Dynamic Behaviour of Dyeing Machinery and Computer Simulation – Some Examples

A summary of two studies of different types of well-known dyeing machinery is presented. Logical analysis and experimental studies of fluid flow in wet textile processes give a clear understanding of machine operation. This fundamental information combined with present knowledge of dye-fibre chemistry then allows the operation and control to be simulated in ways not previously possible. Also includes article entitled ‘Control in the Dyehouse’ (JSDC, Vol. 108, March 1992, p. 155)
