Geometry of Human Body Model Used for Simulation of Thermal Comfort in an Agricultural Vehicle
Journal Title: Machine Design - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
In order to investigate thermal conditions inside a vehicle cabin, some kind of human body model is necessary. Apart from the chosen thermal sensation model, the model of the human body must have an appropriate geometry in order to both influences the cabin environment and have the heat transfer on the similar way like the real human body. The paper deals with geometry characteristics of human body model used in research of thermal comfort. Anthropometric data for thermal manikin from several sources were compared and discussed on aspects relevant for simulation of thermal conditions in the cabin of mobile agricultural machinery.
