A Correlation of the wet-bulb globe temperature and botsball heat stress indexes for industry / Edgar Dernedde

Sumario: In the present study, new heat transfer analyses were made by using established heat and mass transfer coefficients for both heat stress instruments. Calculations of wet-bulb glove temperature (WBGT) and boltsball temperature (BBT) were made over a wide range of conditions simulating different industrial environments. The two heat stress indexes were then correlated by polynomial and multiple regression equations
