MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESS OF COTON-CONTAINING FABRIC DECOCTION
Flax is a very valuable raw material for making fabric. The processes of preparation of flax-containing textile material are multi-stage and energy-intensive. Therefore, the development of effective methods of preparation of flax-containing textile material is relevant. In this work, the method of mathematical planning of the experiment conducted a study of the dependence of the breaking load, capillarity and the degree of whiteness of cotton-containing textile material on the concentration of components of the boiling bath. The research was carried out on a mixed polyester-cotton-linen fabric TPK-11 produced by the private joint-stock company “Edelvika” (Lutsk). Technological process of boiling was carried out periodic method on a painting- roller machine. After boiling, the tissue samples were bleached according to the recipe based on hydrogen peroxide under the same conditions. Evaluation of the quality of boiled fabric was performed on such indicators as capillarity, breaking load and degree of whiteness. Processing of research results was carried out in the program “MathCAD 15”. At the result regression equations and response surfaces was received. The analysis of the obtained results shows that the quality of preparation of mixed flax-containing fabric depends on the concentration of the components of the boiling bath, and these models allow to establish the optimal recipe regimes of the boiling process. The obtained data can be used to justify further research.
