Abstract
A method for removing the moisture adhered to surfaces of bodies and simultaneously for adjusting the surface temperature of the bodies to a predetermined value, in which air or steam having a temperature within the range of .+-.10 degrees centigrade of the surface temperature to be reached is streamed along the surface of the body, wherein an average velocity of stream of the air or steam is as follows: ##EQU1## wherein v.sub.1 is the average velocity of stream of the air or steam, PA1 g is the gravitational acceleration (g=9.81 m/s.sup.2), PA1 t.sub.v is the dynamic viscosity of the moisture in the state of its removal, PA1 G.sub.1 is the specific weight of the air or steam in the state or removal of the moisture, PA1 v.sub.v1 is the velocity of stream of the moisture at radius R.sub.1, PA1 R.sub.b is the hydraulic radius of the moistened surface, PA1 R.sub.1 is the hydraulic radius of the interface of the moisture and the air or steam, PA1 f.sub.1 is the degree of saturation of the air or steam, PA1 c is ##EQU2## wherein 0.0015<k<3 and k is the modified resistance coefficient.
