The probability characteristics of surface topography parameters described by the composition of the deterministic component and the homogeneous random normal field were analysed. Formulae for the calculation of the mathematical expectation of the Ras parameter and the evaluation of its variance are given.

A convective drying model is proposed which may be used to describe the drying behavior of leather. Using this model, the calculated transient leather temperature agrees well with experimental values. Variations in temperature and moisture content distribution are solved using the finite-difference method. The effects of operation parameters, such as temperature and humidity in the dryer, initial moisture content of the leather, and heat and mass transfer coefficients are examined using the model.

Airborne dust samples were gathered from the vicinity of various commonly performed processes in the wool-preparation industry. Samples of airborne wool dust were collected on membrane filters during the processing of wool lots. The chemical composition of the inorganic particles present in the total inspirable and respirable dust fractions was determined with the use of a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The widely differing morphologies of the particles collected raise questions about the validity of trying to correlate minor respiratory symptoms with dust concentrations, as some particle types will penetrate the respiratory system more easily than others. The results are discussed with respect to the sampling methodology used.

Increased interest is being shown in infrared drying today because of the environmental and technological advantages offered by this method. In order to assess the advantages of this drying process, extensive trials have been carried out. The objective of this investigation was to study the drying rate of infrared drying. This was achieved with the use of scanning pyrometer and image analysis.
