Effects of condensation in clothing on heat transfer

Article Abstract:

The major factors affecting total heat loss of garments through the rate of vapor transfer are the vapor permeability of the outer garment, skin vapor concentration and air temperature. This suggests that sweating in low-vapour-permeability clothing plays a large role in dissipating heat. As such, low-permeability clothing may be as comfortable than high-permeability clothing in certain cool environments, as high permeable clothing may retain too much moisture.

Transfer of radiative heat through clothing ensembles

Article Abstract:

A mathematical model to determine the temperature and dry heat transfer in the different layers of a clothing configuration of underclothing, a trapped air layer and an outer garment gives results accurate to nearly 1 degree centigrade rms error in temperature and 10 Wm, super minus 2, rms error in dry heat loss. The most important factors in the system are the reflection coefficient of the outer garment for the radiant source and the wind speed.

The influence of backpack design on physical performance

Article Abstract:

The effect of backpack design configurations on physical performance was investigated. The results showed that different backpack designs affected physical performance due to restriction of shoulder motion and interference with balance. Restriction of shoulder motion did not significantly impede physical performance. However, balance interference decreased physical performance by around 1.5%.
