Use of Finite Element Method in Study of Air Conditioning Clothes

Article Preview

Abstract:

Finite element method is useful in research of nonlinear problems, and this method has been an obbligato tool in scientific research, engineering design, and product optimization. This paper aims to use finite element method in the study of air-conditioning clothes, for simulating the thermal flux in the microenvironment of body-clothes- macroclimate. Phase change materials are put on clothes to realize the air conditioning effect. NX nastran is adopted to do the simulation and analysis, and proved to be effective.
