AB  - Protective clothing is made up of multiple layers of textile, which include thermal barrier, moisture barrier, chemical
protection and heat radiation protection layers etc. This clothing is commonly used by workers working in the chemical
industry, blast furnaces, glass industry, industrial boilers and many more. The ambient conditions for these workplaces
are humid and hot in which the clothing is designed for the external protection of heat and fluids but the neglected issue
is the internal heat and moisture accumulation. This makes the clothing extremely uncomfortable and significantly
reduces the workability of the wearer. The multi-layered structure of this clothing causes the body moisture and heat to
trap in between layers, which in extreme ambient conditions like working near the furnace or flash fire causes body
burns, these “steam burns” are common and considered to be caused by the condensed moisture trapped in the layers
of protective garment. This research aims to firstly investigate the moisture flow through hybrid textile layers and its
effect on heat transfer and then secondly to see the impact of extreme radiation flux on the moisture flow inside the
textile layers and improvement by using Aerogels.
