Abstract: | The drying process of crude cotton fabric is analyzed under two main aspects: analysis of moisture distribution inside the textile sheet, and analysis of certain operational convective drying process variables. Experimental apparatus consisted of a drying chamber in which samples of pure cotton textile were suspended inside the drying chamber and exposed to a convective hot air flow. The influence of the operational variables on the drying process behavior was studied by two different ways with generalized drying curves. The behavior of moisture distribution profiles was compared to average moisture content of the textile fabric verifying whether average values were able to represent the textile moisture content during the drying process. |
