Heat and Humans: Sweating Model Analysis and the Impact on Core and Skin Temperatures

Thermophysiological models are a set of mathematical equations that describe the heat transfer of the human body and its physiological thermal response (e.g., body core and skin temperatures) in different thermal conditions. In the heat, humans' main cooling mechanism is the evaporation of sweat. Therefore, the sweating response should be modeled accurately. However, in the literature, multiple different sweating formulae are proposed. The goal of this paper is to show their impact on (predicted) core and skin temperatures.
