Numerical study of the transient heat and moisture transfer through the single and double walls

Abstract

In this work, a numerical study of a coupled transient heat and moisture transfer was realized. The program developed is simple compared with those developed by other researchers in the literature. We have exploited it, to compare the evolution of temperature and the moisture content for simple and double layers walls of the same type and the same thickness in order to resolve the interface problem, then the influence of some boundary conditions was explored in order to see their impact on temperature and moisture evolution through two layer materials.
