The moisture distribution in wall-to-floor thermal bridges and its influence on mould growth
UCL Open Environment, 2022 Moisture in building envelopes increases the energy consumption of buildings and induces mould growth, which may be amplified within the area of thermal bridges due to their different hygrothermal properties and complex structures.

Modeling and simulation of heat and mass transfer in an Ethiopian fresh injera drying process
Heliyon, 2021 In this paper, we developed a mathematical model to simulate the heat and mass transfer during the convective drying of injera. The coupled set of heat and moisture partial differential equations (PDEs) were numerically solved by the finite element ...

Numerical modelling of coupled heat, air and moisture transfer in building envelopes [PDF]
Mechanics & Industry, 2015 This paper reports on numerical modeling of heat, air, and moisture transfer through multilayered walls. Building materials are often subjected to temporal climatic variations, which can induce a transfer of heat and moisture through the walls of the building and the foundation soil. These materials are generally considered as porous media. The coupled

Investigation of the equilibrium and non–equilibrium models of heat and moisture transport in a wet porous building material [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 In the paper the equilibrium and non-equilibrium models of moisture transport across the wet building material are proposed and compared. The equilibrium condition between gaseous and liquid moisture phases in the first model is relaxed in the second one,

Porous materials in building energy technologies—a review of the applications, modelling and experiments [PDF]
, 2018 Improving energy efficiency in buildings is central to achieving the goals set by Paris agreement in 2015, as it reduces the energy consumption and consequently the emission of greenhouse gases without jeopardising human comfort.
