Abstract

The plano-one-dimensional problem of heat and mass transfer is considered when a porous semi-infinite material layer dries. At the boundary, which is permeable for the gas-vapor mixture, the temperature and composition of the gas are kept constant. Self-similar solutions are set describing the propagation of the temperature field and the moisture content field arising when heat is supplied. The intensity of dry flows is studied, depending on the initial state of the wet-porous medium, as well as the temperature and concentration composition of the vapor-gas mixture at the boundary of the porous medium.
