Effect of air velocity on thermal insulation systems

Applied Energy, 1979, vol. 5, issue 4, 318 pages

Abstract: A thermal comfort model has been developed to relate skin surface temperature to ambient air temperature and windspeed. Relatively low wind assaults on clothing appreciably reduce the air boundary layer effective thermal resistance, whereas further equal increases in wind speed have decreasingly less effect in reducing the thermal resistance. Conclusions reached are extended to other insulation systems. The analysis assumes that no wind penetration through the insulant occurs.
