Drying of cappilary-porous materials in an external constant electric field

In the article, the mathematical model for the drying process of a porous layer subjected to an external electric field is developed considering the coupled effects of heat, mass, and charge transport.  A system of algebraic equations is obtained to describe the drying dynamics, incorporating key physical parameters such as boundary layer thickness, temperature, and electric field intensity.  The model is validated against experimental data, demonstrating its accuracy in predicting moisture distribution over time in a porous materials under the action of constant electric field.
