| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Two devices have been developed to simulate perspiration and sweating from infant’s body surface in terms of constructing in the future baby sweating thermal manikin, which simulates not only baby’s body shape but also heat production and release. Both the devices consisted of mainly two parts, which of the one was a simulating skin and the other was a water supplier. The evaporated water vapour from the device of simulating perspiration was resulted in the rate of approximately 8 g/m2h, whose rate was in good agreement with infant’s perspiration from the body. In baby, sweat evaporates entirely and quickly because of a smaller amount of sweat rate, e.g. 25 g/m2h, even if he/she is exposed to a hot environment. Its phenomenon was also seen in the developed device of simulating infant’s sweating with several sweat rate conditions. Therefore, these results indicate that techniques of simulating perspiration and sweating can be able to apply into constructing a baby thermal manikin.
