An experimental and theoretical study of the nonlinear heat conduction in dry porous media

Contaminant removal from dry and wet sands by thermal desorption

“…Experimental and predicted temperature profiles in the dry quartz sand at T s = 1050 K The authors have developed a one-dimensional conduction model with variable thermal conductivity(Pourhashemi et al, 1999), which relates temperature variations along the depth of the porous media for a similar experimental set-up. For the development of the model for dry sand, an analytical solution to the Fourier's law of heat conduction was obtained under several simplifying assumptions as follows:1 no flow within the sand (e.g.…”
