In order to provide a detailed estimate of radiative heat transfer between a human body and its surrounding environment, the authors have developed a geometric model of a human form and an algorithm. The model closely resembles the actual shape of a human body and is composed of small quadrilateral surfaces. Dealing with an object or a space with an arbitrary shape, the developed algorithm can judge efficiently whether there is an obstruction between a pair of surfaces. As a result, the angle… CONTINUE READING
