This article focuses on studying the effects of muscle and fat percentages on the exergy
behavior of the human body under several environmental conditions. The main objective is …

This paper's objective is to describe the relation between exergy analysis, human body
constitution and thermal comfort indicators. The human body was assumed to be a cylinder …

Exergy analysis is applied to assess the quality of the energy conversion processes that take
place in the human body, aiming at developing indicators of thermal comfort based on the …

Traditional methods of human thermal comfort are based on the first law of thermodynamics.
These methods use an energy balance of the human body to determine heat transfer …

The main similarity among the human physiology models is the application of energy
balance concepts and the use of energy and mass exchange mechanisms. In this paper a …

Exergy analysis enables us to make connections among processes inside the human body
and processes in a building. So far, only the effect of different combinations of air …

Second Law of Thermodynamics has been applied in the past decade to human body as a
tool to provide indicators of health, performance and thermal comfort. Moreover, this kind of …

Over the past decades, thermodynamics concepts applied to biological systems, such as the
human body, have aided in explaining their functioning. The first law of thermodynamics is …

Traditional methods of human thermal comfort analysis are based on the first law of
thermodynamics. These methods use an energy balance of the human body to determine …

Some authors have been applying the exergy analysis to thermal comfort, where the
environmental conditions for minimal exergy destruction are claimed to correspond to …
