Abstract
Temperature profiles have been computed in the skin and subdermal part of a human body for (i) various values of environmental temperature, rate of sweat evaporation and wind velocity, (ii) rate of blood mass flow, (iii) rate of metabolic heat generation and (iv) three different sets of thicknesses of skin layers. The mathematical equations have been considered for a one-dimensional steady-state case. The two important physical parameters, namely rate of blood mass flow and rate of metabolic heat generation, have been assigned position-dependent values. The latter is also taken as linearly dependent on the tissue temperature. Analytic solutions have been obtained for the three layers of the region. These forms of solution facilitate the study of parameter dependence.
