Abstract
The paper studies unsteady-state moisture behavior of multilayer enclosing structure using discrete-continuous method. Modification of Gagarin’s differential moisture transfer equation is proposed. The proposed moisture transfer equation within one layer of a multilayer enclosing structure is a second-order differential parabolic equation with constant coefficients. Third-kind boundary conditions of moisture exchange are set for enclosing structure boundaries. Fourth-kind boundary conditions represented by moisture potential flows equality are set at the joint of two different materials. An analytical expression for moisture potential calculation in any enclosing structure section, at any time, under continuous control for temperature distribution, has been derived using discrete-continuous method. Calculations for multilayer enclosing structure consisting of clay brick base and lime brick lining have been made. The obtained results have been compared to calculation results obtained by well-known Gagarin’s unsteady-state method and Kozlov’s engineering method. It has been shown that the discrete-continuous method allows calculating unsteady-state moisture behavior of multilayer enclosing structures by analytical expression, and obtaining moisture distribution similar to Gagarin’s unsteady-state method, thus it can be used by design engineers in practice.
