Radio-mode feedback from relativistic jets is one of the prominent heating mechanisms in clusters of galaxies. We present a long-term evolution of high-resolution MHD simulation of jets interacting with an environment modeled to represent the Perseus cluster. We investigate the thermodynamics of the ICM due to the gas motion triggered by the action of the jets and show that low-entropy gas is lifted efficiently in the wake of the inflating radio lobe. We look into the uplift mechanism and estimate the energy budget and the rate of thermal conduction. The redistribution of entropy suggests that heat conduction can play a more significant role in the thermal evolution of the cluster core in the presence of jets, which act effectively as a heat pump, thus heating the ICM more efficiently than jets would by themselves in an isentropic cluster.
