We consider non-gravitational heating effects on galaxy clusters on the basis of the Monte-Carlo modeling of merging trees of dark matter halos combined with the thermal evolution of gas inside each halo. Under the assumption of hydrostatic equilibrium and the isothermal gas profiles, our model takes account of the metallicity evolution, metallicity-dependent cooling of gas, supernova energy feedback, and heating due to jets of radio galaxies in a consistent manner. The observed properties of galaxy clusters can be explained in models with higher non-gravitational heating efficiency than that in the conventional model. Possibilities include jet heating by the Fanaroff-Riley Type II radio galaxies, and the enhanced star formation efficiency and/or supernova energy feedback, especially at high redshifts.
