✦ Synopsis

Periodic

solution of the simultaneous heat and mass transfer equations has been obtained for a homogeneous building component in a plane geometry. Calculations for January and June months of New Delhi show that moisture distribution over one day cycle is essentially in steady state where as the temperature distribution changes with time especially when outside and inside temperature difference becomes less. With increasing initial moisture content the temperature difference between outside and inside tends to be decreasing showing that the solution will be highly sensitive to the assumed boundary conditions.
