Abstract

Based on analyzing the mechanism of coupled heat and moisture transfer in building material, this paper takes temperature and moisture potential as driving force. We constructed the model of coupled heat and moisture transfer in building material, solved this model and got the analytical solutions for the distribution of temperature and moisture. Finally this model was tested and verified by using datas from other literature, and a good agreement was obtained. So this method is accurate enough to be used to simulate and forecast the problems of heat and mass transfer in building material.
