An authoritative guide to theory and applications of heat transfer in humans, Theory and Applications of Heat Transfer in Humans 2V Set offers a comprehensive reference to the field of heating and cooling of tissue, and associated damage. Written by a noted expert in the field, this book presents fundamental physics and physiology related to the topic, along with recent applications, enabling both beginner and advanced readers to delve into the subject matter. The book provides a basic framework that can be used to obtain ‘decent’ estimates of tissue temperatures for various applications involving tissue heating and/or cooling, and also offers ways to develop more complex methods for accurate results.

The content is organized in three sections: “Physics,” which presents fundamental mathematical frameworks; “Physiology,” which provides the basis for physiological assumptions needed for successful mathematical tools; and “Applications,” which showcases examples of how these sections are used to solve current and future problems. Ideal for researchers, engineers, and medical professionals, this book serves as a valuable resource in understanding the complexities of heat transfer in human tissue.
