THERMOPHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSE OF HUMAN BODY IN NON-STEADY STATE CONSIDERING INFLUENCE OF TRANSFER AND STORAGE OF HEAT AND MOISTURE IN AND AROUND CLOTHING : Subject experiment and analysis by two-node model

A subject experiment was conducted to measure the transient response of a clothed human body during sweating and its evaporation. The result of the experiment was analyzed by a combined model, which consists of the two-node model for thermophysiological response of human body and the simultaneous heat and moisture transfer model for hygrothermal behavior of clothing. In that model, the heat and moisture transfer through the air layer between the skin and the clothing are expressed as heat and moisture conductances, respectively. The conductances along with the other parameters related to the heat andmoisture transfer in and a round the clothing were determined to show an agreement with the subject experiment.
