Simulating Moisture Transport and Heat Transfer in COMSOL Multiphysics®
Duration: 58:52
Water evaporation and condensation creates a significant amount of latent heat, which means that moisture transport is a key factor to consider when modeling heat transfer. This is particularly relevant to engineering applications such as evaporative coolers, accelerated corrosion, heat pipes, and energy efficiency in buildings.
In this archived webinar, we introduce you to simulating moisture transport and heat transfer in COMSOL Multiphysics®. We also demonstrate how to model condensation detection and heat transfer in building materials.
