Abstract
The simulation model offered previously to describe the dyeing behavior of rope fabrics, where entanglement of fabrics is assumed to generate unlevel dyeing, was modified and extended.
Entanglement may cause two kinds of unlevelness in the fabrics, namely, the unlevelness of temperature and that of liquor ratio. Although in the previous papers only the effect of temperature unlevelness was investigated, in this paper, fundamental equations were modified considering the liquor ratio change. The following results were obtained.
1) By introducing a “tightness factor”, effects of the change in liquor ratio by entanglement on a rope fabrics can be explained.
2) Degree of dyeing unlevelness is enhanced by liquor ratio change.
3) Even in the final constant-temperature stage, a small degree of unlevelness occurs due to the liquor ratio change.
