A Study of the Fibre-transfer-channel Design in Rotor-spinning. Part II: Optimization of the Transfer-channel Design

Abstract

Empirical equations are determined that mathematically model the design of a fibre-transfer channel with a rectangular cross-section. These equations are used to find the optimum geometric-design parameters of the channel. Analysis of high-speed photographic observations indicates the optimum design to give a threefold improvement in the straightening of fibres when compared with a commonly used commercial design.
