Abstract: Models of soil water transport often calculate conductivity

Abstract: Competing theories used to describe coupled transport of heat and water in soil are irreversible thermodynamics (IT) and the Philip–de Vries (PD) theory. In practice, PD has dominated the field and advanced understanding ...

Abstract: Two energy balance equations widely used to describe simultaneous transfer of heat and mass in porous media are inconsistent with control volume energy conservation. Potential energy, enthalpy, and internal energy terms ...

Abstract: Heat and volatile liquid transport in soils are physically coupled processes. Soil water movement driven by thermal gradients has received considerable attention both experimentally and via models. This is appropriate since ...

Abstract: Agricultural and natural N cycling systems have been intensively studied via the stable isotope
