Use of Regression Models to Study Silk Reeling

Abstract:

The Quality of Silk Yarn Is Affected by the Reeling Process. the Silk Reeling Process Is Affected by Several Factors which Include the Reeling Temperature and Silk Cocoon Boiling Time. the Aim of this Paper Was to Investigate the Effect of Reeling Temperature and Cocoon Boiling on the Silk Filament Strength and Frequency of End Breaks during Reeling by Using Regression Models. the Results of this Research Work Indicated that Boiling Time and Reeling Temperature Were Positively Correlated with Filament Strength. on the other Hand the Number of End Breaks Increased with Boiling Time. as Reeling Temperature Increased the Number of End Breaks Showed a Decreasing Trend.
