Abstract
Purpose
To develop a mathematical model of the heat transfer from human body to environmental air that will be numerically solved by a personal computer.
Design/methodology/approach
Development of the heat transfer model for the system man – clothing – environment is based on studying all forms of dry heat transfer (radiation, convection and conduction).
Findings
The advantage of the model for heat transfer is the ability of the fast evaluation of heat transfer for various textile materials incorporated into the clothing system under different ambient conditions.
Originality/value
Modelling the heat transfer is original and has an important contribution to thermal comfort.
