Applied Energy, 1976, vol. 2, issue 4, 269-277

Abstract: At 20 ± 2°C for a wide range of clothing fabrics, which usually have high air-volume voidages, the thermal resistance to [`]dry' heat transfers (apart from boundary layer contributions on their faces) is proportional to the fabric thickness. This resistance exhibits a maximum at a fabric density of approximately 90 kg m-3.
