The classical model of the Fourier's law is known as the most common constitutive relation
for thermal transport in various engineering materials. Although the Fourier's law has been …

Microwave ablation is recognized as a minimally invasive, fast-recovery treatment for
destroying cancer cells using the heat generated by microwave energy. Despite the …

In this chapter we focus on the equation that expresses the first law of thermodynamics in a
porous medium. We start with a simple situation in which the medium is isotropic and where …

Epidermal electronic devices (EEDs) have drawn much attention recently due to their wide
applications in biological monitoring and biomedicine. Due to the thermo-mechanical …

In this paper, we formulate a fractional thermal wave model for a bi-layered spherical tissue.
Implicit finite difference method is employed to obtain the solution of the direct problem. The …

A thermal therapy for cancer in skin tissue is numerically investigated using three bioheat
conduction models, namely Pennes, thermal wave and dual-phase lag models. A laser is …

Simulation techniques are powerful tools for determining the optimal conditions necessary
for microwave ablation to be efficient and safe for treating liver tumors. Owing to the …

An appropriate evaluation of thermal characteristics in biological bodies under the influence
of external heat source during the hyperthermia therapy is inherently difficult, since living …

Macroscale thermal models for biological tissues can be developed either by the mixture
theory of continuum mechanics or by the porous-media theory. Characterized by its …

We develop a general bioheat transport model at macroscale for biological tissues with the
required closure provided. The model shows that both blood and tissue macroscale …
