under an isothermal condition. It was found that the evaporative resistances measured with cotton skin
were smaller than those measured with the other two skins. The large evaporative area and strong water
absorbing ability of thick, dense and hydrophilic cotton skin result in more evaporative heat loss and
consequently lower evaporative resistance values.},
