Abstract
The hygrothermal field in porous media exposed to heat and moisture considering nonlinear coupling was studied. Dissolved and gaseous phases with different diffusivities were used to model the moisture in solids and voids, respectively. Heat generated by the transformation of gaseous moisture into dissolved moisture was considered along with the transformation from dissolved moisture into gaseous moisture due to a change in temperature. The balance between dissolved and gaseous moistures is determined by the chemical equilibrium. A system of nonlinear coupling diffusion equations was derived, and a steady field for an infinite strip was demonstrated.
