THERMAL TRANSFERS IN WET HYPERBARIC ENVIRONMENT

THERMAL TRANSFERS IN WET HYPERBARIC ENVIRONMENT

The heat losses of human body are greater in underwater environment than in dry, normal atmosphere, due to the great heat capacity of water. Body temperature of divers in immersion was studied taking into account the pressure the divers are subjected to. The theoretic equation that describes the tot...

Body temperature of divers in immersion was studied taking into account the pressure the divers are subjected to. The theoretic equation that describes the total heat transfer- at both levels: skin and respiratory system- was established, considering conduction, convection and respiratory gas heating and humidification.
