英文摘要 | A transient two-dimensional mathematical model for heat and water vapor transport across the respiratory tract of human body was established and applied to predict the thermal impact of inhaled hot gas to the nasal tissues during the early stage of fires. influences of individual's physiological status and environment variables were comprehensively investigated through numerical calculations. burn evaluation was performed using the classical henriques model to predict the time for thermal injury to occur. it was shown that decreasing the air velocity and increasing the respiratory rate is helpful to minimize the burn over the respiratory tract. the effect of relative humidity of surrounding dry hot air could be ignored in predicting bums for short duration exposures. due to evaporation cooling on the mucousal membrane, the burn often occurs at certain positions underneath the skin of the tract near the inlet of the respiratory tract. most of the tissues near the surface suffer injury immediately after exposure to fire, while in the deeper tissues, serious damage occurs after a relatively longer time period. the method presented in this paper may suggest a valuable approach to theoretically evaluate the injury of hot air to the human respiratory tract under various fire situations.
