There are two main phenomena that make heat transfer in living
tissues more complex than in conventional engineering materials:
• metabolic heat generation and
• the exchange of thermal energy between flowing blood and the
surrounding tissue.
The perfusion term accounts for energy exchange between the blood
and the tissue and is an energy source or sink according to whether
heat transfer is from or to the blood, respectively.
qP=I(Sp-Sn)T=ISp-nT---------------------------------(2)
When T1 T2, the heat transfer rates to and from the device, q1 and
q2, respectively, can be found by solving the appropriate form of the
energy equation.
This shows that because of the Peltier effect, q1 and q2 are not equal
to the heat transfer rates into and out of the pellets
