The objectives of the paper are to analyze human convection, radiation, evaporation, respiration, conduction, and diffusion heat losses when the operative temperature increases from 26-34.4?C and then decreases from 34.4-26?C with a ratio of 1.4?C per 5 minutes. A energy balance model is used for se...
