Numerical simulations of heat and moisture transport in thermal protective clothing under flash fire conditions.
A numerical model of heat and moisture transport in thermal protective clothing during exposure to a flash fire was introduced. The model was developed with the assumption that textiles are treated as porous media. The numerical model predictions were compared with experimental data from different fabric systems and configurations. Additionally, with the introduction of a skin model, the parame...
متن کاملRoles of Motorcycle Type and Protective Clothing in Motorcycle Crash Injuries
Background. The aims of this study were to identify subgroups of motorcyclists with a higher accident risk and evaluate the efficiency of protective clothing for preventing injuries. Methods. A 1-year prospective study of motorcycle crashes was conducted beginning in June 2012. Participants were patients involved in motorcycle crashes and admitted to our emergency department. Results. A total o...
متن کاملMotorcycle protective clothing: protection from injury or just the weather?
BACKGROUND Apart from helmets, little is known about the effectiveness of motorcycle protective clothing in reducing injuries in crashes. The study aimed to quantify the association between usage of motorcycle clothing and injury in crashes. METHODS AND FINDINGS Cross-sectional analytic study. Crashed motorcyclists (n=212, 71% of identified eligible cases) were recruited through hospitals and...
متن کاملHow clean is clean enough? Maintaining thermal protective clothing under field conditions in the oil and gas sector.
The purpose of this research was to develop practical care procedures to help maintain the protective quality of flame resistant workwear laundered by workers in the field. Based on observed field conditions, experiments were conducted that simulated domestic laundry procedures. The first experiment involved two flame resistant (FR) fabrics, contaminated or not contaminated with oil. Independen...
متن کاملThe effect of the UK aircrew chemical defence assembly on thermal strain.
The thermal strain imposed on helicopter aircrew by chemical protective (NBC) clothing in summer in Germany has been assessed in a laboratory simulation. The environmental conditions used were dry bulb temperature 35 degrees C, wet bulb temperature 19 degrees C and a wind speed of 2.0 m X s-1. The NBC equipment imposed a significant thermal strain on the crewman when compared with standard summ...
