A numerical study on drying of porous media

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this study, two-dimensional conjugate heat and mass transfer in porous body and drying air during the drying process were numerically investigated by finite volume (FV) method, which guarantees the conservation of mass, momentum and the energy during the numerical solution. The full NS-equations (including buoyancy terms), energy equation and concentration equation are considered for external flow and for porous field coupled energy and moisture transfer equations are used. The numerically captured curve shows the same behavior of the drying process. Drying flow velocity shows proportional effect on moisture removal rate with a factor between 1/4 and 1/5 in Reynolds range of 50 to 1,000. Also, buoyancy forces have an effect on flow streamlines, the distribution of vapor concentration, moisture profile, and considerably increase drying rate. This increment was investigated in Reynolds number range of 50 to 1,000, and its minimum value was found in a Reynolds number of 1,000, which was about 15 percent.
