Osmotically Driven Water Vapor Transport in Unsaturated Soils

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2001
Knowledge of the transport processes of bulk fertilizers and other solutes in soils and porous media is vital to understanding the environmental and economic impacts of many agricultural and waste disposal practices. Previous experimental research shows that significant water movement can occur towards regions of high salt concentrations in unsaturated

Water vapor transport in a series of polyarylates

Journal of Membrane Science, 2001
Abstract Water vapor sorption and transport properties are presented for a series of polyarylates. The effect of making various structural changes in the polymer backbone has been studied, by comparing the transport properties to those of the base polymer bisphenol A isophthalate.

Water Vapor Transport Through Protective Textiles at Low Temperatures

Textile Research Journal, 2002
This article surveys the physiological impact of waterproof textiles on the wearers of protective clothing. Wearer trials with test subjects in a climatic chamber involve ambient temperatures of +20. 0, and -20°C. The physiological function of breathable materials in comparison to a water vapor impermeable construction is quantified. Results show that

Gas, Vapor and Water Transport in Polymer Films

1973
There has been a huge upsurge of interest in recent years in the transport of gases and vapors through polymer films. More than two hundred papers have been published in this general area in the past five years most of which were concerned, at least in part, with fundamental aspects of the problem.

Water Vapor Transport over the Indian Ocean during the 1979 Summer Monsoon. Part I: Water Vapor Fluxes

Monthly Weather Review, 1987
Abstract Water vapor transport over the Indian Ocean during the 1979 summer monsoon is studied. The analysis is based on wind fields from the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts and humidity fields derived from a three-layer precipitable water dataset. Fields of zonal and meridional water vapor fluxes show significant variations over the

Transport of Water Vapor by Tenebrionid Beetles. I. Kinetics

Physiological Zoology, 1979
Larvae of two species of tenebrionid beetles from the Namib Desert are capable of absorbing water vapor from subsaturated air. Absorption does not take place during ecdysis but begins 2 days following ecdysis. Absorption is dependent on relative humidity and not vapor pressure deficit.

Dynamic Water Vapor and Heat Transport through Layered Fabrics

Textile Research Journal, 1992
Dynamic water vapor and heat transport in the transient state was investigated for fabrics made of polyester, acrylic, cotton, and wool fibers. The overall dissipation rate of water vapor depends on both the vapor transport rate and the vapor absorption by fibers, which are mutually interrelated. Water vapor transport is governed by the vapor pressure

Gasoline vapor transport through a high-water-content soil

Journal of Contaminant Hydrology, 1991
Abstract The diffusive transport of gasoline vapors in a fine-grained, high-water-conent soil was examined in a combined field, laboratory and modeling study. Subsurface vapor concentrations of a variety of gasoline-derived compounds were monitored for one year at a gasoline service station.

Statistical modeling of water vapor transport through woven fabrics

Textile Research Journal, 2012
Water vapor transport through textile structures is complicated and governed by various factors, including fabric openness, fabric thickness, pore size, and intrinsic fiber properties. The objective of this study is to understand parameters that are critical in the moisture vapor transport through woven textiles and develop a predictive model that ...
