A Numerical Study on Thermal Drying of Moist Porous Solid

Drying of porous media has been the subject of many studies and is still a very active research topic. In addition to its practical importance in relation with the industrial drying of many products, drying can still be considered as an unsolved problem from a scientific standpoint. In this study, some general aspects of simultaneous heat and mass transfer in a thick porous body during drying process were investigated. The natures of solutions were discussed considering the physical properties of solid. It is shown that the temperature gradients play a role in describing the moisture profiles within the material when thickness is large. The predictions of temperature and moisture content show that the leading edge dries faster compared to other sides of the solid. Drying temperature and moisture content distributions in the porous solid were not uniform due to front stagnation effect during convection drying.
