Thus, in the last part of the paper we are demonstrated the numerical results of numerical simulation of mechanical thermodiffusion processes applying to the one-dimensional porous layered sample. So, as conclusion to the previous two parts of the paper: 1. The way of applying the spatial averaging method to the description of the diffusion, electrodynamics and mechanical properties of the porous multiphase composite wetted medium was considered; 2. The set of physical interconnected phenomena in porous wetted materials was defined as the mechanical thermo-diffusion phenomena and the mathematical model was proposed to describe the interconnected moistened, electromagnetic and mechanical fields; 3. On the example of a porous layer the closed system of equations was obtained, which connects the heat and mass transfer processes with an internal microwave heat sources induced by external microwave irradiation and mechanical stresses within the framework of the model of the continuous medium. We are aligned the results of our numerical studies with the characteristic critical time values for the microwave drying and compared the diffusion process into internal and external areas of the porous humidified plate. Also, the mechanical stress state was obtained and analyzed for the porous plate during observer drying period for the small strain values under conditions of absence of external loading.
