A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The third chapter brings things still closer to reality. Heat and moisture transfer are like Siamese twins, they are truly interconnected. Based on conservation of mass and energy, related theory on combined heat, air and moisture transport is first explored in detail, after which application at the wall assembly and whole building level is explored, among others by simplifying the partial differential equations with variable coefficients that govern the combined transport. One of the approximations used is the sorption‐active thickness of a flat assembly. The chapter ends with exercises.
