A study of cotton fiber movement in pneumomechanical spinning machine adapter

Abstract

In this article, the possibility of controlling the movement of fibers inside the tube in a certain process by changing the dimensions of the tube of the pneumomechanical spinning machine confusor was determined. As a result of processing the experimental data, taking into account the deformation of the belt element, a formula was obtained that clearly expresses the increase in the drag force with the increase in the values of the airflow speed. Also, to improve the level of straightening of the fibers during the flow in the tube, the optimal values of the air speed along the OX axis of the fibers in the conical tube, the surface value of the outlet part of the tube, the slope angle, and the air resistance coefficient were determined.
