On the Performance of Firefighting Suits Under Different Patterns of Firefighter’s Movement: Radiation Heat Transfer Between Layers of the Suit
The pattern of the firefighter’s movement during fire exposure remarkably affects the protective performance of the firefighting suit. In addition, thermal energy transfer through the suit to the body, which d...

Evaluating the Protective Performance of Municipal Firefighting Suits During Firefighter’s Motion Under Fire Exposure
The motion of firefighters during putting fires out significantly affects the protective performance of their suits. Due to firefighter’s motion, the suit moves periodically relative to the body causing a peri...

Influence of the Fabric Properties on the Protective Performance of Flame Resistant Clothing during the Body Movement
Getting exposed to a flash fire can be a deadly situation until the worker manages to escape from the fire location. The movement of the worker induces his protective clothing to move periodically inwards and ...

Numerical simulation of the influence of fabric’s motion on protective clothing performance during flash fire exposure
The motion of a person wearing protective clothing induces the clothing to move periodically towards the skin causing a cyclic variation in the air gap between the fabric and the skin. At the same time, the cl...

Influence of the air gap between protective clothing and skin on clothing performance during flash fire exposure
A finite volume model was developed to simulate transient heat transfer in protective clothing during flash fire exposure. The model accounts for the combined conduction-radiation heat transfer in the air gap ...
