Description
"A reference manual for students and researchers in bioengineering . . . Combines fundamental and applied research topics of fluid dynamics and heat transfer in biological systems, providing an understanding of transport processes and biofluid mechanics strategies for disease diagnosis and therapy. This book also includes a chapter on the working principles of commonly used medical devices, which makes it a complete guide for engineering students . . . "
-From Foreword by Ramjee Repaka, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Ropar, Punjab, India
Biofluid mechanics is a branch of science that deals with fluid mechanics in living organisms. Progress in biofluid mechanics has led to extraordinary advancements in biology, including the development of the artificial hearts, heart valves, stents, and more. This new and expanded edition of Biofluid Dynamics of Human Body Systems is a comprehensive guide on the physical and chemical properties of fluids in the human body, covering the circulatory, respiratory, brain, urinary, digestive, and maternal fetal systems.
Offering a complete presentation of the physics and applications of bioheat and biofluid transport in the human body and organ systems, this volume also illustrates the necessary methodology and physics associated with the mathematical modeling of heat and mass exchange in our body. It discusses applications of dimensional analysis in bioengineering as well as bioheat and biomass transfer in the human body.
