Heat and Mass Transfer

 

In the ‘Heat and Mass Transfer’ Group, we analyse the thermal interactions between the human body, the climate and clothing. Thanks to human-like apparatus, we simulate the human thermoregulation and study the coupled heat and mass transport through multilayer clothing combinations.

We develop new materials and systems to support the thermoregulatory functions and to improve the human performance.
