Absorbability and Thermal Capacity of Towels

Article Preview

Abstract:

Presented article deals with absorbability and thermal capacity measuring for few basic types of towels. Absorbability is the material ability to absorb water. That is especially for towels the most important property. The thermal capacity behaviour according to the increasing moisture degree was investigated by the Alambeta device. Thermal capacity is the parameter, which characterizes the thermal touch. A task of laboratory experiments was to determine how much water stayed on human body after an ordinary shower. Furthermore, it was obligatory to set chosen property characteristics by the Alambeta device and finally to set towels drying time.
