∆S = (M-W) ± C ± R − E - answer Heat build-up dependent on body to transfer heat to
environment
∆S - Change in heat (btu/hr) (rate)
M - metabolic heat
W - external work performed
C - convection
R - radiation
E - evaporative
+ is a gain by the body
- is a loss from the body
0 is ideal
Convection (on equation sheet)
C=0.65V∧0.6(Ta-95) - answer Transfer of heat directly to fluids (usually air) contacting
the body.
C= Convection Transfer (BTU/hr)
V = air speed (ft/min)
Ta=air temper (°F)
Radiation (on equation Sheet)
R=15(Tw-95) - answerRadiation is the transfer of heat through InfraRed Radiation (IR)
R=Radiant Transfer (BTU/hr)
Tw = mean radiant temperature of objects (°F)
Evaporation (on equation Sheet)
Emax =2.4V^0.6(42-PWa) - answerEvap is the transfer of heat to the environment
through evaporative cooling
Emax - Max evaporative heat loss (BTU/hr)
V - air speed (ft/min)
PWa - vapor pressure of water at air temp (mm of Hg)
Heat Stress Index
(on equation sheet) - answerShould be below 100 (i.e. more heat gain then loss)
Ratio of req heat loss versus max - >70 increased risk
Pychrometric chart - answerGraphical relationship of
water vapor pressure, dry bulb, wet bulb, RH and dew point.
Heat Illnesses (7) - answerHeat stroke
