| Abstract |
A model hand in which heat, supplied electrically, was controlled by a computer, was used to test the thermal insulation provided by 9 commercially available winter mittens. The model hand consisted of 16 sections each with an individual heat supply. The heat transfer coefficient was determined for the bare hand in the 0-4m/s wind speed range. The coefficient was 16.5Wm-2K-1 in still air and increased by 15.1 for each 1m/s wind speed. The heat transfer coefficient for the hand covered with a good winter mitten was 6.2Wm-2K-1 and the increase was 0.55 for each 1m/s wind speed. |
