Wood heat treatment has increased significantly in the last few years and is still growing as
an industrial process to improve some wood properties. The first studies on heat treatment …

Kiln drying of rubberwood lumbers is a complex transport phenomenon for realistic
modeling and simulation. To decouple this complexity, researchers usually divide their …

In this paper, one-dimensional model for evaluating coupled heat and moisture transfer in
porous building materials was proposed. The transient partial differential equations system …

Plants display a range of striking architectural adaptations when grown at elevated
temperatures. In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, these include elongation of petioles …

In the present work, two artificial neural network (ANN) models were developed for modeling
the effects of conditions of heat treatment process such as exposure period and temperature …

In order to better predict the hygrothermal behavior of porous building envelopes, it is
essential to develop reliable mathematical models which accurately capture the coupled …

The necessity of understanding and simulating hydrological phenomena as well as their
interactions and the effect of anthropogenic and climate conditions on the ecosystem have …

In the current work, three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations along with the energy and
concentration equations for the fluid coupled with the energy and mass conservation …

The main objective of this work is to present the impact of atmospheric pressure gradient on
the hygrothermal transfers in porous material. In this way, a mathematical model described …

During the heat treatment process, the heat and mass transfer takes place between the solid
and the drying medium, and the moisture evaporation occurs within the solid due to the …
