Potential Application of Predictive Tensile Strength Models in Paper Manufacture: Part II - Integration of a Tensile Strength Model with a Dynamic Paper Machine Material Balance Simulation

摘要

A new semi-empirical version of the Page Equation has been developed. The model was found to provide good predictions of the machine direction and cross direction tensile strength of paper produced on the Miami University pilot paper machine. The effects of refining, filler level, cationic starch level, and fiber properties are included in the model. A way to integrate the model with a dynamic material and energy balance simulation of a paper machine is described and potential papermaking applications suggested.
