Abstract:
      An integrated dynamic heat and moisture transfer model of human-clothing system is applied to investigate the influence of clothing on human thermal balance.Evaporation/condensation,moisture sorption /desorption,liquid sweat transfer under capillary pressure are considered in the clothing model.And sweat accumulation on the skin is considered in the improved 25-node human thermal regulation model.Meanwhile,a flow chart of the simulation program is provided.Compared prediction results with the experimental data,the proposed model seems to be well studied for predicting dynamic heat and moisture transfer between human and clothing.The simulation results can provide the theoretical insights on the functional design of clothing.
