Abstract

In this article, the influence of the relative air velocity and temperature on the moisture transfer rate for raw cotton is studied. At relative air velocities varying from 0.05-0.6 m/s using a laboratory setup and different temperatures of the drying agent and humidity of raw cotton, the dependences characterizing the process of moisture sampling and desorption (drying) of raw cotton, as well as the diffusion process occurring inside the sample, are obtained.
