Comparative Analysis of the Kinetics of Drying of Disperse Polymers Using Mathematical Models

A comparative analysis of the kinetics showed that the duration of drying anid from beginning to acceptable moisture content is less than for polycaproamide; for example, in conditions of drying in a nitrogen current with a temperature of 140°C and rate of movement of 0.3 m/sec, the drying time for anid is approximately 28% less. As a consequence, for the same efficiency, the dryer for anid can have smaller geometric dimensions than the dryer for polycaproamide with all other conditions being equal.
