Modeling Heat and Moisture Transfer within Porous Textiles under High Temperature Gradients

摘要

The paper consider heat and moisture transport within cotton fabric exposed to fire as drying process. A mathematical model of simultaneous heat and moisture transfer is proposed for the prediction of temperature distributions during high heat flux condition based on the theory of drying. Shrinkage occurring in the drying zone was incorporated into the present numerical model. Using the model, we will can understand the drying mechanism and process of flame retardant cotton fabric used for thermal protective clothing. The discrete calculation and experiments will be presented in the further study.
