Estimation of the drying process in porous media using the parallel and series moitrue transfer model

Moisture transfer is a very common phenomenon in a wide range of engineering fields, such as civil engineering (cement-based constructions), food processing, mining and soil penetration, drying and imbibition of porous media (including phase change…
