A Method to Determine Human Skin Heat Capacity Using a Non-Invasive Calorimetric Sensor

A calorimetric sensor has been designed to measure the heat flow dissipated by a 2 x 2 cm<sup>2</sup> skin surface. In this work, a non-invasive method is proposed to determine the heat capacity and thermal conductance of the area of skin where the measurement is made. The method consist...
