A software for calculation of optimum conditions for cotton, viscose, polyester and wool based yarn bobbins in a hot-air bobbin dryer

Abstract

In this study, a software has been developed to predict the optimum drying conditions of viscose, wool, polyester and cotton based yarn bobbins for drying in a pressurized hot air dryer. For this purpose, firstly, a suitable drying model has been found in defining the drying behavior of bobbins using the experimental drying behavior. After that, additional regression analyses have been made to take into account the effect of the drying parameters on drying. Then, a software has been developed using Visual Basic programming language. With the aid of this software, optimum drying conditions for drying time and energy consumption can be obtained for the cotton, viscose, polyester and wool based yarn bobbins.
