A mathematical model is developed to simulate the drying of hygroscopic porous media and, in particular, of wood. Drying rate experiments were performed using wood specimens and a nonhygroscopic porous ceramic solid and were simulated using the appropriate version of the drying model. Calculated mod

β¦ Synopsis
This paper discusses heat and mass transfer in desorption drying. A basic equation system is derived to describe coupled heat and mass transfer in a porous medium with moisture desorption under temperature gradients and a vacuum environment. The desorption mushy zone model is used to obtain an exact solution for coupled heat and mass transfer with a moving desorption mushy zone in a porous half-space. The results are analysed numerically to demonstrate the effects of various parameters on desorption.

## Abstract The present paper deals with a numerical investigation of the hydrodynamic lubrication of a porous squeeze film between two circular discs. To this purpose, the thin film (reduced) Navier Stokes equations and a generalised porous medium model are solved. The numerical results show that
This paper is concerned with the mathematical study of a model describing the liquidαvapour phase change in porous media. Existence and uniqueness of equilibria for the stationary problem are proved. Linear and nonlinear stability results are obtained. In the one space dimensional case the global ex
