Material Behavior of Porous Media

Article Preview

Abstract:

The drying of porous media is studied in this paper by means of the continuous approach and the control volume method. Both transport phenomena inside the porous medium and overall drying kinetics are analyzed. The model utilized in this study requires a lot of physical properties. All of them have been established experimentally. The capillary pressure, which depends on the moisture content, is obtained by a mercury intrusion curve.
