Author(s) : BURCH S. D., RAMADHYANI S., PEARSON J. T.

Summary

PROGRESSIVE REDUCTIONS IN ENGINESIZE IN MODERN AUTOMOBILES HAVE MOTIVATED INTEREST IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MORE EFFICIENT PASSENGER-COMPARTMENT HEATING SYSTEMS TO ENSURE PASSENGER THERMAL COMFORT EVEN IN SEVERE WINTER CONDITIONS. THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF IMPROVED HEATING SYSTEMS ARE FACILITATED BY AN UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN THERMOREGULATORY PROCESSES. THE PAPER PRESENTS A MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF THERMAL INTERACTIONS BETWEEN AN AUTOMOBILE PASSENGER AND THE INTERIOR ENVIRONMENT OF AN AUTOMOBILE.
