AB - This paper proposes an effective method to predict the thermal conductivity of  plain woven blended fabric to optimize woven fabric structure, and to  evaluate thermal comfort. The unit cell model of fabric is established for  numerical simulation of heat transfer through thickness. The thermal  conductivity of blended yarns is calculated by a series model. The  temperature and heat flux distributions are verified experimentally.
