ShareA method for predicting heat and moisture transfer through multilayered walls based on temperature and moisture content gradients.
Author(s) : MENDES N., PHILIPPI P. C.
Type of article: Article
Summary
A mathematical formulation applied to a numerically robust solver is presented, showing that moisture content gradients can be used as driving forces for heat and moisture transport calculation through the interface between porous materials with different pore size distribution functions. For comparison purposes, several boundary conditions are tested - in order to gradually increase the discontinuity effects - and a detailed analysis is undertaken for the temperature and moisture content distributions and sensible and latent heat fluxes, when the discontinuity on the moisture content profile is taken or not into account.
