Personal thermal management (PTM) technologies, which establish local thermal envelope
around human body instead of cooling/heating the entire building space, have great …

This paper reviews frequently used outdoor thermal comfort indices in hot-humid regions
and neutral thermal ranges to offer guidelines for selecting an appropriate index for hot …

The human body's heat exchange and its interaction with the surrounding environment has
in the past years been the research focus of a number of disciplines. As a result, a number of …

Numerous human thermoregulatory models have been developed and widely used in
various applications such as aerospace, medicine, public health, and physiology research …

The human thermoregulatory system dictates the transfer of heat, produced within organs
and skeletal muscles, through body layers and its dissipation to the environment. With the …

This study presents a complete virtual three-dimensional (3D) model of human
thermophysiological responses by integrating detailed heat dissipation model from human …

Bridging the gap between concepts derived from Second Law of Thermodynamics and their
application to Engineering practice, the property exergy and the exergy balance can be a …

This paper outlines the development of a finite element human thermoregulatory model
using an anatomically and geometrically correct human body model. The finite element body …

Compared to relatively mature audio and video human-machine interfaces, providing
accurate and immersive touch sensation remains a challenge owing to the substantial …

The book begins by describing in detail the mechanisms of energy exchange–radiative,
convective, conductive and evaporative–together with techniques for their determination …
