The Optimum diameter for a globe thermometer for use indoors / M.A. Humphreys

Sumario: By applying currently recommended formulae for the heat transfer from spheres and comparing results with up-to-date information about human response to air temperature and mean radiant temperature, it is shown that the optimum diameter for a globe thermometer, when used as an index of subjective warmth for people in buildings, is approximately 40 mm. The practical performance of such a globe thermometer is described
