This paper explains the drying processes for textile and other porous fibrous materials. The various types of heating methods typically employed for drying fibrous materials are described. Procedures for analyzing the drying process by the external approach and by the internal approach are discussed. A review of the most significant published literature in the field of drying of fibrous materials is presented.
