Determination of Kinetic Characteristics of the Process of Drying of Forest Combustibles

An algorithm for determining kinetic characteristics of the process of drying of forest combustibles by the modified Hertz–Knudsen law in isothermal heating has been suggested and tested. It is shown that this algorithm allows obtaining of a stable solution of the inverse kinetic problem of onedimensional determination of the heat of evaporation and a preexponential factor with an error proportional to the error of initial experimental data. Kinetic characteristics of the process of drying of certain forest combustibles are determined by the experimental data known from the literature.
