THERMALLY INDUCED HYGROSCOPIC MASS TRANSFER IN A FIBROUS MEDIUM.

Author(s) : PIERCE D. A., BENNER S. M.

Type of article: Article

Summary

A GLASS FIBRE SAMPLE WAS USED TO STUDY THE MASS TRANSFER PRODUCED BYA TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE ACROSS A MOIST, FIBROUS MEDIUM. THE EFFECTS OF AVERAGE TEMPERATURE, THERMAL GRADIENT MAGNITUDE AND AVERAGE MOISTURE CONTENT WERE SOME OF THE PARAMETERS STUDIED. VAPOUR AND LIQUID FLUXES WERE EVALUATED ALONG WITH VAPOUR AND LIQUID CONDUCTIVITIES. THE PHENOMENOLOGICAL COEFFICIENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LIQUID AND VAPOUR FLUXES WERE CALCULATED, AND THE FLUX CONTRIBUTIONS DUE TO THE THERMAL AND CONCENTRATION GRADIENTS WERE DETERMINED FOR STEADY-STATE CONDITIONS. TRANSIENT DATA FOR THE HUMIDITY, TEMPERATURE AND MOISTURE CONTENT WERE ALSO MEASURED OR CALCULATED.
