ABSTRACT

In addition, the single temperature measured at a chosen location does not represent the temperatures of the dierent parts of the body even on the skin surface. e temperature of a human being typically decreases from the core to the skin by 3°C-5°C to support the heat dissipation to the surroundings. e transport processes involving conduction and advection (blood perfusion) within the body and the thermal boundary conditions at the skin determine the local skin temperature. In addition, the sweat glands in the human skin respond to dierent stimuli and the surface temperature is aected by the evaporation of water at the surface.
