Seasonal evaporative characteristic from soils

• Drying Technology
• June 2019

• We attempt to answer the effect of seasons (hot in summer and cold in winter) on evaporation characteristics of a saturated porous medium. Essentially, we investigate the effect of heat flux on eva...

Moisture transfer driven by particle size contrast

• Agricultural Water Management
• January 2020

• This article focuses on two aspects (a) water redistribution due to local changes in the particle sizes in soil and (b) how this configuration can be used to relate the physical water transport by ...

Wicking ability and cooling performance of a stack of packed capillaries.

• International Journal of Thermal Sciences
• February 2020

• This research is related to exploring better cooling characteristics and advancing the current limit. The research is important in the field of thermal management of electronic cooling devices such...

Have you wondered why face-packs become hard after they lose moisture? Find the answer ...

• PLoS ONE
• February 2020

• Surface hardening of a porous medium undergoing evaporation of moisture loss. The upper layer of soil becomes hard as is commonly seen when a river runs dry. We explore the physics behind this phen...
