Environmental Ergonomics XII<br />

The highest temperature peak appears inside the PC itself, while the highest water vapour<br />

concentration is observed in the underwear. This indicates that a large amount of water<br />

vapour stays in the system because the evaporated vapour condenses over the modelled skin<br />

and then the condensate is re-wicked into the underwear.<br />
