Coupled heat and mass transport material model - HeMotk

Coupled heat and mass transfer material model. Source: T. Krejci doctoral thesis; [Bazant:72]; Pedersen, 1990. Assumptions: water vapor is the only driving mechanism; relative humidity is from range 0.2 - 0.98 (I and II regions). The model parameters are summarized in Table 66.
