Re-evaluation of Stolwijk's 25-node human thermal model under thermal-transient conditions: Prediction of skin temperature in low-activity conditions
چکیده انگلیسی

The performance of Stolwijk's 25-node thermal model of the human body was evaluated for the prediction of the skin temperature of a sedentary person in a thermal-transient state. The skin temperature calculated by the original Stolwijk model was compared to experimental data obtained systematically from a large number of subjects exposed to stepwise changes in environmental conditions, including neutral (29.4 °C), low (19.5 °C), and high (38.9 °C) ambient temperatures. The results show that the original Stolwijk model accurately predicts both the absolute value and the tendency in the transient mean skin temperature. This suggests that the Stolwijk model is valid for the prediction of the transient mean skin temperature for the “average” person under low-activity conditions. Discrepancies are observed in the local skin temperature for some segments. However, these discrepancies can be significantly reduced through modification of the basal skin blood flow distributions and the distributions of vasoconstriction and workload in the model.
