Author Description

<p>Mass Transfer-Driven Evaporation from Capillary Porous Media offers a comprehensive review of mass transfer-driven drying processes in capillary porous media, including pore-scale and macro-scale experiments and models. It covers kinetics of drying of a single pore, pore-scale experiments and models, macro-scale experiments and models, and understanding of the continuum model from pore-scale studies. The book:</p> <ul> <li>Explains the detailed transport processes in porous media during drying.</li> <li>Introduces cutting-edge visualization experiments of drying in porous media.</li> <li>Describes the pore network models of drying in porous media.</li> <li>Discusses the continuum models of drying in porous media based on pore-scale studies.</li> <li>Points out future research opportunities.</li> </ul> <p>Aimed at researchers, students and practicing engineers, this work provides vital fundamental and applied information to those working in drying technology, food processes, applied energy, and mechanical and chemical engineering.</p>
