Mass Transfer-Driven Evaporation from Capillary Porous Media offers a comprehensive review of mass transfer-driven 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 workin
