This paper is concerned with heat and moisture transport in three-dimensional porous textile media with complex phase change, condensation/evaporation, and absorption. The physical process is described as multiphase and multicomponent (air, vapor, water, and heat) flow governed by a system of nonlinear, degenerate, and strongly coupled parabolic equations. In this paper, we prove global existence of a positive weak solution under the physical assumption that the initial and background temperatures are not higher than about 1000K. © 2012 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
