    Modulated air layer heat amd moisture transport by ventilation and diffusion from clothing with open aperture

    No full text
    A two-dimensional model is developed for the modulated internal airflow, due to walking, in the gap between clothing and skin surface in the presence of clothing apertures. The normal airflow renewing the air layer through the fabric is modeled using the Ghali et al. three-node fabric ventilation model with corrected heat and moisture transport coefficients within the fabric voids to include the diffusion-dominated transport processes in the fabric at low normal flow rates that occur near the open aperture. The parallel flow is induced by a periodic pressure difference between environmental pressure at the aperture of the clothing system and trapped air layer pressure. The parallel flow in the trapped air layer is assumed to be locally governed by the Womersley solution of time-periodic laminar flow in a plane channel. The two-dimensional (2D) model that uses, in the parallel direction, the Womersley flow of the trapped air layer has predicted significantly lower flow rates than a model based on an inertia-free quasi-steady Poisueille flow model (valid only at low ventilation frequencies). In addition, the model predicted lower sensible and latent heat losses from the sweating skin in the presence of open apertures in the clothing system. The percentage drop in total heat loss due to open aperture is 7.52percent, and 2.63percent, at ventilation frequencies of 25, and 35 revolution per minute, respectively. The reported results showed that under walking conditions, a permeable clothing system with an open aperture reduced heat loss from the skin when compared to a normal ventilation model (closed aperture). These results were consistent with previously published empirical data of Lotens and Danielsson on air layer resistance for open and closed apertures in high air permeable fabrics.

    Ventilation rates of micro-climate air annulus of the clothing-skin system under periodic motion

    No full text
    A novel three-dimensional dynamic model is developed from first principles of mass and energy conservation of the modulated internal airflow in the variable annulus size between the clothing and the skin surface in presence of clothing apertures. The developed model solves for the flow and heat transfer problem in a finite length cylindrical annulus where the inner cylinder is oscillating within an outer fixed cylinder of porous fabric boundary. The changing annulus size induces pressure variations that cause air flow in the angular and the radial directions. In addition, axial airflow is present due to clothing open aperture to the atmosphere at one end of the annulus (sleeve or neck opening). The axial and angular flows in the trapped air layer are assumed locally governed by Womersley solution of time-periodic laminar flow in a plane channel in each direction. The 3-D model predicted the ventilation radial airflow through the fabric, the angular and axial airflow induced by the motion of the inner cylinder, and the sensible and latent heat losses from the skin due to ventilation with the presence of an open or closed aperture. Experiments were conducted using tracer gas method to measure time and space-averaged air ventilation rates induced by inner cylinder periodic motion within a fabric cylindrical sleeve at spacing amplitude ratio with respect to the mean of 0.8 for both closed and open aperture cases. The ventilation rates within the annulus predicted by the 3-D model agreed well with experimental data at higher frequencies. For closed aperture situation at an amplitude ratio of 0.8, the mean percentage errors of the measurements compared with the predicted values of the model were 52percent, 27.5percent and 6.7percent corresponding to the frequencies of 30 rpm, 40 rpm, and 60 rpm, respectively. Measured ventilation rates for open aperture agreed well with predicted ventilation rates at high frequencies giving lower values of total air renewal than the closed aperture results where the measured reductions in total ventilation rate compared to closed aperture were 8.5percent and 14.3percent corresponding to the frequencies of 40 rpm and 60 rpm, respectively. In addition, the model results showed that under walking conditions, a permeable clothing system with an open aperture reduced the heat loss from the skin by less than 1percent when compared to the closed aperture clothing system. These results are consistent with previously published empirical data on air layer resistance for open and closed aperture of high air permeable fabric. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

    Simplified heat transport model of a wind-permeable clothed cylinder subject to swinging motion

    No full text
    The effect of ventilation induced by the swinging motion of a clothed cylinder in uniform wind derived from Ghaddar et al.'s periodic ventilation model is incorporated into Lotens' simple heat resistance network model to predict the mean steady periodic heat loss from the clothed cylinder. Experiments are conducted to measure the sensible heat loss from the inner cylinder for the case of a swinging inner cylinder enclosed within a clothed cylinder at different frequencies of motion and for open and closed clothing apertures at the one end of the clothed cylinder. The heat model predictions of time-averaged steady-periodic sensible heat loss agree well with the experimentally measured values at different swing frequencies between 40 and 80 rpm from experiments conducted in a controlled environmental chamber at T∞ = 25°C and relative humidity (RH) = 50percent (air velocity is less than 0.05 m-s) and in a low-speed wind tunnel (for air speed between 2 and 4 m-s). The model results showed that the rate of heat loss increased with increased ventilation frequency. Heat transfer by ventilation presented more than 50percent of total heat loss from a clothed cylinder at f = 80 rpm in the absence and presence of wind. When accurate ventilation rates of clothed swinging cylinder are estimated from first principles, the simplified heat resistance model predicted the heat loss from the isothermal cylinder surface with reasonable accuracy. The model will be a convenient tool for predicting segmental walking human body heat losses.ALOTHMANI M, 2008, INT J HEAT IN PRESS; [Anonymous], 2007, 11079 ISO; [Anonymous], 2006, 7730 ISO; [Anonymous], 2007, 9920 ISO; [Anonymous], 2002, 7933 ISO; Danielson U, 1993, THESIS ROYAL I TECHN; Fan JT, 2000, INT J HEAT MASS TRAN, V43, P2989, DOI 10.1016-S0017-9310(99)00235-5; FARNWORTH B, 1983, TEXT RES J, V53, P717, DOI 10.1177-004051758305301201; FARNWORTH B, 1986, TEXT RES J, V56, P653, DOI 10.1177-004051758605601101; Fiala D, 2001, INT J BIOMETEOROL, V45, P143, DOI 10.1007-s004840100099; Fu G, 1995, THESIS KANSAS STATE; Ghaddar N, 2005, INT J HEAT MASS TRAN, V48, P3151, DOI 10.1016-j.ijheatmasstransfer.2005.03.001; Ghaddar N, 2003, INT J THERM SCI, V42, P605, DOI 10.1016-S1290-0729(03)00026-7; GHADDAR N, 2008, ASME, V130; Ghali K, 2002, J HEAT TRANS-T ASME, V124, P530, DOI 10.1115-1.1471524; Ghali K, 2002, INT J HEAT MASS TRAN, V45, P3703, DOI 10.1016-S0017-9310(02)00088-1; Ghali K, 2006, J HEAT TRANS-T ASME, V128, P908, DOI 10.1115-1.2241811; Ghali K, 2002, J POROUS MEDIA, V5, P17; GIBSON P, 1996, NATICKTR95004 US ARM, P115; Gibson P, 2006, THERMAL AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT IN FIBROUS MATERIALS, P542, DOI 10.1533-9781845692261.3.542; GIBSON P, 1997, J SOC FIBER SCI TECH, V35, P183; HAVENITH G, 2005, P 12 INT C ENV ERG Y; HAVENITH G, 1990, ERGONOMICS, V33, P67, DOI 10.1080-00140139008927094; HAVENITH G, 1990, ERGONOMICS, V33, P989, DOI 10.1080-00140139008925308; Havenith G, 2004, EUR J APPL PHYSIOL, V92, P636, DOI 10.1007-s00421-004-1113-6; Havenith G, 2002, ENERG BUILDINGS, V34, P581, DOI 10.1016-S0378-7788(02)00008-7; Havenith G, 1999, ANN OCCUP HYG, V43, P339, DOI 10.1016-S0003-4878(99)00052-6; HAVENITH G, 2000, ENV ERGONOMICS, V10, P125; Holmer I, 1995, ANN OCCUP HYG, V39, P809, DOI 10.1016-0003-4878(95)00041-0; Huizenga C, 2001, BUILD ENVIRON, V36, P691, DOI 10.1016-S0360-1323(00)00061-5; JONES BW, 1992, ASHRAE TRAN, V98, P189; Kerslake D.M., 1972, STRESS HOT ENV; LI Y, 1992, TEXT RES J, V62, P211; Lotens WA, 1993, THESIS TNO I PERCEPT; Salloum M, 2007, INT J THERM SCI, V46, P371, DOI 10.1016-j.ijthermalsci.2006.06.017; Tanabe S, 2002, ENERG BUILDINGS, V34, P637, DOI 10.1016-S0378-7788(02)00014-2; Zhang H., 2003, THESIS U CALIFORNIA; ZHAO J, 1995, THESIS KANSAS STATE67

    The influence of wind on outdoor thermal comfort in the city of Beirut: A theoretical and field study

    No full text
    This article studies the outdoor comfort in the city of Beirut to improve the quality of open spaces and better explain the people's tolerance and acceptance of outdoor environmental conditions. Field experiments were conducted to develop statistical correlations for thermal sensation and thermal comfort of people in the outdoors to environmental parameters. A transient bioheat model was developed to study the effect of wind speed and frequency in the physiological responses of the human body and its effect on the overall body thermal sensation and comfort state. The model was experimentally validated and simulated for three different wind frequencies of 0.15, 0.25, and 0.35 Hz, representing a range of wind frequencies encountered during an average summer day. For each of these wind frequencies, simulations were performed for two air velocity ranges: V1 = 0.5 m-s to 2.8 m-s (1.64 ft-s to 9.18 ft-s) and V2 = 0.5 m-s to 1.8 m-s (1.64 ft-s to 5.9 ft-s) at air temperatures of 30°C and 34°C (86°F and 93.2°F) and relative humidity of 40percent and 70percent. The numerical results showed that for velocity range V1, the overall comfort improved from -1.15 to -0.82 with the increase of wind frequency, while at velocity range V2, comfort improved from -1.27 to -0.99 with wind frequency for the same air temperature and relative humidity. It is concluded that the positive effect of wind frequency and velocity amplitude in making people more tolerant of outdoor conditions decreases with the increase in air temperature and relative humidity.

    Effect of stove asymmetric radiation field on thermal comfort using a multisegmented bioheat model

    The multinode multisegment bioheat model of Salloum et al. [Salloum M, Ghaddar N, Ghali K. A new transient bio-heat model of the human body. In: Proceedings of the ASME 2005 summer heat transfer conference, 17-22 July 2005, San Francisco, Paper no. HT2005-72303] is integrated with a space heat model to study human thermal response when subjected to radiant asymmetry in stove-heated domestic spaces in Lebanon. For any given person position, the overall comfort level is based on Frank et al. model correlations [Frank SM, Srinivasa NR, Bulcao CF, Goldstein DS. Relative contribution of core and cutaneous temperatures to thermal comfort and autonomic responses in humans. Journal of Applied physiology 1999;86(5):1588-93]. The assessment of local comfort level is based on the maximum deviation of the clothed segments skin temperature from the mean skin temperature and its relation to the radiant temperature asymmetry. Experiments were run on human subjects at steady-state conditions to measure the variation of the skin temperature at different locations of the human body segments while standing in an asymmetric thermal radiation field generated by a stove-heating unit. The experiments were conducted to validate the applicability of the bioheat model in predicting skin temperature in asymmetric conditions. The measured skin temperature of various body segments and the radiative asymmetry agreed within ±5percent of values predicted by the bioheat model [Salloum M, Ghaddar N, Ghali K. A new transient bio-heat model of the human body. In: Proceedings of the ASME 2005 summer heat transfer conference, 17-22 July 2005, San Francisco, Paper no. HT2005-72303]. The space heat model and the bioheat model are applied to a case study to predict both overall thermal comfort and local thermal discomfort in a typical radiant heat space at different standing positions of the person. Strong thermal discomfort exists within the vicinity of the stove high-temperature surface. The local discomfort is considered at values of maximum SD1.1 °C derived from consideration of Fanger et al. [Fanger PO, Ipsen BM, Langkilde G, Olesen BW.

    Experimental and numerical investigation of the effect of phase change materials on clothing during periodic ventilation

    No full text
    A numerical and experimental investigation is conducted of periodic ventilation processes in fabric containing microcapsules of phase change materials (PCM). When PCMS are added to textiles, they release heat as the liquid changes to a solid state and absorb heat as the solid returns to a liquid state. In this work, PCMC are incorporated in a numerical three-node fabric ventilation model to study their transient effect on body heat loss during exercise when subjected to sudden changes in environmental conditions from warm indoor air to cold outdoor air. The results indicate that the heating effect lasts approximately 12.5 minutes depending on PCM percentage and cold outdoor conditions. Heat released by PCMS decreases the clothed-body heat loss by an average of 40-55 W-m2 for a one-layer suit depending on the frequency of oscillation and crystallization temperature of the PCM. The experimental results reveal that under steady-state environmental conditions, the oscillating PCM fabric has no effect on dry resistance, even though the measured sensible heat loss increases with decreasing air temperature of the chamber. When a sudden change in ambient conditions occurs, the PCM fabric delays the transient response and decreases body heat loss.Bryant Y.
