Abstract:In workplaces such as steel, power grids, and construction, firefighters and other workers often encounter non-uniform high-temperature environments, which significantly increase the risk of local heat stress and local heat discomfort for the workers. In this paper, a multi-segment human bioheat model is developed to predict the human thermal response in asymmetric high-temperature environments by considering the sensitivity of the modeling to angular changes in skin temperature and the effects of high tempera… Show more
