This work aims to study heat and mass transfer in solids with parallelepiped shape with particular reference to drying process. A transient three-dimensional mathematical model based on the Fick ́s and Fourier ́s Laws was developed to predict heat and mass transport in solids considering constant physical properties and convective boundary conditions at the surface of the solid. The analytical solution of the governing equations was obtained using the method of separation of variables. The study was applied in the drying of common ceramic bricks. Predicted results of the heating and drying kinetics and the moisture and temperature distributions inside the material during the process, are compared with experimental data and good agreement was obtained. It has been found that the vertices of the solid dry and heat first. This provokes thermal and hydric stresses inside the material, which may compromise the quality of the product after drying.

Nonlinearly Stretching Sheet

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate a three-dimensional boundary layer flow with considering heat and mass transfer on a nonlinearly stretching sheet by using a novel operational-matrix-based method. Design/methodology/approach The partial differential equations that governing the problem are converted into the system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with considering suitable similarity transformations. A direct numerical method based on the operational matrices of integration and product for the linear barycentric rational basic functions is used to solve the nonlinear system of ODEs. Findings Graphical and tabular results are provided to illustrate the effect of various parameters involved in the problem on the velocity profiles, temperature distribution, nanoparticle volume fraction, Nusselt and Sherwood number and skin friction coefficient. Comparison between the obtained results, numerical results based on the Maple's dsolve (type = numeric) command and previous existing results affirms the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method. Originality/value The motivation of the present study is to provide an effective computational method based on the operational matrices of the barycentric cardinal functions for solving the problem of three-dimensional nanofluid flow with heat and mass transfer. The convergence analysis of the presented scheme is discussed. The benefit of the proposed method (PM) is that, without using any collocation points, the governing equations are converted to the system of algebraic equations.
