Revised theory of water transport in rock salt

Creators

Description

This paper presents a theoretical treatment of the water loss rate of a heated 1 kg sample of southeastern New Mexico rock salt. The analysis presented represents a refinement of a previously published model in which the water loss was assumed to be the Darcy flow of water vapor from a receding evaporation front. The refinement consists of a more careful and detailed modeling of the vapor region, including the effects of Knudsen diffusion and binary gaseous diffusion of water vapor through air. Results of the analysis are found to provide improved agreement with experiment during the room temperature drying stage
