Modeling Heat and Mass Transfer from Fabric-Covered Cylinders

Fabric-covered cylinders are convenient analogs for clothing systems. The geometry is well defined and includes many of the effects that are important in garments. Fabric-covered cylinder models are used in conjunction with laboratory measurements of material properties to calculate heat and mass transfer properties of clothing under specific conditions of environmental wind speed, temperature, and relative humidity.
