Abstract

A numerical model of heat and moisture transport in membrane material under steam hazard was developed and agreed well with experimental results. This model was employed to explore the mechanism of heat and moisture transfer in membrane material. Additionally, the effect of membrane material properties and exposure conditions on thermal protective performance of protective clothing was analyzed based on the developed model.
