Abstract Variable diffusivity and volume of the grains are taken into account in the diffusion model that describes mass transfer in soybean hydration. The variable space grid method (VSGM) was used to consider the increase in grain size, and the diffusivity was considered an exponential function of the moisture content. An equation for the behavior of the grain radius as a function of time was obtained by global mass balance over the soybean grain and the differential equation considered that the increase in radius happens due to the influence of the convective and diffusive fluxes at the surface of the grains. The model was solved by an explicit numerical scheme which presented satisfactory results. The results showed the behavior of moisture profiles obtained as a function of time and radial position and also showed how the grain radius increased with time and changed the solution domain of the diffusion equation.

Fiber-reinforced epoxy laminates were exposed to several combinations of temperature and relative humidity. The purpose was to determine rates and extent of moisture absorption. Diffusion rates varied with temperature, and equilibrium moisture contents varied with relative humidity. Data analysis provided values for the material properties that determined diffusion behavior. A nonlinear diffusion model containing these values was shown to describe and predict absorption behavior for any combination of temperature and humidity. The model also describes desorption and correlates well with experimental data from changing humidity conditions.
