Moisture transfer models for slabs drying

International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer, 2005
This paper deals with an experimental and theoretical investigation of drying of moist slabs. Experimental part includes the measurement of the moisture content distributions of eggplant slices with 5 mm thickness and 35 mm diameter during drying at the temperatures of 55 °C, 65 °C, and 75 °C and the velocities of 1.0 and 1.5 m/s, respectively.

HYGROSCOPIC MOISTURE TRANSFER IN FIBROUS MATERIAL

Chemical Engineering Communications, 1986
In order to investigate hygroscopic moisture transfer in fibrous material, experiments were conducted to measure the mass flux and moisture distribution through a sample of glass fiberboard (138kg/m3). The samples ranging in thickness from 0.0388 to 0.053 m were exposed isothermally to relative humidity gradients ranging from 35 to 100%.

Moisture transfer of certain bodies with volumetric moisture absorption

Journal of Engineering Physics, 1967
An analytical solution is given to a boundary problem of the third kind, that of moisture transfer for bodies in the form of an infinite plate and an infinite cylinder, based on the generalized equation of moisture conduction, suggested by A. V. Luikov [1].

Moisture Transfer in Textile Systems, Part II

Textile Research Journal, 1962
While the moisture permeability index and insulation value define the heat transfer characteristics of fabric systems under equilibrium conditions, such conditions do not always occur. Moisture may accttmulate in clothing during periods of activity due to unevaporated sweat or sweat which has evaporated from the skin and recondensed in cooler layers ...

Dynamic Moisture Vapor Transfer through Textiles

Textile Research Journal, 1988
Cotton, polyester, and a blend in plain woven, pure finish fabrics were studied to determine their influence on dynamic surface wetness and moisture transfer through textiles. A simulated sweating skin was used, over which were placed test fabrics incorporating a clothing hygrometer to continuously measure dynamic surface wetness.

Moisture transfer by turbulent natural convection

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2019
We present an experimental and numerical study of natural convection with moist air as convecting fluid. By simplifying the system as two-component convection, an experimental method is proposed for indirectly measuring the moisture transfer rates in buoyancy-driven flows. We verify the results using direct numerical simulations.

Dynamic Moisture Vapor Transfer Through Textiles

Textile Research Journal, 1994
This study investigates new techniques for measuring the influence of fiber, type on fabric surface vapor pressure and temperature, which are related to sensations of cloth ing comfort. Microfine hygrometry and thermometry are used to measure dynamic changes in moisture vapor pressure and temperature on both surfaces of a two-layer fabric assembly ...

MOISTURE TRANSFER IN BUILDING WALLS MATERIALS

2008
The durability of surface layers of enclosures (outside walls of buildings) is highly influenced by stresses occuring in the plane of contact between finishing materials and that of the enclosure. Variations of sorption moisture in the surface layer of enclosures result in deformations which have to be evaluated together with adsorption and desorption ...

Moisture transfer properties of bifacial fabrics

Textile Research Journal, 2016
Many biological plants have bifacial leaves with an adaxial surface and an abaxial surface. These two surfaces can often have different morphologies and properties, and they serve different functions in plant growth. This has inspired us to develop novel bifacial fabrics, with a knitted structure on one face and a woven structure on the other ...

Moisture-transfer coefficient for climate models

Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 1996
Recent parameterizations of the moisture-transfer coefficient from measurements in the field and from tuning of the ECMWF model are reviewed. A formula for the neutral transfer coefficient varying continuously with the wind velocity is proposed for climate models.
