphocephalaCapítulo de libro10.4995/IDS2018.2018.7430Abierto
