This text presents an analytical theory describing the transfer of heat and matter in gaseous mixtures, dispersed systems, and porous bodies. The methods of the thermodynamics of irreversible processes are used to obtain a system of differential equations for heat and mass transfer in the presence of phase and chemical transformations, and then the solutions of this system for problems of unsteady heat and mass conduction with various boundary conditions are found. The data of these solutions may be useful in the calculation of drying, gasification, and combustion processes, as well as in the calculation of the separation of gaseous mixtures and molecular solutions.
This text will be of interest to a large number of scientists and engineers in research and in industry and may also be used as a textbook for students.
