Delgado J.M.P.Q. (Ed.) Heat and Mass Transfer in Porous Media

Springer, 2012. 269 p. — ISSN: 1869-8433, e-ISSN: 1869-8441, ISBN: 978-3-642-21965-8, e-ISBN: 978-3-642-21966-5.This book, "Heat and Mass Transfer in Porous Media", presents a set of new developments in the field of basic and applied research work on the physical and chemical aspects of heat and mass transfer phenomena in a porous medium domain, as well as related material properties and their measurements. The book contents include both theoretical and experimental developments, providing a self-contained major reference that is appealing to both the scientists and the engineers. At the same time, these topics will encounter of a variety of scientific and engineering disciplines, such as chemical, civil, agricultural, mechanical engineering, etc. The book is divided in several chapters that intend to be a short monograph in which the authors summarize the current state of knowledge for benefit of professionals.Treatment of Rising Damp in Historical Buildings
