Claims

C1strongest claim

Given a specific fabric, the developed model allows to predict the drying time and the residual moisture content. The model is validated using real world data provided by a major Italian textile company.

C2weakest assumption

The heat and mass transfer processes in the fabric can be adequately captured by the chosen differential equations with a small set of constant parameters that remain valid across the operating range, and that nonlinear least squares fitting on the available data yields values that generalize beyond the fitting set.

C3one line summary

A heat and mass transfer model for fabric drying with heated cylinders predicts drying time and residual moisture after fitting parameters to industrial data.
