HEAT FLOW CHARACTERISTICS OF SINGLE AND MULTIPLE LAYER FABRICS.

Author(s) : GRISE K. S., GOSWAMI B. C., HASSENBOEHLER C. B. Jr

Summary

HEAT TRANSFER EXPERIMENTS WERE CONDUCTED ON APPAREL FABRICS TO ASCERTAIN THE EFFECTS OF FABRIC CHARACTERISTICS AND SPATIAL CONFIGURATIONS ON THERMAL COMFORT. RESULTS OF THE STUDY INDICATE THAT THE LAYERING OF THE FABRICS IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT FACTOR ; INSULATION INCREASES WITH AN INCREASE IN AIRSPACE. THE TEMPERATURE-RELATIVE HUMIDITY DIFFERENTIAL WAS ALSO A SIGNIFICANT FACTOR. FABRIC THICKNESS WAS FOUND TO BE THE ONLY STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT PHYSICAL PROPERTY UNDER THE PRESCRIBED CONDITIONS.
