Modeling of Heat and Fluid Flow through Fabric Systems

Abstract

Modeling of heat and fluid flow through textile systems was conducted to determine if it is possible to predict comfort of desired textile systems for use in protective garments based on the flow properties of the individual textile layers that make up the system. At the time of project termination, agreement between predicted (theoretical) and actual thermal flows had been accomplished for several single layer fabrics contained in the Universe of Fabrics accumulated by the Philadelphia University Laboratory for Engineered Human Protection.
