Influence of uncertainty in heat-moisture transport properties on convective drying of porous materials by numerical modelling

► Propagation of uncertainties in heat-moisture transport properties is investigated. ► Parameter analysis based on the Monte Carlo method is applied. ► Numerical modelling of convective drying of two porous materials is considered. ► Transport-property uncertainties can lead to large differences in drying behaviour. ► Differences in drying time, with respect to its mean value, up to 200% are found.
