(a) First convert the blood perfusion rate into a value with a unit of 1/s. The density and specific heat of blood are 1050 kg/m³ and 3800 J/kg°C, respectively. (b) The average tissue temperature is 45°C during the heating treatment. Calculate the value of the average volumetric heat generation rate represented by the blood perfusion term. What kind of roles does the blood play during hyperthermia treatment, i.e., carrying the heat away from the treatment site or adding energy to the treatment site? Please compare the calculated absolute value of the average strength of the perfusion source term to the external heating term (80000 W/m³) and the metabolic term (1000 W/m³). Can you neglect the effect of the blood perfusion during the hyperthermia treatment in your simulation? Can you neglect the metabolic heat generation during hyperthermia treatment?
