Solution:

5. A sizing machine is running at 150 m/min with 6000 ends. The addon requirement is 12% and
concentration of the size paste is 18%. If yarn count is 20 tex (without any moisture) and residual
moisture content in the sized yarn and film after drying is 10%, then calculate the number of drying
