Calendaring is an important operation in pulp and paper mill, with an objective to increase the smoothness or reduce the roughness of paper. Bypassing calendering operation in paper machine, paper of desired quality cannot be produced. In the present investigation, a nip mechanics model for supercalendering has been developed by expanding Meijers nip mechanics model up to fourth term, and using this model the effect of additional fourth term and various design and process parameters on results of supercalendering has been discussed using the data taken from paper industry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
