title: A circuit simulating method for heat transfer mechanism in human body.
abstract: It is a complicated process to produce the inner body heat and transfer the thermal energy to body surface. Based on the comparison between bio-heat transfer and current flow in circuit, this paper offers a method to analyze heat transfer mechanism using cold water to stimulate the body system to produce echo, and applying electrical components to build a circuit to simulate the process. This method considers the production of inner heat source, the influence of organism medium during inner thermal energy transfer to the body surface and the environment temperature. It is a primary attempt to evaluate the distribution of inner body temperature noninvasively by means of thermographs and provides a new way to analyze bio-heat transfer.
