Basic material data diffusion resistance factor dry

Post by Raymond »

Hi,

In the help / Basic Material data / diffusion resistance factor dry

It is said that when w=wmax (capillaries clogged) there is no vapor transport thus mu=0

Or mu is defined to represent how much the diffusion resistance factor is higher than that of a stagnant air. (diffusion resistance of material / diffusion resistance of air)

I don't understand why mu is equal to 0 instead of being infinite.

Could you help me please.
Thanking you by advance.
Greetings.

Dear Ramond,

sorry there is a bug in the Help system, Topic 13:

The sentence:
WUFI will reduce it in proportion to the moisture excess over wf, until it reaches µ=0 at wmax
Must be:
WUFI will increase it in proportion to the moisture excess over wf, until it reaches µ=infinite at wmax
Will be corrected in the upcoming Releases/Patches.
