Abstract

To investigate the influences of the PCM micro-capsules in the garment on the body temperature responses, a mathematical model of heat and moisture transfer in garments inserted PCM micro-capsules is developed. The model is solved by the finite element method. Then, this garments model is interfaced with the thermal regulatory model of the human body based on the 3D FEM. Furthermore, the temperature distribution of garment and human body is simulated by using the model. The results show that garment with PCM can significantly delay the temperature rise compared with garment without PCM.
