Investigation of Heat and Mass Transfer in the Processes of Heat Treatment and Drying of Thermal Insulation Materials by A. I. Ol’shanskii, S. V. Zhernosek, A. M. Gusarov

“…It was assumed that at low temperature gradients over the cross section of a wet body, thermal transfer of matter can be neglected, and phase transformations are absent (Posnov's criterion is equal to zero). By processing the experimental data on convective heat treatment of materials carried out by the least squares method, experimental equations for calculating the kinetics of drying have been obtained. …”
