A. Beagles and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study was made primarily to obtain data applicable to the design of an optimum protective suit for divers in arctic environments. The experimental method employed swimmers who performed shallow dives in the NEL Arctic Pool at 30-32F. Skin temperature was recorded by the use of suitably located thermistors, and other data were obtained from blood samples drawn immediately before and after each dive. Results suggest that a four-piece foam neoprene wet suit consisting of a 1/8-inch tight-fitting inner suit and a 1/4-inch snug-fitting outer suit along with two pairs of neoprene socks and mittens would provide the optimum combination of protection and mobility for divers in arctic waters.

Download or read book Thermal Protection During Immersion in Cold Water written by E. L. Beckman and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The physical principles which pertain to heat loss from the human body when immersed in water at lower temperatures than its own, together with the physiological mechanisms which are activated in maintaining thermal balance are reviewed and related to the problems of thermal balance of underwater swimmers. Data on the amount of heat lost under various conditions of water temperature, body insulation, and rates of heat production are presented. The limited effectiveness of increasing internal and external body insulation is established by this data. The proposal of a method to counteract the body heat loss of underwater swimmers by the use of electrical resistance clothing is presented as being feasible within the present state of the art of battery and blanket manufacture.
Download or read book The Underwater Handbook written by Charles Shilling and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 929 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook attempts to translate data on various parameters of man's capability in underwater and hyperbaric environments for those without a background in the life sciences. Accomplishing any multifaceted task requires team work, and effective team work depends on facile communication among all participants. To communicate properly, all parties must understand each other's problems and be able to speak a similar language. To this end we believe that this publication will go a long way in furthering the understanding and communication necessary for maximum achievement. The U. S. Navy has a fundamental interest in all types of activities connected with the ocean and is especially interested in the growing field of manned underwater and hyperbaric activities. Thus, the manuscript for this comprehensive book was developed under Office of Naval Research contract N00014-67-A-0214-0013 with The George Washington University. We acknowledge with appreciation the financial support and technical guidance for this undertaking by the Naval Medical Research and Develop ment Command of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery as well as by the Engineering Psychology Program and the Physiology Program of the Office of Naval Research. JOSEPH P. POLLARD Director Biological and Medical Sciences Division Office of Naval Research vii Preface A need was felt for a book that would document the relationship of the human being to the underwater hyperbaric environment in such a way that the individual unfamiliar with the psychological or biomedical jargon could still understand and appreciate the information.

Download or read book Protective Clothing written by F. Wang and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-08-04 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protective clothing protects wearers from hostile environments, including extremes of heat and cold. Whilst some types of protective clothing may be designed primarily for non-thermal hazards (e.g. biological hazards), a key challenge in all protective clothing remains wearer comfort and the management of thermal stress (i.e. excessive heat or cold). This book reviews key types of protective clothing, technologies for heating and cooling and, finally, modeling aspects of thermal stress and strain. Explores different types of protective clothing, their uses and their requirements, with an emphasis on full-scale or prototype clothing, including immersion suits, body armour and space suits Considers novel and commercial technologies for regulating temperature in protective clothing, including phase change materials, shape memory alloys, electrically heated clothing and air and water perfusion-based cooling systems Reviews the human thermoregulatory system and the methods of modelling of thermal stress in protective clothing through various conditions, including cold water survival and firefighting
