Book Synopsis Human Temperature Control by : Eugene H. Wissler

Download or read book Human Temperature Control written by Eugene H. Wissler and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-29 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The principal objective of this book is to provide information needed to define human thermal behavior quantitatively. Human thermal physiology is defined using mathematical methods routinely employed by physicists and engineers, but seldom used by physiologists. Major sections of the book are devoted to blood flow, sweating, shivering, heat transfer within the body, and heat and mass transfer from skin and clothing to the environment. Simple algebraic models based on experimental data from a century of physiological investigation are developed for bodily processes. The book offers an invaluable source of information for physiologists and physical scientists interested in quantitative approaches to the fascinating field of human thermoregulation.
