33—THE TRANSFER OF MASS AND HEAT TO FIBRES IN FLOWING LIQUIDS

Abstract
The relationship between heat and mass transfer in textile beds is examined by the use of wires of similar dimensions to those of textile fibres. Some qualitative experiments validate this procedure, and hence a general law between the transport and the velocity of fluid passing through the bed is established. At this stage, however, the connexion between structural factors of the bed and the measured transport properties could only be treated in a most elementary manner.
