Drying, as a process of changing the moisture content and temperature of capillary-porous materials, is a necessary step in many technologies. When predicting moisture changes, it is necessary to find a balance between the complexity of a model and the accuracy of the simulation results. The purpose of this work was the development of a mathematical model for drying a capillary-porous material with direct consideration of its initial moisture content and drying temperature. Methods of mathematical modeling were used in the work. Using the developed model, an analysis of the features of the drying process of materials with high and low initial moisture content has been carried out. The analytical relationship for determining the time at which the extremum of the drying rate is reached has been substantiated. A model has been developed to directly take into account the influence of the initial material moisture content and drying temperature. The simulation results are consistent with the experiments on drying ceramic blocks for construction which are described in the literature. The obtained results can be taken into account in studies of the effect of drying modes on the energy consumption of a drying process.
