The wearing comfort of socks can be affected by the fabric properties of liquid moisture management. The present study aims to investigate the relationship between the fabric parameters and moisture management of sock fabrics. The moisture management of socks fabric was measured by the moisture management tester according to AATCC 195-2012. It was found that the cotton sock fabrics were waterproof before washing. This may be due to hydrophobic treatment. The cotton material seems not to be suitable for moisture transfer.

Engineered yarns are used to provide better clothing comfort for summer garments because of their high levels of moisture and water vapor management. The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics of knitted structures that were produced using different types of polyester yarns in order to achieve better thermal comfort properties for summer clothing. However they are relatively expensive. Therefore, in this study engineered polyester yarns were combined with cotton and lyocell yarns by plying. This way, the pronounced characteristics of these yarns were added to the knitted structure as well. Channeled polyester, hollow polyester, channeled/hollow blended polyester, cotton, and lyocell yarns were plied with each other and themselves. Then, single jersey structures were knitted using these ply yarn combinations and air permeability, thermal resistance, thermal absorptivity, water vapor permeability, moisture management, and drying properties were tested. The results indicate that channeled PES fabrics are advantageous for hot climates and high physical activities with regards to high permeability and moisture transfer and also to fast drying properties. Besides, air permeability and thermal properties improved through the combination of lyocell yarn with engineered polyester yarns. However, the use of lyocell or cotton with engineered yarns resulted in a to a decrease in moisture management properties and an increase in drying times

The main content in the paper aims to characterize the moisture transfer property of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)/polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bi-layer complex fabric. Firstly, theoretical analyses of moisture permeability from the moisture transfer cup method and moisture resistance from the moisture resistance method were conducted, and the function between the two indexes was acquired. Results show that there is a negative correlation between moisture permeability and moisture resistance. The higher the moisture permeability of the fabric, the lower the moisture resistance. Then, in order to study relationship between moisture permeability and resistance, several PTFE/PET bi-layer complex fabrics were prepared, and a theoretical model of moisture resistance was constructed by the serial method so as to evaluate the relationship of the moisture transfer property between complex fabric and two components (PTFE film and PET fabric). Comparisons between theoretical and experimental results of moisture resistance of complex fabric were conducted, which demonstrated that the serial model was effective in characterizing the moisture transfer property of complex fabric assembled by membrane and fabric.

The highest yield of agricultural crops is achieved with the optimal amount of moisture, nutrition, heat, air and light. In this case, the necessary water regime for agricultural crops is created by the appropriate irrigation regime, which establishes the norms, timing and number of irrigation, depending on the biological characteristics of crops, natural and economic conditions. In determining the flow of water to irrigation take into account water consumption or total evaporation, which depends on climatic conditions, the amount of thermal energy that enters the surface, soil moisture, species and yield of the crop. Therefore, the issues of adaptation and self-studying of automated systems for controlling soil moisture in the conditions of the action of random weather factors, changes in the characteristics of the control object, improving the accuracy of control due to the operational consideration of the perturbations of the object, ensuring the receipt of planned yields of agricultural crops for the rational use of energy and water resources. In addition, modern water management systems for crops should not only provide sufficient management accuracy, but also forecast the need for plants in water for a certain period, minimize energy and water costs without loss of crop, be reliable and easy to operate, provide the operator with complete and timely information the value of all parameters and the state of the control system. A comprehensive solution to these problems is possible only through the development of modern technical means of automation, new mathematical models of moisture transfer in the unsaturated zone of soil and methods of managing moisture content of agricultural crops. Thus, the development of methods for automated management of moisture content of agricultural crops, taking into account perturbations, is an actual scientific and practical task. To solve these problems, the approach to automating the management of irrigation systems with the use of fuzzy logic is considered. The power and intuitive simplicity of fuzzy logic as a solution to problems ensures its successful application in information monitoring and analysis systems. At the same time there is a connection of human intuition and operator experience. The offered approach allows to improve the accuracy of soil moisture management, to ensure that planned crops are harvested, and to save water and energy resources at the expense of their rational use.

Abstract. The thesis focuses on how to get the mathematical model of mass transfer under some certain simplified conditions and how to gain the moisture content of materials under drying. In this process, authors utilized phenomenological equations of heat and moisture transfer and analyzed the relationship and cross effects between force and flow, which were about various kinds of heat and mass transfer. In addition, the authors also used computer simulation in drying process. The result of the study is that drying rate depends on the speed of the internal moisture migration. The conclusions of this thesis have great significance for selecting the dryer and in the actual production.

Moisture transfer properties in fabric are critical to determine the thermal and sensorial comfort. Cotton fabric possesses many desirable characteristics that contribute to clothing comfort. However, in hot and wet environment or during some activities that human perspiration occurs, high absorbency of cotton makes its use undesirable. In this study, a chemical finishing method is developed to increase liquid moisture transfer properties on cotton fabric or clothing. The moisture management properties of the finished fabric or clothing were evaluated by using moisture management tester. Further wear trials were conducted to verify the comfort feeling toward finished area and unfinished area, which showed that this technique can effectively improve the overall comfort sensation especially during prolonged perspiration.

The relationship between the unique internal structure of biomimic woven fabric and its moisture management property is investigated using fractal derivative method. The biomimic fabric exhibits a fractal hierarchic inner structure, and its fractal hierarchy can be further extended by fleece finishing treatment on both surfaces of the fabric. Fractal derivative analysis indicates that the fuzzy biomimic fabric with a higher hierarchic construction after fleece finishing performs better in moisture permeability, and the result was proved by experimental tests.

Statics of drying is based on the laws of interaction between the gas medium and the dehydration facility, which seek a thermodynamically equilibrium state. Jackfruit is a wet thermolabile material. With a static equilibrium between the product and the environment, the water content in a hygroscopic state depends on the type of the product, its energy, humidity, and a number of parameters, e.g. temperature and partial pressure of the vapor on the surface. The paper introduces graphical dependences of the activity of water of jackfruit slices on humidity at various ambient temperatures. The authors also give its analogy in semilogarithmic coordinates. It helped to define a range of humidity that determined the type of connection between the moisture of the object and the dry residue. The laws of the mechanism of heat and mass transfer are relevant in determining the dynamics of the dehydration process. Their study can help to intensify the process of moisture removal with rational operating parameters. The present study featured the equilibrium states in the system, which made it possible to find the driving force of moisture transfer and to evaluate the heat carrier potential, as well as to substantiate the values of the parameters and the environment during storage and transportation of the finished dry product. The value of relative moisture content in equilibrium was determined by isothermal sorption curves. The value depends on the pre-treatment of the drying object, the conditions of its contact with the external environment, as well as by the energy and type of relationship between the dry residue and the moisture. The empirical results were arranged in the form of graphical dependences, which made it possible to theoretically obtain their mathematical approximation. The equations of dependence between the equilibrium moisture content of the material and the relative humidity of the vapor-air medium included a lot of constants, which also needed to be determined empirically. The mathematical dependences approximate the isothermal sorption curves, i.e. the relationship between the product’s moisture and water activity indices. The dependences can be used to conduct a thermodynamic analysis of the sorption process and determine the free, bound, and internal energies of the process of moisture absorption by the capillary-porous object of study. The hygroscopic examination of jackfruit is also necessary when making design decisions for the rational implementation of technological operations, including the storage and transportation of dry jackfruit slices.

Moisture management is defined as the controlled movement of water vapour and liquid water (perspiration) from the surface of the skin to the atmosphere through the fabric. The ability of moisture transport is a very important feature of textile materials from the point of view of the physiological comfort of usage clothing made of these materials. Among the different textile materials (woven, knitted and nonwoven), seersucker woven fabric is considered as having good comfort-related properties. The fabrics are characterised by the occurrence of puckered and flat strips in the warp direction. The puckered effect generates air spaces between the body and the fabric, keeping the wearer cool in hot conditions as the puckered area holds the fabric away from the skin during usage. In the work presented, seersucker woven fabrics of different patterns of the puckered strips were investigated. The aim of the work was to analyse the relationship between the structure of seersucker fabrics and their moisture management properties. Measurement of the moisture transport properties of seersucker woven fabrics was made using a Moisture Management Tester M290, produced by SDL Atlas. Investigations performed showed that the properties of seersucker woven fabrics characterising their ability to transfer liquid moisture are different depending on the variant of the repeat of puckered strips.

Building envelope is a typical porous medium. The internal accumulation of moisture will not only affect the structural strength, but also cause the growth of bacterial in the structure, which can seriously affect the indoor air quality. In this work, the modified Luikov coupled heat and moisture transfer equation is derived by using finite difference method. A FORTRAN computer code is developed based on the supplied experiment conditions. The effect of various parameters (include temperature gradient, sorption isotherm, specific humidity etc.) on the coupled heat and moisture transfer and the relationship between the temperature gradient and the moisture gradient are discussed. The results show that the simulation results agree well with the experimental data.
