Examination of Leather Drying with Method of Regular Regime and Generalized Complex Variables

Abstract

A new calculation method for leather drying kinetics is proposed. The results of examination of leather drying with method of regular regime of raw bodies heating on the basis of complex generalized variables are presented. Experimental data processing for determining of drying ratio is developed which allows for determining the drying period. The formula validity is verified and the benchmark analysis of experimental data and calculated ones is performed applying the formulae.
