Abstract
In this study, isothermal and non-isothermal drying experiments with imposed constant temperature gradients h network of borosilicate glass (SiO2)with interconnected etched channels. In experiments with temperature decreasing from the open surface of the pore network, a travelling stabilized gas-liquid region could be established, while in isothermal experiments with uniform temperature faster breakthrough and an extended two-phase zone were observed. Both findings are in good agreement with pore network simulations. However, numerical underestimation of drying rates (especially in the second period of drying) indicates that liquid films might play a major role in the experimental pore networks, even in the presence of thermal gradients.
