摘要

Wood can be a sustainable resource with the ability to fix the carbon dioxide by photosynthesis if the cycle of the felling, planting, and growing of trees would be controlled. The good tactile warmth of wood is treated by heat transfer analysis to sustain the cycle with increasing the demand for felled wood. The heat transfer analysis shows that the governing material property on the tactile warmth is the thermal effusivity. The contact surface temperature is proposed as the quantitative scale of the tactile warmth defined uniquely from physical quantities.
