Advanced Study to Heat and Mass Transfer in Arbitrary Shape Porous Materials: Foundations, Phenomenological Lumped Modeling and Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Transport Phenomena in Multiphase Systems

Part of the book series: Advanced Structured Materials ((STRUCTMAT,volume 93))

Abstract

This chapter provides information related to simultaneous heat and mass transfer in unsaturated porous bodies with particular reference to drying process of arbitrarily-shaped solids. Several important topics such as drying theory, moisture migration mechanisms, lumped and distributed modeling for homogeneous and heterogeneous bodies, and applications are presented and discussed. Herein, a new phenomenological and advanced lumped-parameter model written in any coordinate system is presented, and the analytical solutions of the governing equations, limitations of the modeling and general theoretical results are discussed. The proposed model includes different effects such as shape of the body (hollow or not hollow), heat and mass generation, and coupled heating, evaporation and convection phenomena.
