Information

This flow rate can affect how much heat leaves the body, especially in cold conditions. This is shown in this model, where modeling constant temperatures of the body core (37°C) and skin (28°C), with a skin blood flow of 170 g/min and blood specific heat of 0.92 kcal/(kg.K), gives heat losses of about 1.4 kcal/min.
