Conductive-convective drying installations: Problems and calculation

We present a procedure to calculate multicylinder conductive-convective drying installations and equations to determine the temperatures of a paper strip when on cylinders and off them. Dependences are obtained to calculate the intensities of moisture evaporation and reduction of the moisture content of fibrous woodpulp paper materials over corresponding portions, as well as a formula to calculate the relationship between evaporated moisture on cylinders and off them in the “on a drying cylinder-off a drying cylinder” cycles.
