Examination of kinetics of natural leathers convective drying

The article presents results of the study of convective drying of various types of natural leather using the theory of regular mode. The results of calculating the densities of heat fluxes and medium integral temperatures are discussed. Approximate equations are derived for calculating the drying kinetics in the period of the incident velocity. The possibility of applying the results of analytical solutions of the heat transfer equations in the calculations of drying kinetics is considered.
