Heat and Moisture Transfer through Clothing
The UC Berkeley Comfort Model is a helpful simulation tool for the assessment of thermal comfort in non-uniform environments. A major element of the model is the implementation of a clothing node, which considers both heat and moisture capacitance of clothing. Heat capacity of the clothing has been demonstrated to be important when considering transient effects. Moisture capacitance is importan...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Thermal Comfort Properties and Heat Protection Performance of Cotton/Nylon-Kermel Fabrics
In this research, fire and radiant heat protection and thermal comfort properties of cotton/nylon-Kermel blended woven fabrics, were utilized to predict the thermal comfort and protection limit of this fabric structure based on Woo and Barker developed model. The results showed that the porosity, the air permeability and the thermal resistance increased with Kermel fiber blend ratio. Conversely...
متن کاملInfluence of localized auxiliary heating on hand comfort during cold exposure.
There is a need for a hand-heating system that will keep the hands warm during cold exposure without hampering finger dexterity. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of torso heating on the vasodilative responses and comfort levels of cooled extremities during a 3-h exposure to -15 degreesC air. Subjects were insulated, but their upper extremities were left exposed to the cold a...
متن کاملInvestigation on Some Ergonomics and Psychological Strains of Common Militarism Protective Clothing
Protective clothing limits heat transfer and hampers task performance due to the increased weight. Militarism protective clothing enables humans to operate in adverse environments. In the selection and evaluation of militarism protective clothing attention should be given to heat strain, ergonomic and fit issues next to the actual protection it offers. Fifty Male healthy subjects participated i...
متن کاملThermal Problems in Hyperbaric Environments
This paper reviews thermal problems in hyperbaric environments and provides information how to estimate thermal comfort zones in hyperbaric environments. Divers are exposed to hyperbaric helium-oxygen atmospheres when engaged in saturation diving operations. However, some difficulties to control thermal environments arise from the extremely high thermal conductivity of helium used as a breathin...
