Ergonomics in clothing: Importance of thermal comfort in a typical Brazilian refrigerator of beef industry
(2017-01-01)
Human exposure to uncomfortable temperatures has been of concern in the last decade, since in these conditions the frequency of occupational accidents and diseases increases in most cases. This study discusses and determines ...
A transient three-dimensional heat transfer model of the human body
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2009)
The objective of this work is to develop an improved model of the human thermal system. The features included are important to solve real problems: 3D heat conduction, the use of elliptical cylinders to adequately approximate ...
Development of an android APP to calculate thermal comfort indexes on animals and people
(2018-08-01)
Nowadays, most of the analysis on thermal comfort in the agricultural environment, with particular reference to animal production environments, use indexes that allow the evaluation of the thermal stress level of a given ...
Human thermal comfort: an irreversibility-based approach emulating empirical clothed-body correlations and the conceptual energy balance equation
(Associação Brasileira de Engenharia e Ciências Mecânicas - ABCM, 2012)
Exergetic analysis can provide useful information as it enables the identification of irreversible phenomena bringing about entropy generation and, therefore, exergy losses (also referred to as irreversibilities). As far ...
Conforto térmico humano em caminhos disponíveis ao uso da bicicleta em Balneário Camboriú - SC, em situação veranil
(Universidade Federal de Santa MariaBrasilGeografiaUFSMPrograma de Pós-Graduação em GeografiaCentro de Ciências Naturais e Exatas, 2022-09-23)
This research aims at comprehending the level of human thermal (dis)comfort in relation to the different microclimates present in the surroundings of Balneário Camboriu’s bikeways in the summer. To that aim, a systematic ...
Effects of thermophysiological and non-thermal factors on outdoor thermal perceptions: the Tomebamba riverbanks case
(2018)
Outdoor thermal comfort (OTC) is an indicator of urban-environmental sustainability. A better understanding of OTC requires exploring the effects of contextual, non-thermal and human-related factors on thermal sensation ...
Scale-integrated atmospheric simulations to assess thermal comfort in different urban tissues in the warm humid summer of São Paulo, Brazil
(ElsevierPhiladelphia, 2013)
The microclimate of six different urban tissues was simulated on a
typical summer day in São Paulo using a combination of the mesoscale
model BRAMS and the micro-scale model ENVI-met. The simulated
air temperature and ...
Outdoor environment management through air enthalpy analysis
(2019-01-01)
With the ever-progressing urbanization of human society comes lingering public issues, primarily those related to human health and the need to provide environments where the population can be routinely frequent. Also, the ...
Relações entre preferências térmicas humanas no interior de edificações e as temperaturas externas: um estudo sobre o método adotado na norma AHSRAE 55-2004
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosBRUFSCarPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Civil - PPGECiv, 2007-03-09)
Thermal comfort is specifically related to thermal behavior in response to both indoor and outdoor air
temperature. Human thermal acceptability to climate changes and its effects depend on several aspects.
It relies not ...
Fatores que influenciam no conforto térmico no ambiente do trabalho: uma revisão sistemática
(Universidade Tecnológica Federal do ParanáPonta GrossaBrasilEngenharia de Segurança do TrabalhoUTFPR, 2018-10-31)
The research proposed a bibliographical survey about the influence of thermal comfort on the work environment, taking into account the thermal stress. Since thermal comfort is directly related to the physical, mental and ...
