Abstract
The flow of gas-phase products in three-dimensional porous bodies was modeled for the case when a source term is present. Analytical solutions to the governing partial differential equations were obtained for bodies of parallelepiped and cylindrical geometry. An important feature of the model is that it treats the case where the permeability in the body may be anisotropic. The evolution of pressure within the body depends on a number of parameters, including the rate of production of gas-phase species, and on the dimensions of the body. The model is thus able to describe the pressure within a porous ceramic body arising from flow during a number of elevated-temperature processing operations such as drying, binder burnout, and sintering.
