THERMAL EXCHANGES OF THE HUMAN BODY IN EXTREME HEAT,

Abstract

Seven nude men were exposed supine to various environmental temperatures ranging from 50 to 130 C. The respiratory heat exchange, the metabolic heat production, the change in the body heat content, and the coefficient for evaporative heat transfer were determined. The radiating surface area and coefficient for convective heat transfer were calculated by using the method of partitional calorimetry. (Author)
