Investigation of the effect of drying air temperature on drying time by numerical method for textile bobbins

Abstract

Drying of the yarn bobbins in the textile sector is a very important stage among the textile finishing processes. Because this process takes a lot of time and causes a large amount of energy consumption. In this study, drying times for different drying air inlet temperatures at a constant drying air pressure were determined with the help of mathematical model for textile bobbin drying process. Finite difference method was used in mathematical model solution and the effect of different space and time steps were taken into consideration during the solution. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
