An analytical model for the counter-current heat exchange mechanism in animals has been formulated and a solution has been obtained. The nondimensional parameters that govern the mechanism have been determined in terms of the properties of the animal. The normalized temperatures are functions of normalized distance and, in general, three nondimensional heat transfer conductances. Graphical results are presented for two representative physiological systems. These results allow a delineation of those situations in which counter-current heat transfer is important, and also a quantitative prediction of the heat transfer and temperature distributions. The theory is compared to the available experimental results.
已建立了动物逆流热交换机制的分析模型并得到了一个解。根据动物的特性确定了控制该机制的无量纲参数。归一化温度是归一化距离以及通常三个无量纲传热系数的函数。给出了两个代表性生理系统的图形结果。这些结果有助于描绘逆流热传递重要的情况，也能对热传递和温度分布进行定量预测。将该理论与现有的实验结果进行了比较。
