This paper is devoted to the study of the homogenization of a porous medium, composed of different materials arranged in a periodic structure. This provides the profile of the saturation function for the limit material.
A mathematical model of heat and mass transport in non-isothermal partially saturated oil-wax solution was formulated by A. Fasano and M. Primicerio [1]. This paper is devoted to the study of a one-dimensional problem in the framework of that model. The existence of classical solutions in a small time interval is proved, based on the application of a fixed-point theorem to the constructed operator. The technique employed is close to the one of [3] and [4].
