Abstract

The present investigation deals with the study or thermal conductivity of fabrics used for shirts. A mathematical approach on a geometrical model is attempted to relate the fabric thermal conductivity to its cover ratio. Experimental results were obtained by using a new simplified apparatus in the form of a cylinderical shape of heat source closely represents a human arm. The derived relation was found to be farily close to those observed experimentally.
