Abstract
The heated thermocouple principle is widely used for blood flow measurements in tissues. A theoretical deduction of the relationship between the fluid flow and the response of the heated thermocouple is shown to be a hyperbola. Experimental values from model and animal experiments fit the theoretical curve quite well. It seems quite impossible to precalibrate the thermocouples due to the fact that they are surrounded by a nonperfused zone of injured tissue or noncirculating blood.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
