Summary This article presents an analytical technique for determining the moisture diffusivities and moisture transfer coefficients for wooden slabs subjected to drying. The analysis of transient moisture diffusion is carried out on the basis of two important practical criteria: 0.1〈Bi〈100 and Bi〉100. The drying coefficients and lag factors which were defined for wood-drying applications were incorporated into the models. The developed analytical models are then verified by experimental measurements taken from the literature. Results show that the method presented here is capable of determining the moisture diffusivities and moisture transfer coefficients for such objects accurately. This approach can be extended to different wood products of regular shapes.
