Abstract: | In this study, a numerical methodology for the solution of conjugate heat and mass transfer problem is presented. Fluid flow,
heat and mass transfer over a rectangular brick due to transient laminar mixed convection has been numerically simulated.
The coupled non-linear partial differential equations, for both gas phase and solid are solved using finite element procedure.
Flow is assumed to be incompressible, two-dimensional, laminar. Analysis has been carried out at a Reynolds number of 200
with Pr = 0.71. The effect of buoyancy on the brick drying has been investigated. Velocity vectors, streamlines in the flow
field and temperature and moisture contours and temperature distribution along the solid surface are presented. It is observed
that there is considerable effect of buoyancy during drying. The results indicate a non-uniform drying of the brick with the
leading edge drying faster than the rest of the brick.
