Just what makes you think sci.engr.heat-vent-ac is interested or the
appropriate place to discuss clothes drying?

Where ELSE would we discuss this question? :-)

Alt.clothes, alt.clothing for starters. They probably already know what
it takes. However as anal as you are you want to continue to reinvent
the wheel. I suspect since you didn't really understand it the first
time.



It's a matter of basic HVAC science and engineering. Chapter 28 of the
ASHRAE Applications handbook is all about drying, drying times, and so on.
The SCI.ENGR.heat-vent-ac group should eagerly welcome such basic
questions.

...There isn't a single mention of clothes or dryer in the 2000 version.
And as far as I can tell. Except for venting of a clothes dryer, there
is absolutely nothing on "drying, drying times, and so on" of clothes in
ASHRAE books anywhere.

My 1991 Applications book has drying hygrometry and drying time calcs
on pages 28.1 and 28.2...

Care to explain that?

Chapter 28 applies to all kinds of drying, as we can see from some of
the references, eg

Bell, J. R., and P. Grosberg. 1962. The movement of vapor and moisture
during the falling rate period of drying of thick textile materials.
Journal of the Textile Institute, Transactions 53(5):T250; ABIPC 33: 72, and

Nissan, AH. 1968. Drying of sheet materials. Textile Research Journal
38:447.

Now then, got any answers?

Clothes drying references? Where are they? Lying isn't nice. I concede
it is a liberal thing to do though.
Try using references within the last ten years ok? Technology changes.
We don't discuss Sulphur Dioxide here much either.
