Mass TransferDriven Evaporation from Capillary Porous Media offers a comprehensive review of mass transferdriven drying processes in capillary porous media, including pore-scale and macro-scale experiments and models. It covers kinetics of drying of a single pore, pore-scale experiments and models, macro-scale experiments and models, and understanding of the continuum model from pore-scale studies. The book:
- Explains the detailed transport processes in porous media during drying.
- Introduces cutting-edge visualization experiments of drying in porous media.
- Describes the pore network models of drying in porous media.
- Discusses the continuum models of drying in porous media based on pore-scale studies.
- Points out future research opportunities.
Aimed at researchers, students and practicing engineers, this work provides vital fundamental and applied information to those working in drying technology, food processes, applied energy, and mechanical and chemical engineering.
