Absorption of infrared radiation and the radiation transfer mechanism in paper. Part II: Application to infrared dryers.
A comparison of the absorption in paper of radiation from different IR sources has been made based on a theoretical model. As a first approach, blackbody spectra at 1300 K and 2500 K were compared. The radiation from the body at 1300 K is more readily absorbed by the paper There is, however only a small difference in the in-depth absorption when the intensities are adjusted to give the same amount
