Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Effects of condensation in clothing on heat transfer

Notes: Sumario: A condensation theory is presented that enables the calculation of the rate of vapour transfer with its associated effects on temperature and total heat transfer inside a clothing ensemble consisting of underclothing, enclosed air, and outer garment. The model is experimentally tested by three experiments. In the cold the condensation mechanism may completely compensate for the lack permeability of the clothing as far as heat dissipation is concerned, but in the heat impermeable clothing is more stressfulRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 38, nº 6, June 1995 ; p. 1114-1131Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Transferencia de calor Ropas Calor Confort térmico Modelos matemáticos Permeabilidad Otros autores: Havenith, George
