Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of the parameter 'Met' in the context of heat exchange between the human body and its environment?

  • Estimating the heat exchange between the human body and the environment
  • Quantifying the metabolism of a person resting in a sitting position under thermal comfort conditions (correct)
  • Expressing the heat lost through evaporation and respiration from the skin
  • Measuring the insulation of a clothing system for an average male in a ventilated room
  • How is the 'Clo' parameter related to the 'Met' parameter?

  • It represents the heat lost through evaporation and respiration from the skin
  • It is defined as the insulation required to maintain a sitting-resting average male comfortable in a normally ventilated room (correct)
  • It measures the metabolic heat generation in W/m2
  • It indicates the heat transmitted through clothing to maintain thermal comfort
  • What is the relationship between 1 Met and the heat generation of a person sitting quietly?

  • 1 Met = 38 kcal/m2 h
  • 1 Met = 50 kcal/m2 h (correct)
  • 1 Met = 58.2 W/m2
  • 1 Met = 24 % of metabolic heat

    Study Notes

    Thermal Transmission Parameters

    • Thermal resistance is a fundamental parameter in understanding thermal transmission
    • Thermal resistance of textile material is measured in SI units as °Km2/W

    Definition of Thermal Resistance

    • Thermal resistance is defined as the ratio of temperature difference between two faces of fabric (∆T in °K) to the rate of heat transmission (q in W/m2)
    • Thermal resistance = ∆T / q = °K/Wm2 = °Km2/W
    • Reciprocal of heat flux is equal to thermal resistance
    • Heat flux is measured in units of W/m2K

    Practical Units of Thermal Resistance

    • Tog is a practical unit of thermal resistance, equal to 1/10 of the SI unit (1 Tog = 1/10 m2°K/W)
    • Clo is another practical unit used specifically for cold climate clothing, equal to 1.55 × Tog
