Temperature and Moisture Distributions in a Clay Buffer Material Due to Thermal Gradients
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 1992
Abstract
Several series of one-dimensional tests were used to investigate the nature of transient heat and moisture movements in a clay buffer under different imposed temperature gradients. The measured temperature and moisture profiles were used to calculate the diffusion parameters governing heat and moisture movement in the buffer material. The diffusion parameters are shown to depend on the moisture content, temperature and moisture equilibrium time.
