Determiination of moisture diffusivity in porous media using moisture concentration profiles
Abstract--A procedure is presented to determine the moisture diffusivity for drying from measured moisture concentratio~a profiles. From error analysis it is shown that the applied space grid for scanning and the one-dimensional resolution of the NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) method used for the measurements had a minor influence on the accuracy of the determination of the moisture diffusivi...
متن کاملAsymptotic Behaviour of Wetting Fronts in Porous Media with Exponential Moisture Diffusivity
Abstract. We investigate the asymptotic behaviour of the wetting front arising from unsaturated flow in porous media wherein the liquid saturation θ obeys a nonlinear diffusion equation having moisture diffusivity that is an exponential function D(θ) = Do exp(βθ). For values of the physical parameters corresponding to actual porous media, the diffusivity at the residual value of saturation is D...
متن کاملDiffusion Mechanism and Quantitative Measurement of Moisture Transport in Porous Silica Gel Filter Using Dynamic Neutron Radiography Technique
Neutron radiography (NR) can investigate the diffusion mechanisms of moisture transport within the silica gel material. Dynamic neutron radiography (DNR) possesses the possibility to investigate the moisture profile inside the silica gel filter. The technique explained the relationship between moisture movement and time. This study investigated the diffusion mechanisms (absorption and infiltrat...
متن کاملApplication of Neutron Radiography to Image Flow Phenomena in Porous Media
Neutron transmission imaging is a technique ideally suited for imaging various flow phenomena in consolidatedporous media because the porous matrix is virtually transparent to thermal neutrons. Hydrogen-containing fluids, however, provide a contrast in the image due to their large thermal neutron cross-sections. This technique has uncovered new phenomena in the study of dissolution andprecipita...
متن کاملDielectric Properties of Bound Water: Application to Porous Media Surface Area and Grain Moisture Determination
The dielectric properties of molecular layers of water bound to solid surfaces or to macromolecules are substantially different than those of free water. Consequently, determination of moisture content from dielectric properties of porous mixtures, such as soils and rocks having moderate to substantial surface area and cereal grains, is affected by the amount and energy state of bound water. We...
