Abstract
Heat and mass transfer in biporous medium of regular structure near the phase transition point is studied theoretically. Large pores contain ice. Small pores are filled with pure water. The thermal and filtration problems for a separate cell of the medium are solved by the anisotropic conductivity method. Heat and mass flows depend linearly on the gradients of the temperature and the water pressure. The Onsager reciprocal relations are confirmed for systems with phase transformations. With the advent of the solid phase (ice) in porous media, the straight transport coefficients multiply several times, and the cross coefficients increase more than one order of magnitude.
