Abstract
ABSTRACT A mathematical model simulating the heat and mass transfer process during high intensity drying of paper and board has been developed. The model is successful in predicting the vapor pressure developments, pressure driven bulk flow of liquid and vapor, and increased drying rates during high-intensity drying, closely matching the experimental determination. The model predicts substantial amounts of water removal in the liquid form during high-intensity drying being pushed out of the web by pressurized vapor zone. Water removal by pressure flow of liquid could account for as much as one-third of the total water removed. Similar to drying under conventional conditions, the existence of a dry zone, wet zone and an intermediate zone with accompanying advancing heat pipe has also been shown for drying under high intensity conditions.
