    1. The study examined the principles of heat and mass transfer during natural clothes drying. 2. It was concluded that the mass transfer coefficient does not depend on fabric color unlike the heat transfer coefficient, drying is faster at lower relative humidity, and drying time decreases significantly with increasing temperature. 3. The study could be improved by incorporating forced convection and modeling drying rates as falling rather than constant over time.

    Examining the principles of heat and mass transfer in

    Natural drying of clothes


    CONCLUSIONS
    1. The mass transfer coefficient has no dependence on the colour of the fabric
    unlike the heat transfer coefficient.
    2. The lesser the relative humidity of the surroundings, the faster it helps in
    drying the clothes.
    3. With the increase in the temperature of the surroundings, the time taken for
    the clothes to dry is considerably reduced.
    4. The variation in the rate of drying is not appreciable due to the colour
    change as the effect of radiation heat transfer can be neglected.
    IMPROVEMENTS
    1. This experiment can be extended to include forced convection as well.
    2. Instead of just using constant rate of drying, falling rates can be
    incorporated in the drying curve.

    AIM
    The prime objective of this poster was to analyze the effect of
    drying process at different temperatures varying the relative
    humidity and the change in the value of the mass transfer
    coefficient due the variation the relative humidity and also
    effect of absorptivity of different colors on the rate of drying.
    CALCULATIONS
    Assumptions: Constant rate of drying and natural convection on a vertical surface.
    Area and effective length of the fabric is 1.5m
    2
    and 0.71m respectively. The weight of
    the dry fabric is 150 gm and it is assumed to be completely saturated with the liquid.
    (assumed to be at wet bulb temperature).
    Let the temperature of the surroundings be T
    G
    and the relative humidity of the air be x
    %. These data can be accessed from the weather report of the area. Then the moisture
    content of the air can be calculated, Y
    S
    . The temperature of the wet cloth would be
    assumed to be equal to the wet bulb temperature of T
    G
    , i.e. T
    S
    . Moisture content at the
    temperature T
    S
    is Y.
    Amount of heat transferred, Q = heat due to convection + heat due to radiation.
    Therefore, Q = h

    Let h

    q = (h
    C
    + h
    R
    ) (T
    G
    -T
    S
    ). Also, let H = (h
    C
    + h
    R
    )
    q = H (T
    G
    -T
    S
    ) (i)
    The value of h
    C
    can be calculated using Dittus-Boelter/ Sieder-Tate relations by
    computing the values of Reynolds number and Prandtl number of ambient air.
    Rate of mass transfer, N
    C
    = K
    Y
    (Y
    S
    - Y) (ii)
    Equating heat and mass transfer, from equations (i) and (ii), we have,
    N
    C
    = q/ . Therefore,
    K
    Y
    =
    H(TGT
    S
    )
    (YS Y)
    .
    Hence the mass transfer coefficient of the material can be found out.
    For the calculation of h
    C
    , the following equation is used:

    INTRODUCTION
    Fabrics are usually dried up for the purposes of storing or setting. Using thermal
    energy to dry up and perform setting has been the most traditional and effective
    method. In this study, heated air is used as a processing agent. Its physical
    properties will be changed when it gains moisture and loses thermal energy. The
    moisture in the fabric will be heated to form vapors after gaining energy from the air
    at higher temperature to initiate a mass transfer process.
