In this study, monthly total heat
loss (evaporative and convective heat losses) and exergy flow that occur as a
result of respiration were determined for human bodies in states of light and
heavy activity levels, and comparisons of the results obtained were made according
to different meteorological conditions and regions. For this purpose, seven
different climate zones (CZ-1, CZ-2, CZ-3, CZ-4, CZ-5, CZ-6 and CZ-7) in Turkey
were selected. Meteorological parameters such as atmospheric temperature,
atmospheric pressure and relative humidity were used for energy and exergy analyses.
According to the obtained results, total heat loss and exergy flow through
respiration of the human body demonstrated considerable variations seasonally
depending on the climate zones. The highest heat loss and exergy flow values were
determined in the region of Continental climate (CZ-2), while the lowest heat
loss and exergy flow values were obtained in the region of Mediterranean
climate (CZ-5). For a human body engaging in light activity in a hot climate
zone, the exhaled air temperature, specific humidity and relative humidity
values were determined as 35.11 oC, 0.0333 kg H2O/kg dry
air and 91.3%, respectively.
