Theoretical investigation of transgastric and intraductal approaches for ultrasound-based thermal therapy of the pancreas

Table 2 Heat transfer coefficients and fluid temperatures for convective flow boundaries

Heat transfer coefficients for blood vessels are calculated based upon vessel sizes, which were measured in CT scans, and flow rates [76–82] as described by Haemmerich et al. [48]. “Large vessels” included the portal vein, superior mesenteric vein, etc. “Small vessels” included the superior mesenteric artery, splenic artery, hepatic artery, etc
