This textbook is a unique resource that demonstrates how engineering
principles can be applied to solve medical challenges. It offers a
toolkit on how to model heat, mass transfer, and fluid dynamics in the
human body. The book discusses numerical solutions for physiological
processes related to cryosurgery, hyperthermia, thermoregulation of
the human body, thermal and fluid dynamics in coronary stents,
magneto-hydrodynamics in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems,
and cardiac acoustics. The book looks at physiological mechanisms that
can be classified as Newtonian and Non-Newtonian fluids and clarifies
how to leverage the Navier-Stokes equations, the first and second laws
of thermodynamics, Fick's law, and Non-Newtonian principles to model
them. This book is aimed at students and researchers interested in
pursuing engineering studies with a focus on solving medical
questions. Drawing from the editor’s 50 years of experience and
knowledge gained in medical engineering, this book provides a
practical and comprehensive approach to study thermo-haemo-dynamics in
the human body. It explains how to model the described physiological
process through worked examples and providing the equations behind the
models.
