This paper provides a simple tool for estimating the heat of evaporation in the drying process, and it can also be used to estimate the total energy consumption in the drying process, taking the total energy consumption as the goal, an optimal drying curve can be found through the optimization calculation, and then the drying process can be optimized and adjusted. The focus of our next study is the quantitative study of this model applied for optimal operation during paper drying.
