A model for multiphase moisture and heat transport below and above the saturation point of deformable and swelling wood fibers – I: Mass transport

A thermodynamically consistent model for heat and mass transfer in deformable wood fibers is developed. The hybrid mixture theory is used to model the material as a mixture of three phases, consisting of a solid, a liquid and a gas phase. The solid phase consists of dry fibers and bound water consti...
