AB - A fabric can be considered as a porous medium, its porosity size and  temperature will greatly affect air/moisture permeability and thermal  comfort. This paper studies the effect of temperature on the capillary rise  experimentally, the experimental data reveal that a higher temperature  results in a higher capillary rise, as a result, a better air/moisture  permeability is predicted. This paper elucidates also a higher temperature  is favorable for effective washing.
