Abstract
A dynamic model describing the behavior of a multi-cylinder drying section in paper production plants was developed based on the mass and heat balances around drying cylinders. The balance equations consist of sets of differential equations describing heat and mass transfer around the canvas, the web and the drying cylinders. Values of cylinder temperatures and moisture contents were estimated and compared with operation data. To obtain further information for energy consumption, the generation of entropy at each drying cylinder was investigated based on the model developed.
