A MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR A YANKEE HOOD

ABSTRACTDrying of thin paper sheet on a Yankee cylinder equipped with a steam heated high velocity hood is examined. When possible infiltration of air from the surroundings is considered, then the process is fully determined by twelve variables. One of these can be chosen as an independent variable. An equation group of eleven equations is derived. The method of solution is iterative. Finally, a numerical demonstration example is presented.
