Moisture Permeability Data Presented as a Mathematical Function Applicable to Heat and Moisture Transport Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
The physics of moisture transfer is complex and as a result modelling is normally carried out on a macroscopic basis, with empirical coefficients used to simulate the transport process. These coefficients are not single values but depend on the moisture content of the material. The application of this data within the simulation environment requires the determination of a systematic methodology for its presentation. This paper investigates the transport coefficient referred to as the vapour (or moisture) permeability. This coefficient is central to the accurate simulation of moisture transport. A detailed analysis of various functional relationships between vapour (or moisture) permeability and relative humidity is carried out and a possible form of equation proposed. An initial data-base of material moisture permeability data is then reported for a range of common building materials.

Modeling of Coupled Moisture and Heat Transfer During Wood Drying
Development of an accurate mathematical model of sufficient generality to evaluate drying processes in materials having diverse moisture transport properties is proposed. The process of wood drying is interpreted as simultaneous heat and moisture transfer with local thermodynamic equilibrium at each point within the timber. The model is a mathematical one treating wood as a continuous and homog...
