Experimental Study on the Characteristics of Combustion in Indirect Moxibustion with Cake Insulation

Objective : The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanism and effect of moxibustion with monkshood cake, slice & black pepper cake. objectively, to be used as the quantitative data through the measurement of temperatqre, and to grasp the thermodynamic characteristics of moxibustion with monkshood cake, slice & black pepper cake. Methods : We have selected of the moxibustion with monkshood cake, slice & black pepper cake. indirect moxibustion. We make a comparative study of the thermodynamic characteristics of moxibustion with monkshood cake, slice & black pepper cake. We examined combustion times, temperatures, temperature gradients in each period during a combustion of moxa. Results & Conclusions : 1. We can design the moxibustion with monkshood cake that it has thermodynamic characteristics of 173sec effective combustion time, $44^{\circ}C$ maximum temperature, $0.22^{\circ}C/sec$ ascending maximum temperature, if we use 3mm thickness or 3mm and below of monkshood cake and the moxa cone is formed the conical shape that the base diameter was 8mm, the height was 10mm, the density was $600mg/cm^3$. 2. We can design the moxibustion with monkshood cake that it has thermodynamic characteristics of 205~271sec effective combustion period time, $44.6{\sim}46.1^{\circ}C$ maximum temperature, $0.18{\sim}0.24^{\circ}C/sec$ ascending maximum temperature, if we use 3mm thickness of monkshood cake and the moxa cone is formed the conical shape that the base diameter was 8mm, the height was 10mm, the density was $480{\sim}720mg/cm^3$.
