Abstract: In this work, the drying behavior of cotton bobbins for different bobbin diameters and drying air pressures at a constant drying air temperature was simulated by empirical and semi-empirical drying models available in the literature. For this purpose experimental drying behavior of cotton bobbins was determined on an experimental bobbin dryer setup which was designed and manufactured based on hot-air bobbin dryers used in textile industry. Then, drying models considered were fitted to the experimental data. The fit was performed by selecting the values for constants in the models in such a way that these values make the sum of the squared differences between the experimental and the model results for moisture ratio minimum. Suitability of fitting was specified as comparing the root of mean squared error (RMSE). The results show that the most appropriate model in describing the drying curves of cotton bobbins is the Page model. The results also show that both the bobbin diameter and the drying air pressure have significant effects on drying.
