Abstract | Current state-of-the-art thermoregulatory models do not simulate body temperature responses with the accuracies that are required for the development of automatic cooling control in liquid cooling garment (LCG) systems. Automatic cooling control would be beneficial in a variety of space, aviation, military, and industrial environments. It would optimize cooling efficiency, aid in making LCGs as portable and practical as possible, alleviate the individual from manual cooling control, and improve thermal comfort and cognitive performance. In this study, we implement an available state-of-the-art thermoregulatory model in a LCG environment and compare the thermal model response with experimental data for a 700 W rectangular type metabolic rate schedule. We modify the blood flow dynamics of the thermoregulatory model and identify a new vasoconstriction signal, i.e., the rate of change of hypothalamus temperature weighted by the hypothalamus error signal, which governs the thermoregulatory response during conditions of simultaneously increasing core and decreasing skin temperatures. With this new vasoconstriction dependency, the thermoregulatory model simulates rectal and mean skin temperature responses with root mean square deviations of 0.10°C and 0.48°C, respectively, which results in 40% and 17% reductions in the mean and peak body heat storage errors, respectively. Although the new model’s mean body heat storage error is within the allowable by an 11% margin, the peak body heat storage error exceeds the allowable by 222%, indicating that further refinements are needed. With additional improvements to the set-point temperatures, the central blood pool formulation, and the LCG boundary condition, it seems possible to achieve the strict accuracy that is needed for the development of automatic cooling control in LCG systems. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
