Nonequilibrium Thermal Dynamic Modeling of Porous Medium Vacuum Drying Process

Porous medium vacuum drying is a complicated heat and mass transfer process. Based on the theory of heat and mass transfer, a coupled model for the porous medium vacuum drying process is constructed. The model is implemented and solved using COMSOL software. The water evaporation rate is determined...
