The governing equations of moisture, heat and carbon dioxide flows through concrete within the framework of a distributed parameter model are described. The coupling terms and the non-linearity of the problem are taken into account and a numerical procedure based on the finite element method is developed to solve the set of equations. The influence of relative humidity and temperature is investigated and typical results are presented. Comparisons with experimental tests are also carried out and one example is presented in detail in order to show the reliability and the effectiveness of the proposed numerical model.

A previously published mathematical model of the effect of in-pore mass transport resistance on the kinetics of reactions between porous solids and gases has been verified by a study of the oxidation of a baked carbon tube at temperatures in the range 300-420"C. The baked carbon used in these studie
