Application of passengers’ thermoregulation integral model used in the evaluation of thermal comfort in vehicles compartment equipped with internal curtains

This work evaluates the passengers thermal comfort level inside a vehicles compartment. The numerical study, made in winter conditions, consider a bus indoor environment equipped with internal curtains, internal seats, lateral panels, ceiling, floor and occupied by 52 passengers. The numerical model...
