Title: Numerical modeling of heat and mass transport processes in an evaporative thermal protection system

Journal Article · · Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics

We propose a mathematical model of heat and mass transport processes in a moist, porous material subject to capillary action. The material is in contact with a heated surface, and the processes take place while the liquid is evaporating in a cavity with a drainage hole. A sample calculation based on the model is presented. 45 refs., 4 figs.
