| Research Abstract |
Heat and Mass exchange functions of biogenic countencurrent systems have extremely high efficiency from the viewpoint of mechanical engineering, especially thermal engineering. Therefore, their bio-mechanissm are needed to be clarcfied, and useful engineering applications in wide ranges are also expected. The present research project was carried out with the purpose mentioned above, and was begun with making a surray of heat and mass exchenge configurations in mammals, birds and fishes. The biogenic heat and mass exchanges are performed mainly in vibo perpherol tissures through the boundary cell membranes. Blood plays really important role as a heat medium in the case of heat exchangers. The blood enters the vessel worm, blows down to the extremity of the vasculature where it loses heat to the cold environment corresponding to a significant temperature drop, and then returns in a vein
