A Comprehensive Mathematical Model for Simulation of Latent and Sensible Heat Losses from Wet-Skin Surface and Fur Layer of a Cow

This paper presents a comprehensive mathematical model that calculates heat and mass transfer from the skin surface and fur layer of a cow. The model predicts evaporative, respiratory, convective, radiant and urine heat losses for different levels of skin and fur wetness, air velocity, ambient t...
