A finite element model for heat and mass transfer in capillary porous bodies with particular reference to the influence of pressure gradients

The analysis presented in this thesis is an application of the finite element method to the determination of the temperature, moisture content and pressure distributions within a capillary porous body. Luikovs system of partial differential equations, which are based upon the thermodynamics of irrev...
