Transport phenomena during drying of deformable, hygroscopic porous media : fundamentals and applications /

A fundamental model of multi-phase flow in deformable, hygroscopic porous media is developed via macroscopic energy and mass conservation equations for application to paper and lumber drying problems. Microscopic effects are included via volume-averaging techniques for three phases present in porou...
