Occurrence of temperature spikes at a wetting front during spontaneous imbibition

Abstract It is reported that temperature rises at wetting front during water infiltration into soil. The temperature goes back to the background value after passage of water front. Different explanations have been provided for source of energy causing temperature spike. Some have contributed it to h...
