Zusammenfassung: | Heat and mass transfer through textile fabrics play a crucial role in
achieving optimal thermal comfort perception by a person. The governing
properties of textile fabrics by which they influence heat and mass transfer
from the human skin to the environment are thermal transport capacity, water
vapor permeability, and air permeability. The transfer of liquid moisture
through textiles is important for thermal comfort during frequent changes in
physical activity or climate. Despite numerous studies on the transport
properties of textile materials over the past years, investigation in this
subject area is still needed. This special issue includes five articles that
offer valuable information on the subject. Both commercial and specially
designed textile structures were investigated within the presented studies
with the ambitious goal of providing a new understanding of their transport
properties. Within the first four papers presented, certain aspects of heat
and mass transfer through textile materials were analyzed at the three scale
levels: microscopic (fiber type), mesoscopic (yarn geometry and fineness),
and macroscopic (fabric porosity) levels. The fifth article dealt with the
influence of the seam type and the sewing thread fineness on the transport
properties of the seamed structure. |
