Heat Conductivity of Wood

    1. Answer the questions:

      1. What properties of wood do you know?

      2. Is wood a good or a bad conductor of heat?

      3. How is this property of wood used?

      1. Read the text and try to understand it.

The ability of a substance to resist a passage of heat, electricity or

sound is of the greatest importance. Wood possesses many valuable properties, low heat conductivity being one of them. Having studied the structure of dry wood scientists came to the conclusion that heat conductivity of dry wood is rather low. Having been dried wood does not conduct heat because its cell cavities are filled with air, the latter being one of the poorest conductors of heat.

This characteristic feature makes wood suitable for the wide application in everyday life, for example, as a building material, in the construction of refrigerators or electric devices and as handles of cooking utensils. The handle of a metal teapot becomes as hot as the teapot itself in a short period of time, a wooden handle remaining comparatively cool. To prevent the passage of heat to the handle all good quality teapots have small buffers of wood inserted between the teapot and its handles.

It should be remembered that the transmission of heat depends on the structure of the material.

The cellular structure of wood also partly explains why heat is conducted more rapidly along the grain than across the grain. Having higher density heavy woods conduct heat more rapidly than light, porous ones.

We are to know that the conduction of heat through wood is a matter of great importance. Boards, for example, are often dried in special kilns. One of the aims of this process is to raise the temperature of the interior of boards placed in the kiln. In these circumstances poor conductivity of wood is a disadvantage. Fortunately, the movement of heat is more rapid in green timber. Wood is usually more or less green when subjected to such treatments, therefore the disadvantage of poor conductivity is less marked. Green timber conducts heat much more quickly than dry timber of the same species because of water present, which is a much better conductor than air.

  2. Is the heat conductivity of wood high or low?

  3. Why is wood suitable for making handles of cooking utensiles?

  4. What does the transmission of heat depend on?

  5. Why is the conductivity of dry wood lower than that of green timber?

  6. What wood conducts heat more rapidly: heavy and dense or light and porous one?

  7. What process takes less time: drying boards in the open air or in a special kiln?

  8. What parts of boards being dried in a kiln are heated quicker: interior or exterior ones?

  9. Does green or dry wood conduct heat much more quickly? Why?
