MODELLING OF HUMAN PERFORMANCE IN HYPERBARIC ENVIRONMENTS.
Author(s) : WISSLER E. H.
Summary
THE PAPER STARTS WITH A BRIEF DISCUSSION OF THE EFFECT OF PRES SURE ON HEAT TRANSFER BETWEEN MAN AND A HYPERBARIC GAS. A MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR HUMAN RESPONSE TO THERMAL STRESS AND EXERCICE IS THEN DESCRIBED IN GENERAL TERMS. FINALLY, 2 APPLICATIONS OF BASIC PRINCIPLES DISCUSSED IN THE FIRST SECTIONS ARE PRESENTED. ONE EXAMPLE INVOLVES ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL IN A WELDING HABITAT AT 3,140 KILOPASCALS, AND THE OTHER CONCERNS EVALUATION OF SURVIVAL SYSTEMS THAT MUST PROVIDE 24-HOUR PROTECTION FOR DIVERS WHO ARE TRAPPED IN AN ISOLATED BELL ON THE OCEAN FLOOR.
