Based on Luikov’s set of differential equations, the coupled heat and mass transfer duringthe drying of a capillary porous sheet is investigated. The influences of heat transfer on themass flux distribution are illustrated by numerical examples. And the drying characteristicsof the different heating methods are presented.
