Abstract:
The investigation is induced by the design of a new fluid-thermal acupuncture needle which is heated by fluid. Because the diameter of the flow tube for the acupuncture needle is less than 1 mm, the mechanical model of this needle can be regarded as a microtube. Then the microscale heat transfer model can be adopted to analyze the thermal-mechanical characteristics of the flow and heat transfer in the flow tube, which is implemented by the theoretical model and finite element method (FEM) software ANSYS. And the simulation results by two methods have good consistency. So the density of heat flow on the surface of the fluid-thermal acupuncture needle and the temperature of the acupunctured skin can be analyzed and designed by changing the temperature and flow speed of fluid¡¯s inlet from the theoretical and FEM method. The study tries our best to develop the basic theoretical method for the design of the fluid-thermal acupuncture needle and obtains some interested results.
