Abstract
In a previous paper, a least-squares approach was used to develop a model of the control system's response to temperature stresses in an air environment. This procedure has now been applied to the case of temperature stresses during water immersion. The model presented here includes equations for predicting metabolic heat production and surface blood flow. In addition, upper and lower limits have been determined for each controller response. Validity of the model has been tested via simulation. The control system model developed in this study was incorporated in an existing complete temperature-regulation system simulation model. Thus modified, the complete model was used to simulate a number of published experiments. Graphical and statistical analysis indicates that the model is valid over a wide range of temperatures.
