摘要: A numerical model of the heat transfer in firefighters' protective clothing is used to demonstrate roles important fabric properties under different conditions. The effects material during short duration, high flux exposures are compared these same long lower exposures. In addition, importance on rates at which garments cool after an exposure also explored. results utility models design and promote a greater understanding protection that offered firefighters by their clothing.
