Wet - Cold I. Effect of Moisture on Transfer of Heat Through Insulating Materials

Abstract

The requirements of this study were: a. To develop a theory accounting for the increased heat loss through wetted insulating materials; b. To observe effects of wetting on heat loss through selected textile materials and relate findings to the theory that has been developed; c. To consider principles which may be utilized to minimize heat loss through clothing which is worn under conditions where wetting may be expected.
