Numerical Simulation of Heat and Moisture Transfer in Porous Walls with Microencapsulated PCM

Accurate numerical simulation of moisture front in porous material

When comparing measurements to numerical simulations of moisture transfer through porous materials a rush of the experimental moisture front is commonly observed in several works shown in the literature, with transient models that consider only the diffusion process. Thus, to overcome the discrepancies between the experimental and the numerical models, this paper proposes to include the moistur...

a numerical simulation approach to calculating hygrothermal deformation of concrete based on heat and moisture transfer in porous medium

concrete deformation due to temperature and moisture condition will always develop simultaneously and interactively. the environmentally (hygral and thermally) induced stress and deformation are essential to concrete durability. to simulate the deformation of concrete caused by the coupling effect of temperature and moisture, a numerical simulation approach is proposed comprising analytical pro...

Modelling of Heat and Moisture Tranferin Porous

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the mathematical problems of modelling the physical process of heat and moisture transfer in porous materials. The method of discretization in time is applied to derive a discretized (generally non{potential) system of PDEs of elliptic type from the original variational problem of evolution. The convergence of corresponding Rothe sequences is studied.

Numerical simulation of a three-layered radiant porous heat exchanger including lattice Boltzmann simulation of fluid flow

This paper deals with the hydrodynamic and thermal analysis of a new type of porous heat exchanger (PHE). This system operates based on energy conversion between gas enthalpy and thermal radiation. The proposed PHE has one high temperature (HT) and two heat recovery (HR1 and HR2) sections. In HT section, the enthalpy of flowing high temperature gas flow that is converted to thermal radiation em...
