“…The present authors have investigated moisture transport through a porous plate having a thermal conductivity of 1.7W/(mK) to dry air from constant-temperature water (Wang et al, 2005(Wang et al, , 2006. And the present authors have also investigated the effect of thermal conductivity of the porous plate on the moisture transport (Wang et al, 2009). Here,we will summarize the work done in these previous investigations.…”
